sure is. the blue ray vers is sick

Blu-Ray rip is incredible, but I’m still going to buy retail. No reason to completely pirate this one, folks.

Dark Knight sucked..how can you even watch that? too long and too choppy..could not understand what was going on, and i saw all the other movies..really disappointed

5 Nov 24, 2008 at 12:38 by Norway FTW!

Dark Knight – ok, i guess.. Won’t watch it again.
Tropic Thunder – not funny
Step Brothers – funny as hell!

Dark Night was amazing at the IMAX cinema I saw it at!

I have now downloaded some version, but doubt it will be as cool…

I think “The Dark Knight” was a good film, best batman film yet.

WALL-E was good also

Stop watching those hollywood turds !

Are you happy to be such cinema illiterates ?

Do you have no pride ?

Dark Knight seemed a bit watered down to me, was kinda hoping for a bit more from the joker, will probably win best picture though as cinematography was great.

10 Nov 24, 2008 at 14:43 by Fuckers

The Dark Knight sucked.

11 Nov 24, 2008 at 15:11 by bleh

call me crazy but i didnt think the dark knight was all that awesome.. defenintly wouldn’t pay for it.. just kinda seemed like more hollywood crap.

although the joker did make the movie.

12 Nov 24, 2008 at 15:11 by ju

loved the dark knight. im driving that bandwagon, fucking sick movie. seen it about 11 times lol. sumthing to chuck on when u cant sleep. wall-e is shite tho. but i guess it is a kids movie

13 Nov 24, 2008 at 15:36 by umbraco

A bit surprised that “Tropic Thunder” gets 2.place. The movies was that good. Not surpriced that the top 4 movies on the list are action and thrillers.

14 Nov 24, 2008 at 16:01 by Tonny

tropic thunder were the best film on the list do i think and the funniest!!! :)……:)

number 1 to watch!

15 Nov 24, 2008 at 18:02 by bbgti

walle is the best!!!!
es lo mejor que grabaron en el 2008

Why is mininova still on maintenance about 60% of the time I request a page? It’s really annoying me.

17 Nov 24, 2008 at 20:28 by bad flick

full rubber freak sucks so hard – not even funny anymore – it doesnt even have anything to do with batman.
Typical hollywood bastardization.

“Dark Knight sucked..how can you even watch that? too long and too choppy..could not understand what was going on, and i saw all the other movies..really disappointed”

Too long? It is kind of long, but it’s still great.

20 Nov 24, 2008 at 21:51 by batfink

Dark Knight was good, but not as good as I expected…but with that hype it was never going to. Saw in the cinema.

Not as good as movie as Batman Begins IMO.

21 Nov 24, 2008 at 22:01 by Paulb

Traitor and Taken where pretty good.
Chocolate should be in that list

22 Nov 24, 2008 at 23:33 by Hammer

Wow, How did I know Black Knight was going to be at the top of the list!

Hey – so what was so disappointing about the movie? I am hoping to get to see it soon.

24 Nov 25, 2008 at 00:10 by Maranda Miller

I also did not find it as good.

Good to see that Stepbrothers is on there…its not actually worth paying to see.

27 Nov 25, 2008 at 00:27 by Dave Taylor

Glad to see I’m in good company on this one, the Dark Knight was 6/10 at best. I suppose if I was adolescent I would have appreciated it more (I guess it would suit 13/14 Y/O’s the most) but now I’m knocking on the door of 30 tastes have changed.

walmart sells divx compatible dvd players that handle every thing I have thrown at them.

the dark knight is the good ever movie ….the best….batman

30 Nov 25, 2008 at 20:15 by zarathustra

Agree with #20 (’batfink’) – Batman Begins was better, but still enjoyed TDK. Anyone saying it suxed must have been watching the Uwe Boll remake… :P

The trouble with the internets is that any time sombody sayd that they like something, there’ll _always_ be some wise-4rse that just _has_ to post something to the contrary…

32 Nov 25, 2008 at 23:40 by monaroman

gaz 1984 nero is good but convert x is the best way to go…easiest program to use. may seem too simple, but when u play with it you won’t find better…

33 Nov 26, 2008 at 01:01 by Anonymous

what out for JASSON STATHAMS Transporter 3……. Its a surely blockbuster hit move over Batman maniacs!?!?

34 Nov 26, 2008 at 11:56 by crash

use nero vision for movies , very good

35 Nov 26, 2008 at 13:31 by DaRk

it’s missing most of the Uwe Bowl’s movie in there

36 Nov 26, 2008 at 13:39 by AndyShitHot

I wasn’t sure what would be on the list but I was certain The Dark Knight would be number 1 :)

That was the most hyped movie of the last 5 years and didn’t dissapoint like so many do.

37 Nov 27, 2008 at 03:35 by zerocool

You all suck dick batman was the best

to “gaz 1984″:

Buy yourself a cheap DIVX DVD player, do a search on play.com or something. £50 is a good cheap price.

Then you can burn about 6 (or less) movies, as data files, onto a dvd and play them straight on the spangley new DVD player you just bought.

Nice.

Oh, and The Dark Knight is a proper hardcore film. Awesome set pieces and performances. And there’s no such thing as a Too Long Film so long as it’s a good film. No one says the Lord of the Rings are TOO long do they?

41 Nov 27, 2008 at 16:50 by Ali

To those of you who like tropic thunder, are you for real!!!

What’s in that movie worth watching? It is boredom manifested in a movie; I could not make myself laugh at any of its ridiculous scenes.

IMO, I wasted about 2 hours of my life on that bullshit.

42 Nov 29, 2008 at 00:49 by 6oo6

Just an average hollywood flick (not excellent, not bad neither); but who cares (especially after all the hype and its die-hard fans out there)

43 Nov 29, 2008 at 05:17 by Arnold

The dark night is definitely the best!

44 Nov 30, 2008 at 18:45 by Dark knight was great

Hey, you have a great blog here!

I found the movie Dark Knight one of the best. The best movie ever…. only sad that the real person (as the joker) has died in a accident (rest in peace)

Keep up the goodwork!
