This is the internet, where no one takes responsibility for what they say. Those asshats aren’t really that passionate about the movie. They’re just a bit desensitized and usually go to extremes to get the point across.

This is the only real comparison to W that holds any water.

It is really disappointing to see fanboys channeling their energy into attacking the film’s detractors rather than something more positive.

The role of a critic is to say it how he or she sees a work, not to pander to the audience. If a critic does not enjoy a piece then they should not be discouraged from saying so, no matter how big the film is.

There are sadly some people out there who seem to believe that you can be as hurtful or rude as you like on the internet because their victim cannot identify them.

Is it just me, or is DARK KNIGHT the one film that doesn’t need anyone coming to its defense? I mean with a bajillion positive reviews, what’s actual damage can a few naysayers actually do? What, maybe TWO people who would have normally paid to see it won’t now? I mean how much money does this film freakin’ need? Come on, I mean let’s get creative and defend The Love Guru! Now that’s fighting the good fight.

Give it another couple of months and those creepy fanboy kids will have moved on to something else…hopefully.

Wow, those guys need to lay off the koolaid, or whatever sugary product is making them so mental.

That said, why the swipe at Warners, as though they’d be glad that fans are making death threats? It’s kind of a cheap conclusion to a post that already had its villains.

I understand now how people who didn’t like No Country For Old Men that much last year felt.

Young boys who get incredibly excited about a man in a
tight plastic suit getting deeply involved with a man
wearing make up AND then get incredibly upset when a
film reviewer does not like a COMIC BOOK MOVIE
are idiots. Hopefully they will make & post
some “don’t pick on my hero Batman” videos on
myspace or facebook & we’ll be able to
laugh at them for decades.

Wow. I don’t know who I’d feel more afraid of my life around: A group of fans waiting outside a repeat screening of The Dark Knight or a group of picketers outside an abortion clinic.
