Chapter 628: A Seriously Overrated Role

Stepping out of the screening hall, Stephen Carragher checked the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, but he couldn't walk fast because there were too many people in the theater!

The theater has nearly tripled the number of people who went to the movie last weekend night.

Stephen Carragher knew why. These people came to the theater to watch the "Dark Knight" that was hyped as a social hot spot, just like him.

Thinking of the movie he just watched, Stephen Carragher couldn't help shaking his head. Such a superficial superhero movie of justice and evil is really much worse than his favorite "The Godfather".

Shrugging, Stephen Carragher squeezed out of the theater and walked towards the apartment not far away.

Although in his eyes, this is Duke Rosenberg's superficial popcorn director's most profound film, it immediately pales in comparison to The Godfather.

"The Godfather" is the top movie on IMDB's TOP list!

In recent years, his favorite "The Godfather" has not encountered challenges. For example, Duke Rosenberg's "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" once occupied the first position, but time is the best tester , this film is no match for "The Godfather" after all, and gave up the first throne two years ago.

Pushing Duke Rosenberg and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King from the top of IMDB's TOP list has always been the pride of die-hard fans of The Godfather.

When he got home, washed up and got ready to go to bed, Stephen Carragher was still thinking about The Dark Knight, which wasn't much better, not bad, at least better than Duke Rosenberg's previous films. Movies with VFX as a selling point are much stronger...

In a daze, he fell asleep. The next day is Saturday, and I don’t have to go to work, and I don’t get up until nearly nine o’clock.

After a simple breakfast, Stephen Carragher sat in front of the computer, habitually logged into IMDB after turning it on, and clicked on the TOP250 ranking. The originally hazy eyes widened instantly.

"The Godfather" ranked second, which is not surprising. In the past, some new films were released, and they also briefly occupied the first position.

It's not surprising that "The Dark Knight" is ranked first now. After all, Duke Rosenberg has a large number of brain-damaged fans across the United States.

It's just the tenth at the back of "The Dark Knight" that makes Stephen Carragher feel extremely dazzling.

The film has been released for two days and has been rated by more than 50,000 users. Still a very good rating?

Stephen Carragher faintly felt a threat. This is something that IMDB has never seen before. It's incredible that a film can still reach 10 points in nearly two days of release. If it continues like this, I am afraid it will affect the ranking of "The Godfather".

Frowning and watching for a while, Stephen Carragher temporarily put his heart back into his stomach, and it might not take a few days. As the number of people watching "The Dark Knight" gradually increased, the ratings naturally dropped.

but. He still clicked on the relevant column of "The Dark Knight".

Ignoring the dazzling ten points, he turned to the comment column, and all that entered his eyes were the hymns of what he thought were the brainless fans.

"God can't explain..."

“Perfect. Not to be missed…”

"Can you give me twenty points..."

Seeing this, Stephen Carragher frowned even more. Originally, he thought that "The Dark Knight" was an ordinary film, but now he began to hate this film in his heart.

Especially the following comment made his disgust deeper.

"The Dark Knight's kingship has taken shape. It ranks first on the IMDB list with ten points. It seems that it will not change for a long time. Duke Rosenberg is the well-deserved box office king in Hollywood."

"In my opinion, the only person in Hollywood who can challenge Duke's commercial box office status is James Cameron, the former king of the world is preparing a new film, but it is said that his new film has investment from Duke. ...As for the other first- and second-tier directors, I think it's basically hopeless."

"Steven Spielberg is old, and the old man is very powerful, but it is difficult to cause a sensation again; David Fincher has not yet made a film that can prove himself with a double harvest of art and business; Ridley Scott It's true that the good works continue, but he has never been the king of the king; Brian Singer and Sam Raimi are not yet masters of creativity; Roland Emmerich now enjoys contributing bad movies. ; Jane Darabont and Martin Campbell on the sidelines all day; Brian de Palma at the end of the line; Martin Scorsese and Francis Coppola? No kidding…”

Seeing the last sentence, Stephen Carragher suddenly burst into flames in his heart. What is a joke? Francis Coppola is the director of the great "Godfather"!

Stephen Carragher slapped the computer desk heavily, and after dragging his mouse, he gave "The Dark Knight" an ultra-low score of one point. If it wasn't for the absence of relevant options, he would definitely give zero points!

