Dark Knight Rises beats this

Me too but you have to realise Batman is an institution. We all grew up with him on the screen going back to the days of black and white television. So-called social or political 'commentaries' are usually fly by nights. They're popular when in the theater but often ignored on the video shelf. I don't know the figures but I'll bet TDKR has been shown more times on TV than BD.

This film totally annihilates TDKR in film making art. I never think too much about IMDb ratings vs other movie ratings but knowing TDKR has a higher rating than Blood Diamond makes me angry. TDK was a great movie, much better than TDKR and still it wasn't quite as good as Blood Diamond. IMDb people are weird.

The Dark Knight Rising is not a proper movie (it's merely a series of badly directed scenes mashed together without any sense or meaning) so I don't see why we should compare it to actual movies like Blood Diamond.

Blood Diamond has it's flaws, like the terrible "lovestory" and DiCaprio's odd attempts at emoting and doing a South African accent. However it all comes together forming a proper film with a story and characters. The Dark Knight Rising on the other hand is an unwatchable mess. Only children and emotionally stunted or severtely brain damaged adults would ever claim otherwise.

Hidyho!

I am Batman fan, but not fond for TDKR. BD is way better film, I gave it 8/10

i gave dkr 1/10 and this 3/10, i wanted to give it 2, but i gave it three for the little jewish hat, kind of brave.
