This has to be one of the funniest threads I've read in awhile and is an example of what Hype is doing for this movie.. Apparently, The DARK KNIGHT is so damn good that it will in fact cure blindness and possibly put an end to world hunger, hell even cure cancer..

You do realize that it was a joke don't you? And aren't you supposed to be gone from here right now? You lost a bet if I remember right. Actually, you didn't just lose. You got raped hard.

Maybe if WALL-E hadn't already done it.

So bkb/Green/mr identity crisis, did you find spiderman yet?

Sink your claws into it? Too bad for you it's being raved about as the Godfather/Godfather II of superhero movies.

To answer your question...yes...yes it will.

Nope, but I hear Jesus is going to stand in line for the midnight showing. He hasn't done that since Wall-E.

Even Devin at CHUD is going to give it an 8 or 8.5 according to a post on the website right now. He is against the overhype, but not against the film. BKB, on the other hand, is so anti-Nolan it's pretty pathetic. He can't even judge the film without a ridiculous bias. Go jerk off to Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes. Meanwhile the rest of us will enjoy the fact that Nolan is kicking the crap out of Burton's movies.

Even I'm starting to get slightly more excited about The Dark Knight.

And WTF does that have to do with the quality of the film? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Fuck, Batman & Robin would have made $300+ million if it was the first Batman movie by WB.

it'll probably turn everyone into disturbed serial killers, but yeah, I think you get the general gist of it.

Nah, He's planning ahead on this one. doesn't want to get shut out on opening night. He picked up his tickets today.

Well Jesus is smarter than the average hippie.

Geeze.. See?? It's reviews like this that I honestly have to call bogus on.. A Cinematic Revolution?? Really?? You think?? You think this is being overhyped to the moon??

This is not a review of The Dark Knight. However, considering the film isn't even in theaters yet, it might come as a surprise to hear so much profound praise, but I can't help from sharing my feelings on this absolute masterpiece. In fact, I've decided to move beyond calling it a masterpiece to calling it potentially a cinematic revolution. Not since Lord of the Rings: Return of the King five years ago in December of 2003, did I walk out of the theater so moved, so amazed, and so extraordinarily impacted by the movie I had just watched. Instead of reviewing this film and its many brilliant elements, I must explain why it truly is a flawless masterpiece that the world will experience together on July 18th. Don't necessarily change any of your expectations, but be prepared for an unforgettable theatrical experience.

Now folks, I'm sure the movie is good, but a Cinematic Revolution?? Come on.. Enough already.. You know?? Now that I think about it, I really feel sorry for the 1 critic out there that gives this movie the RT SPLAT!! or gives this movie a grade of average or less cause the fanboys will eat them alive over it..
