  • 25 years from now, this film will be put in the congressional film vault for historic importance.

  • 3 years later.....none of the 5 Best Picture nominees are mentioned, remembered, referred to....they're practically forgotten.

    The Dark Knight ? Still remembered to this day. Not just because it was a Batman film. Because it was also an AMAZING film. Period.

  • This should have won best fight not Twilight .

  • This is the true Best Picture of 2008, not "Slumdog Millionare". It's a good movie, but "The Dark Knight" is the best.

  • @TexasFilmCritic Slumdog Millionaire was a terrific piece of filmmaking too; really, that was the only movie in the 5 nominated films that year that I thought deserved to be there. The Dark Knight should have as well, especially ahead of movies like The Reader...or even the good (but overhyped) Frost/Nixon.

  • I honestly think this may be one of the greatest movies of all time...It plays upon our fundamental fears about morality to an almost primal, unprecedented extent...It takes cliche and knocks it on its ass and turns it upside down until it's unrecognizable...Ledger's performance is indescribable and should be recognized with the academy award, although all performances are Oscar worthy, they're that good... I am still haunted by this film...

  • dunno if it's the quality of my speakers but that punch in the interrogation room sounded so hard my head feels like it's been knocked off everytime I rewind it to that place

  • this movie DESERVES the Best Picture Award!

    It has no rivals. Too damn brilliant, Nolan's work is a masterpiece, the Academy must consider it.

    And I retain it should win Best Director, Best score, Best cinematography and Photography. I wouldn't give awards to actors, not because I don't like Ledger's performance, but I think all the main characters have been GREAT!

  • I agree, Hollywood and critics consider films like Slumdog Millionare underdog films. The Dark Knight is the True underdog because its films like this that dont get any recognition for Best Picture Oscar. The best movie I've seen in recent years and there won't be another one like it.

  • This movie blew me away. I'm a long time Batman fan and this delivered on every level possible - exceeding every one of my expectations.

  • this is the non pretentious pick for best picture. All the other picks are just chick flicks with fancy lighting

    TDK:most entertaining movie of the year

  • I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO

    SOMEONE TALK TO ME Ok

  • 2:10 to 2:23 sums up the Dark Knight almost perfectly. It's not about the battle between two people but between two ideologies. Idealism vs. Cynicism. Even though the two beliefs are different, the people who hold those beliefs can sometimes be almost indistinguishable from one another. And because this is delivered so subtly, The Dark Knight is the best movie of the year.

    And the Joker's comment on panic during 0:50-1:00 might be a subtle comment on the clash of the classes.

  • i would have to agree!! great review! great videos!! check me out!! im subscribing to you rightnow!!

  • The thing with this movie is that audiences and critics around the world agree it is so good it transcends comic book movies, as well as the rivalry between marvel and dc. Oh and Downey's comments about the Dark Knight were just low class.

  • Yes, the 'thing' called Downey always say bad words for everything he couldn't join. All the world know that it's because he's jealous :))

  • doomstoday is sucking Marvel dick!!! Basically admits it, how sad!

  • Fuck Downey man Batman owns Marvel!!!

  • golden globes suck

  • Amazing movie..one of the best yet i hope theres more just like this to come. what a sick movie..brilliant,amazing,chill­ing, and violent..awesome movie.. its ashame Heath Ledger cant be here to see what a masterpiece hes made. RIP HEATH LEDGER

  • Yeah... All I've been thinking ever since seeing it is that Heath would just be dumbfounded by the accolades this movie's gotten, let alone it's popularity, especially of his Joker!

    If it doesn't win at the Oscars, at least we know by now it'll be a huge cult classic.

  • Hey guys ggreat news!!!!the Academy has reversed its decision 2 disqualify the movie's score.

  • They changed their minds?

    WELL, GOOD.

    Shame such a great and distinctive score would've been ignored!

  • It's BS that the guys in the movies said that the soundtrack wasn't 70% created by the composers.

    Similar styles and techniques, maybe. Stealing? F*ck NO!

  • There was NOTHING better than this movie this year. Maybe even this decade. Or ever.

    There is no reason except for the fact that the Oscars suck that The Dark Knight shouldn't get Best Picture.

  • Every word said was completely true. I'm more than happy to say The Dark Knight is one of the best movies I've ever seen, let alone the best movie of 2008! I support it 100% for best picture, and I hope Heath Ledger wins best supporting actor at the Oscars too.

  • Agree with every minute of this. :D

  • Can agree with you more khanhechip!!!

  • The music is awesome :X :X :X

  • "I frankly can't remember the last time I became so emotionally invested...Maybe never."

    Mhm, it is a masterpiece, no question. I love the score too!

  • The title says it all!!!Shame on Academy if no oscar is given!!!One of the most iconic films to date!!!

