    2 out of 5 stars? thats a so-so movie. While Im the first to admit, its no "There will be blood" or "God Father" its really not a so-so movie. I wouldn't even mind if I thought this was a very very tough critic, but he gave Baby Mama 3 stars and Donkey Punch 2 stars. Maybe baby mama is worth 3 stars, maybe, but its not better than the Dark Knight.

    There are bad points to the movie, only a few, but this is like getting a movie everybody else likes, and not liking it for said reason. I think the Sunday times need to get a less stuffy critic like Rodger Egburt, his system is like if a Batman movie is 4 stars, its in comparison to Hellboy or Punisher. Its not in comparison to the Godfather, or There Will be Blood.

    Also his review quoted Gordon as saying "Some men just want to watch the world burn". I knew Alfred said it before I saw the movie. I dont think this critic was paying enough attention, or any at all....

    2 stars??? Really??? What a rotten sob. The Dark Knight is incredible. It's perfect. I love it past the point of words. Some of those critics really have no clue what they're on about :mad:
