Answer 1

I absolutely can't stand actors who trash other peoples movies because they are jealous. He does have the right to his own opinion but he did not need to use bad language to get his point across, that in my opinion is in poor taste. I don't think I will be seeing any of his movies any time soon.

PS. I really enjoyed and understood Dark Night and I'm in 8th grade so really there is no college edjucation needed.

Answer 2

I kind of agree with him. Dark Knight took a couple of viewings to completely understand; it was complicated

Answer 3

That's what it seemed like to me. Which is really stupid that he is jealous he made millions of dollars and re-launched his career. He's just being a whiny little punk because he thought he was the best and  then Dark Knight **** on him and ironman

Answer 4

That's a shame he said that.  He's been one of the better actors over the last several years, and now I don't have as much respect for him.  I mean "Iron Man"  was good, but "Dark Knight" is by far better and should get an oscar nod for Picture, and supporting actor.

Answer 5

i cannot say whether his distaste for the movie stems from jealousy or just not liking it -- what i can say is that negative comments about Dark Knight are not tolerated by anyone (as with every 'awesome record breaking blockbuster'.. Try saying something bad about Star Wars or Titanic or among some circles Lord of the Rings...

If one person has even one criticism about DK then that person is treated liked they're the biggest a**h*** on Earth... People don't have to like a movie everyone else likes, he's entitled to his opinion.... I haven't seen DK but would like to (first one was great, but this seems to be getting over hyped, that being said, i'll likely still love it anyway), either way, his opinion about DK will not change the way i feel about Iron Man or Dark Knight or any other flick.

by the way didn't Tropic Thunder knock Dark Knight out of first place?