  • Wow! This Trailer says exactly what the Film is - a Masterpiece!

  • "Like A Dog Chasing Cars"=Best track on the album. Nice choice! Great video!

  • oh god, that song is "Like a dog chasing cars", my fav score !!!! This movie really deserves an Oscar ! Best picture, Best supporting actor & Best script !!!

  • and definitely best score. the music is incredible in my opinion.

  • pity that the Academy disqualified The Dark Knight score while everyone know that it's the best of this year !

  • I like this well put together! I believe it will be nominated for best picture, it has too much buzz and critical acclaim to be ignored. As to whether it will win that is another question, but its got a chance!

  • I love it when people talk about overhype and the like. Seen many lesser quality films get awards in years past. This should win awards, and it deserves awards. Which ones, is a different story.

  • An iconic masterpiece.  Dark Knight for the Oscar!

  • OSCARs!!!!

  • oscar !!

  • Woe is me.............

  • Picture of the year. Hands down. Fucking brilliant.

  • This movie should prove once and for all that the absolute best movies have little to NO CGI in it at all.

    Go Nolan, keep up the good work and if you don't make at Bats 3, be proud you finished on top!!!

  • Actually, the best are those that only use CGI when necessary. In cases like The Dark Knight, little is needed so little is used, but in The Lord of the Rings... well, the amount of CGI in films such as those don't diminish the value is what I'm saying.

  • This movie deserves every kind of nomination especially Best Picture no doubt in my mind

  • "NO batman movies made in the past comes close to the dark knight"

  • amen brother

  • you must of been high and drunk as shit if you hated the movie

  • batman for 10 Oscars

  • One of the best films I've seen in over a decade, and easily the best of the year.

  • Couldn't agree more

  • Best Motion Picture: The Dark Knight

    Best Actor: Josh Brolin (W.) or Micky Rourke (The Wrestler)

    Best Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger

    Best Director: Christopher Nolan

    Best Adapted Screenplay: Jonathan Nolan

    Best Actress: Nicole Kidman (Australia)

    Best Supporting Actress: Thandie Newton (W.)

    Best Film Editing: The Dark Knight

    Best Art Direction: The Dark Knight

  • "Dark Knight" should definitely be nominated for--if not win--best picture. At the very least Heath Ledger should win an Oscar for his performance.

  • only thing i didnt like was, in the first one they made a custom Gotham city and it looked great, in the second one they basically used NYC....

  • It was Chicago

  • Chicago, but I agree.

  • Chicago makes a great Gotham City.

    Great choice by Nolan and the crew

  • post-oscars night headline: DARK KNIGHT TAKES ALL

  • Best Motion Picture

    Best Actor (Christian Bale because really, playing Batman, Bruce Wayne as a playboy and Bruce as the tortured soul is a hard thing to do, and Bale does it beautifully.)

    Best Supporting Actor (Heath Ledger should get it of course... but Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart should also be nominated since they did just a good of a job as Ledger did. They were all equally fantastic!)

    Best Director (Christopher Nolan)

    Best Adapted Screenplay

    Best Film Editing

    Best Art Direction

  • yep , dark nights do suck.

    Although the dark knight was great.

  • if u'd seen it, there's no way u'd say that

  • hell ive downloaded it and i still have it

  • why didn't you like it?

  • dont know just wasn't appealing to me and the batman is one my least favorite superheros

  • The Dark Knight WILL win and it will be a big surprise to everyone. Trust me!

  • wooohoooo! :D

  • awesome. best picture, best supporting actor, best cinematography, best director. i wanna join the campaign!

  • lmao "hiii"

  • Best picture and best supporting actor.

  • If Return of the king can win why can't the dark knight.

  • That is right! Return of the King was fantasy and a sequel which the Academy is usually biased against. It also was critically acclaimed in addition to breaking box office records the same as Dark Knight.

  • This was the first movie I saw that I actually went and saw again two days later. This movie keeps you in it for over two hours and doesn't let you go until you realize the credits have been rolling.

  • Yeah ! this movie is the best

  • yeah

    the dark knight is the best picture of our last years!

  • The Dark Knight=rare masterpiece!!!

  • This is my favorite movie of all time, however, we all know how biased the Academy is against super hero movies, even though it would be an insult to call it that. At least we'll know that if TDK at least doesn't get nominated, then no super hero movie ever will.

  • favorited rated.

  • I agree, BEST PICTURE of the year

    Well Done Chris Nolan!!!

  • im watching the sky news channel at ww w.s t v p c .c om

  • god this film is so incredibly overrated. yeah its a very well made and constructed movie. "but it's dark [which for some reason is seen as being original] and ledger is amazing!"i disagree. this film is little more than a mish mash of Heat[a superior piece of film imho]and the crow [which is actually darker]. the conception of the idea that some people just want to watch the world burn was done in the crow which came out 5 years after burtons original batman feature.

