‘The Dark Knight’ sitting at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes …

Checking Rotten Tomatoes today I see that ‘The Dark Knight’, which in my mind should be sitting at 100%, is only at 90%. So lets talk about why.

First off there is a hack review from some guy(David Denby) with The New Yorker, who also didn’t seem to like IRONMAN, You can read his full review here. Here is a snippit from his review:

“At times, the movie sounds like two excited mattresses making love in an echo chamber. In brief, Warner Bros. has continued to drain the poetry, fantasy, and comedy out of Tim Burton’s original conception for “Batman†(1989), completing the job of coarsening the material into hyper-violent summer action spectacle.”

The next bad review we get from David Edelstein with NY Mag(whats with the guys from NY not digging this movie?), who also didn’t seem to care for IRONMAN. You can read his full review of ‘The Dark Knight’ here, but here is a snippit:

The Dark Knight is noisy, jumbled, and sadistic.”

Then we have a review from Marshall Fine with Star Magazine, but come on..did we expect anything less from this hack magazine?

There are 4 rotten reviews, and 37 fresh reviews..you decide who to believe. Kind of ridiculous.

  1. Are all of the critics in New York on drugs??? 3 out of 4 of the rotten reviews are out of the same area..maybe the Happening was real! but instead of people dropping dead..their brains turn to mush and they become raving lunatics. David Edlestien doesn’t care for anything entertaining unless it has a cultural meaning and is Oscar worthy… He and Denby both are too much in love with themselves and want to stand out by taking the negative. I’m sure there is a documentary on the migration of carpenter ants that they both will love!

  2. Marching the Ant way!..Today it's official after seeing the film last night..I hate the NY film critics…they are all idiots!

  3. Do you have the title of the carpenter ant movie; I would like to Netflix it?? Thanks