It wasn't over yet, he clicked on the comment box and quickly tapped the keyboard with both hands.

"The Dark Knight is a grossly overrated work!"

Now Stephen Carragher's heart is full of malice towards "The Dark Knight".

"Let's just say that the most attractive character in this work, the Joker created by Heath Ledger, is overrated in The Dark Knight, mainly because this character is overrated."

"Aside from his acting skills, what kind of character is the clown in the movie? He is obviously a character with no weaknesses in the logic setting. The underworld can't find out his details, and the police don't know his methods. The logic is completely unreasonable, if you ignore this, then you can pursue the Joker without any flaws, he is otherworldly, he is all black, he is the top black in Gotham City, let all the villains in other movies All kinds of shame."

"No one knows who the clown is, what kind of past does he have, what he likes, what is he afraid of? No one can find out about these things, and logically it doesn't work at all. Because no one knows any information about him, then No one knows any of his weaknesses, he lacks everything, and his younger brother lingers when he calls, and a lot of dollars are burned. No matter what he wants to achieve in the end, at least he has whatever resources he wants, So he's the perfect villain, technically unbeatable."

"Therefore, the most fundamental reason for how clever the clown is, how fascinating his methods are, how sophisticated his psychological tactics are, is because he is such a person from the setting; he should be so perfect from the character setting, not just follow The plot development makes him so charming."

"If a person with such a setting is to be the protagonist and do good deeds, then he is Superman, or the perfect and flawless version of the light knight Harvey Dent in "The Dark Knight". The villain makes us feel amazing."

"In the end, did the clown succeed?"

"The Joker failed very thoroughly. The situation where the people of the two ships he carefully designed did not occur, so that he had to be in a hurry and wanted to detonate himself. This is the root of his failure, because it completely explains this The city itself has the DNA of rejecting the chaos he aspires to, and people's hearts are not as ugly as the Joker imagined."

"Secondly, many people think that the Joker has successfully corrupted Gotham City's bright knight Harvey Dent, think that this is his greatest success, and think that this move will bring the entire city to despair."

"Actually, people in this city don't care about Harvey Dante at all, because there is absolutely nothing in the movie that shows Harvey Dante being revered by the whole city, or the savior in people's minds. The so-called 'bright' Cavaliers' is just the wishful thinking of Bruce Wayne alone, and even Gordon doesn't pay much attention to it. Besides, Harvey Dent himself has a lot of show elements, and his dark side has already been reflected, but it's just that Batman let him Rein on the cliff."

"So the Joker's victory was just a blow to Batman's wishful thinking, not the victory he himself sought from the beginning."

"To sum up, the image of the clown is overrated, the victory of the clown is overrated, and the clown is the core of the whole movie. Therefore, this movie is OK, but it is not a work that can be far ahead of other movies. , it's simply not worth a ten-point rating and rewatching."

"I think the Joker's 'why.so. serious' is not to warn his opponent not to be too serious, but to tell the audience in front of the screen not to be too serious, because watching this movie must ignore the details, otherwise it will be everywhere It's a logical loophole, Duke Rosenberg exposed the shortcomings of his super weak narrative ability!"

After posting this comment, Stephen Carragher felt a little happier in his heart, as if his anger had been poured out. He believed that there would be many fans of "The Godfather" who were dissatisfied with "The Dark Knight" and would be as angry as him. Stand up and maintain the fairness and impartiality of the IMDB list.

Of course, what I heard about the IMDB Navy was automatically ignored by Stephen Carragher.

With the extension of the show time, a piece of survey data was also sent to Duke by Warner Bros. Just as he thought, the movie "The Dark Knight" was still rejected by some groups, even his own. There are also many people in the fan base who don't like the movie.

According to the data obtained from the survey, the people who are dissatisfied after watching "The Dark Knight" are not those fans of literature and art or those who like to think and research, but many superhero movie lovers.

There is a passage specially marked by CinemaScore, which undoubtedly represents the thoughts of this group.

"There are expectations for watching movies, especially commercial movies. The Dark Knight shattered all my expectations for superheroes. The death of the heroine Rachel alone makes me unbearable!" (To be continued ~^~)
