Talk:The Dark Knight

Crime Thriller??

Isn't it an action film? 201.43.152.100 (talk) 18:30, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Dark Knight has been overthrown by "Avatar", and has dropped to 5th place of films that have earned more than $1 billion (worldwide)

Someone has to reword this line: "It is also the fourth highest grossing film worldwide, and only the fourth film to earn more than $1 billion, worldwide." http://www.hollywood.com/boxoffice —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.52.55 (talk) 00:13, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

The whole section should be rewriten.

IMDb (again)

Per Wikipedia:MOSFILM#Critical_response... we avoid IMDb ratings/rankings as their prone to systematic skew. We've gone thru the issue:

• Talk:The_Dark_Knight_(film)/Archive_10#IMDB
• Talk:The_Dark_Knight_(film)/Archive_10#this_is_bs.2C_imdb_should_be_included
• Talk:The_Dark_Knight_(film)/Archive_10#CRITICAL_RECEPTION_has_to_include_IMBD (this is the a lengthy discussion against said ratings/rankings)

User:Darrenhusted argues that the ratings are different from the rankings; but at the end of the day... said rankings are derived from the ratings. (i.e., you can't be ranked #1 on IMDb with a 2.3 rating) Also, all past discussions above have mentioned both rankings and rating interchangeably. The film's critical legacy is already well-documened sans IMDb... so their inclusion is also superfluous at best. --Madchester (talk) 20:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Putting Blu-Ray ranking from other country

Found some data on how much the movie made in Japan for Blu-Ray discs. Is it okay to add it here?

Here's the link BTW. [1] Ominae (talk) 23:27, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Fix/rewrite the negative reception part

I have an issue with the part mentioned above, the article says "A minority of reviewers expressed views that the film might be vastly overrated and subjected to "incredible, ridiculous amount of hype"...". It kind of sounds like that minority is mediocre or something like that. I personally didn't like the film at all and also believe it was only successful because of Ledger's "tragic" death, but if you're wondering, nope, I'm not trolling and this is not part of the WP:IDONTLIKEIT thingy. I just believe it can/should be changed to something like "Despite all the praise it received, some reviewers/critics expressed..." or whatever thing that doesn't make it look like people who didn't like it are weird. --Exrain (talk) 02:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

I removed the paragraph in question. The sources used to cite the various viewpoints were unreliable. Erik (talk) 22:53, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Featured article

I think this article should be featured but don't know how to nominate, could anyone do that? I think it is very well redacted. Exrain (talk) 22:17, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome to nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates, but be prepared to possibly spend a lot of time on the article for it reach FA status.  :) —Mike Allen 22:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

It's been done (I think). Exrain (talk) 00:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Typically you only nominate something for FAC if either you are the main writer of the article, or you've consulted with the main writers, gotten their permission, and gotten their assurance that they'll work on the article during FAC. A FAC is a lot of work (you have to respond do, and deal with, a lot of peoples' comments and suggestions); you can't just nominate it and sit back, and you can't really do the FAC if you're not very familiar with the text. rʨanaɢ (talk) 01:30, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion

Why not change the genre into crime action or action crime instead of crime thriller? since the movie considered more action than thriller. That's just a suggestion, 201.42.212.103 (talk) 03:26, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