  • The only reason you're even comparing it to The Crow is because of Ledger's makeup. The themes of the two films aren't similar - at all.

  • i wasn't comparing the themes of the two films in question at all. i was merely trying to explain that stylistically they ARE very similar. lees make up in the crow didn't even cross my mind. but hey i think my point is more valid now than it ever was as you yourself noticed the similarity in the make up!?

  • film of the year no doubt

  • "can't see TDK NOT getting a nomination for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor. If it doesn't, something is very wrong with Hollywood."

    thats enough said!!! go TDK

  • I can't see TDK NOT getting a nomination for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor. If it doesn't, something is very wrong with Hollywood.

  • The best film this year, hands down.

  • a masterpiece; this emotionally driven and suspenseful crime epic is dark and certifiably complex, but not entirely cynical. transcending its often derided genre, the dark knight succeeds not only as a powerful and moving multifaceted motion picture, but also as a testament to the relevancy of an american icon (and his greatest villain) in today's world.

  • talk about pretentious over analysis. it sounds like your trying to justify the genius of a piece of trite modern art!

  • pretentious, no. but yes, i am trying to justify the genius i see behind the film.

  • fair enough. each to their own.

  • This was indeed the best film of 2008 and the best Batman film ever. :)

  • Awesome. Gonna' spread this around.

  • Best Movie I Have Ever Seen

    Oscar For The Knight!

  • I luv this movie, so sad, poor Harvey :(

  • And on a side note - you said you gave the movie an 8/10 - which is actually pretty good! So I don't get why you're picking on all these little things. No film is ever perfect.

  • I have a poster of the film and I paid to go and see it twice - once in IMAX. I followed the film campaign since its beginning. I'll be buying the DVD when it's released. I criticise it... because no-one else will.

    Now, how about we campaign for David Fincher to direct the third? Anyone? No? Have you seen Se7en!?

  • if nolan didn't want to come back, i think fincher would definitely be a great choice for directing the third movie .

  • You're coming across as a little bitter.

    50% of Heath possibly getting the Oscar is because he's dead? That's NOT true. He'll get the Oscar because he DESERVES it. That performance was absolutely mind blowing!

    I've seen a lot of Heath's films - he was okay in a few, some of them he was good, some of them he was terrific (Brokeback, Candy, Monster's Ball). TDK was one of the terrific ones he did. He is not recognisable as HL in TDK.

    He'll get it because he deserves it!

  • I agree that Ledger's performance was convincing and powerful - probably the best part of the movie. But his death definitely gives him a big, big advantage and he'd never get an Oscar if he wasn't dead. Also, Maggie G's face is in the same movie and that makes him look great by comparison.

    Also, it's the make-up and the hair that make him unrecognisable. In the ten seconds you see of him w/o make-up I was like, "Yup, Heath Ledger alright."

  • Jeez, who rocked your boat. NO movie is perfect. I don't think TDK is perfect. All movies have little flaws.

    As for the dead guy comments, there's no need for that. Heath WILL get that Oscar, even if the film does not.

  • I'm not complaining that it's not perfect, I'm complaining because it's not nearly as good as people say it is. And yes, Heath will get the Oscar. At least 50% of why that is is because he's dead. That's also responsible for 20% of TDK's metacritic score and 50% of its takings.

    Compare it to say, No Country For Old Men or Changeling and you quickly realise how worthy it is for an Oscar.

    Now, four thumbs down for the last comment. I reckon maybe twenty for this. More perhaps.

  • Sorry, that should be oddities in structure, not "too much structural integrity". Though that does bring us to how thoroughly conventional it can be when it really doesn't need to be.

  • Congratulations on a compelling video. I think it makes a strong case for TDK's nomination.

  • I'm with this campaign with no doubt. The Dark Knight is the best Batman movie ever made and is the best moviw os my life!

  • Great video, you have some talent.

  • Count me in (great video). The first movie I have ever seen twice at the cinema. As a lifelong Batman fan it was everything I wanted and more. I hope The Dark Knight is racks 'em up (!) at the Oscars as it deserves to be for the acting (Heath Ledger RIP) and the final product...The Dark Knight, Best Picture.

  • Favorited, and embedding.

    TDK for a clean sweep. :D

  • I'm behind this campaign 100%. It was the greatest film of my life.

    TDK for Best Picture.

  • TDK For best picture of the decade

  • TDK for best picture of the century.

  • lets just agree its the best movie ever.

  • amen! The Dark Knight for best picture! favorited and shared. BRILLIANT and i agree 100000000%

    heath for best actor, as well. his performance was awesome.

  • Behind this campaign 100%. Video favourited.

  • The Dark Knight for Best Picture!
