In scenes that Joker was not in, the movie was slow and boring. Movie has absolutely no replay value to me. I've seen twice and I don't think i wouldever watch again.
So The Dark Knight Wasn't Nominated For Best Picture...............

Don't gte me wrong. Ledger no doubt deserved a nod, but the movie as a whole? Naw.
Hell, Ironman was a better movie.

How was Curious Case not nominated? Anyway I think Dark Knight should have been as well. I mean didn't No Country for old men win last year? It was betterthan that. I'll admit there were some things that could have been done better in the movie. But I can't think of another movie after a first viewing Ithought
.
I remember during the first viewing thinking wow all hope is lost for this town, nothing can be done about the joker. Movie was so dark and so crazy.

Slumdog Millionaire and Milk where both great. I'll be happy if either win. It doesnt matter how much money a movie brings in, look at Will Smith he bringsin the most money of any actor yet he has never won an Oscar... Leo and Kate's performance in Revolutionary Road also deserve commendation.

Movie was overrated. It was good but nowhere near Oscar worthy.

Dark Knight was definitely a great movie, but I really think it was overrated. I only watched it once, and on DVD. I probably need another watch.
I never watched the other movies so I couldn't judge the other ones.

I wasn't expecting it, but it did deserve the nod IMO. Regardless of what anyone says, its easily my favorite picture from last year [and in years for amatter of fact]. I've never felt the need to watch a movie over an over again like this one. Its not about the hype and fame it received, its just THATgood. Heath's performances was mesmerizing, one of the best I've ever seen and probably my favorite of them all. Bale is by far the greatest Batmanthus far and Aaron Echkhart was powerful as Harvey Dent. The directing, acting, editing, costume designs, writing, sounds, special effects, and music was allvery overwhelming. Everyone worked at their best and it came together so well.
As for the Oscars, they were predictable except for a few surprises and disappointments. The Reader received way too much credit and I was hoping Blanchettreceived a nod.
EDIT: I forgot to add the Leonardo not receiving a nod is one of the biggest disappointment.

Give me some reasons why you thought the movie "sucked"...
never said it "sucked". I said Batman Begins was a better movie and I thought Iron Man was a better movie. This whole discussion is about TDK notbeing nominated for best picture. IMO, the academy got it right.
TDK was a good movie, but thought it moved way to slow and it was way too long.
I was far more impressed with Batman Begins when it came out.

I am disappointed The Dark Knight could not get a nomination for Best Picture, simply because of what it has done as far as redefining an entire genre of movie(Superhero) and the overall quality and commercial success of it. Before Dark Knight, Superhero movies were given a pass for believability and quality ofacting and script. Post Dark Knight, the same old Spiderman/Incredible Hulk crap WILL NOT be acceptable. The pressure is on now for studios to make not onlygood Superhero movies, but good movies, period.

Nice, Heath got nominated huh? What a final performance...
What a load of crap. The Dark Knight EASILY deserved at least a nomination for best picture.
These blow hards nominate movies that make 8 bucks in the movie theaters and TDK makes 500+ million and doesn't deserve consideration?
That's just stupid. But, I suppose I expected it, they are the same way every year no matter what they stay with movies no one has watched.

I honestly think it shoulda been nominated, not just based on our own opinion, but based on the reviews of critics, as well. I mean, are you serious? 94%rating on Rotten Tomatoes...

Really?? Batman Begins was good, but it moved pretty slow, same with Iron Man
Yes The Dark Knight was really long... but to me and most people I've talked to it didn't go by slow at all, there was so much going on it did not feellike 2 and a half hours
