I don't know about Watchmen, but nearly every movie is better than the Dark Knight.
Book it.
Gtown has called it.
Therefore it has been decreed from now and forever.

The Dark Knight was good... overhyped no doubt, but a good movie I thought
It depends.
If Snyder strayed too much from the comics, then no.
If he stayed true to the comics, then it could very well be.
All those previews look lame as .
The Dark Knight sucks, and that from the movie is ing ugly. ANY move can be better than TDK. That piece of was so overrated.
TDK didn't just suck; it was a complete ing fraud. A horribly directed blockbuster trying to pose as a philosophical work and failing miserably in that too obvious affectation. Almost no redeeming quality, merit or value whatsoever.
Funny how TDK haters have to keep convincing themselves of how much they hate the movie by repeating the exact same over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
Yeah we get it, you hated a movie that 95% of America loved. Congratulations on being such independent thinkers. Now shut the up.
Alright, mono, TDK didn't suck, but it definitely merited unnecessary praise. Was it good? Yeah. Great? Not even close. I actually paused the movie in the middle of the day cause it kind of bored me, and watched it later that night.

Dark Knight' mob attacks defenseless film critic
Not that it matters of course, when it comes to a pop-culture tsunami like "The Dark Knight," but so far most of America's much-maligned film critics have embraced the Christopher Nolan-directed film, which is due to set all sorts of obscure box-office records this weekend. (Is there, for example, a record for biggest July opening during a presidential campaign year?) But there's always a skunk at every wedding. When it comes to "Dark Knight" fans, the skunk is New York magazine critic David Edelstein, who had the temerity to slag off the new Batman film, calling it "noisy, jumbled and sadistic."
And that was just the beginning: Edelstein hooted at the action scenes ("spectacularly incoherent"), the director ("Nolan appears to have no clue how to stage or shoot action") and the movie in general ("it's all fits and starts, fitfully suspenseful, fitfully scary... with jolts of brutality to keep you revved up"). "Dark Knight" loyalists did not take this lying down. Edelstein has been bombarded with so much e-mail abuse since his review posted that he felt obligated to respond to the vitriol. (The New Yorker's David Denby didn't like the movie much either, but he's somehow escaped being tarred and feathered by the angry mob, perhaps because everyone was more enraged by the Obama cartoon on the cover of this week's magazine.)
I'm not going to get in the middle of this maelstrom, since sadly, I'm such a cultural slacker that I haven't seen the movie yet. But I feel a pang of sympathy for Edelstein, who notes that the Batman fanboys seem to want to have it both ways--calling him a snob for taking the movie seriously, then mocking his pretentiousness for offering more than a "Wow!" as a critical response. The ranting and name-calling all takes us back to the primal question of today's moviegoing age: Do critics still matter?
You should read Edelstein's entire response, but here, in a nuts , is his argument, which is worth pondering:
"There has been a lot of chatter in the last few years that criticism is a dying profession, having been supplanted by the democratic voices of the Web. Not to get all Lee Siegel on you, but the Internet has a mob mentality that can overwhelm serious criticism. There is superb writing in blogs and discussion groups ... but there are also thousands of semi-literate tirades that actually reinforce the Hollywood status quo, that say: 'If you do not like "The Dark Knight,'" you should be fired because you do not speak for the people.' Well, the people don't need to be spoken for. And a critic's job is not only to steer you to movies you might not have heard of or that died at the box-office. It's also to bring a different, much-needed perspective on blockbusters like 'The Dark Knight.' "
LOL, it wasn't that bad.
You just despise it because Batman pulled a Bush.
No I don't. Though I thought that was probably the worst shot action scene in the history of film.
Nothing beats Dark Knight!
Nothing !!!!!
Instead of just posting that it sucks, and posting why other people thought it sucked, why don't you tell us why it sucked.
Tell us what was wrong with the movie.
Dark Knight was horribly overrated. I saw the movie and was satisfied but not overly impressed.
I just hate people who get erect over the thought of the movie....its not that good.
Something doesnt have to be wrong with a movie for it to be overrated. It just doesnt have to be "Great".
Yes, It was that good.
Dark Knight was no better than SpiderMan....please.
Yes it was.
Granted, I'll give you that.
But, that's not what he said.
There's a difference between saying that it was overrated and that it sucked and was horrible.
+1
we'll see. TDK is still one of my favorite movies.
TDK was good because of heath ledger, the storyline and the acting (except heath and caine) were average.

The Joker was almost a better movie character than Tyler Durden, which means it was pretty great.
People saying TDK sucked without saying why are re ed gots like ballijuana.
