Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Since its establishment in 1990, the Internet Movie Database (IMDA for short) has become the most direct platform for movie audiences to comment on big screen works because of its rich and complete content and the strong support of movie fans. Compared with the Oscar and the Golden Globe Awards, the authoritativeness of the book is even worse, and it can be called a masterpiece of netizens' opinions.

The top 250 movies list in IMDA is the most eye-catching existence in the database. Although there are differences in personal aesthetic views on any list, some people also rank all IMDA user scores. The top 250 list came out with disdain, but it is undeniable that this website, which has more than 2 million works and 4.5 million characters, relies on the foundation of hundreds of millions of netizens around the world. It is still the choice of the masses, and the classics are selected after the test of time and the masses.

Like the movie rankings, IMDA also has a list of characters. On this list, Evan Bell has been on the top since he became the champion with "Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl" in 2003. However, in 2004, Evan Bell occupied the position of the year-end champion for the first time. After that, this position has never been shaken. So far, Evan Bell is the best rated person on IMDA. This honor is the only one in the world, and it can also be seen that Evan Bell has a detached position in the hearts of the audience today.

As for the movie rankings, the top three on the IMDA 250 list are "The Shawshank Redemption" in 1994, "The Godfather" in 1972, and "The Godfather 2" in 1994. It is also the only three works on IMDA with a score of more than 9. The dominance of the top three has continued for many years, and no work has ever shaken the status of the king of the three!

Not long ago, "Robot Wall-E" was close to the top three, but it was only close. After three weeks of scoring, the IMDA score of "Robot Wall-E" has also dropped to 8.9 for the time being. Ranked eighth, it seems that with the passage of time, the ranking of "Robot Wall-E" may decline, but it is still an absolute masterpiece.

And this time, after the release of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", within three days, it surpassed countless masterpieces in film history with an amazing score of 9.5, and reached the top of the IMDA Movie 250 list. It is the first time since the beginning of the 21st century, and it is also the first time that "The Shawshank Redemption" has been squeezed from the throne of the king!

Although "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" will still have to stand the test of events after that, it should be known that only the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy has persisted in the top 20 works after the 21st century on the IMDA list. Among all Bell's works, the strongest performance is "perfume", which stayed at the twenty-third position. The passage of time and the increase in comments are the biggest test of whether a film can become a classic.

But even so, "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" also made history and became the new king on the IMDA list, and the comprehensive score of 9.5 is the average score of more than 20,000 netizens, far exceeding the previous The champion "The Shawshank Redemption" had an average score of 9.2 -- of course, this is the average score of more than 940,000 netizens.

With the power of reaching the top of IMDA, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 94%, and the comprehensive media score is as high as 92 points. "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" can be said to have been realized. A full sweep of the monument.

Among them, the comprehensive score of the media is not only second only to the existence of "Robot Wall-E" among all the works currently released this year, but also the well-deserved first place in the live-action movie!

Look at the comments of the media, "The story with the confrontation between Gotham the Joker and the Patronus Batman as the main line, after removing the narrative packaging, what appears in front of people is a difficult and contradictory philosophical proposition: Do people really need heroes? After the hero is created, is it to worship, support and save us, or let us attack, slander, use and then get rid of it?”, “This is more than an excellent comic book adaptation movie! A dark, complex, exquisite, unforgettable and chilling crime epic!", "The harmony of artistry and entertainment is more perfect than the fusion of computer effects and real shooting in the film, and it is rare to hang the 'summer blockbuster' sign The Shakespeare Tragedy...

"High open and high walk, full of emotion, sharp and ruthless and tangled, majestic and nuanced", "super-first-class film technology, avoid chasing amazing directors who can completely control them, outstanding screenwriters, and unspeakable great filmmakers. Actors", "The process of the plot unfolding is also an academic research process that mocks the simple and crude punishment for evil and promotes good, and provides a new development direction for such films", "With Batman's Christian Bale and Double Faced" Led by Aaron Eckhart, who played The Human, and led by Evan Bell, who played the Joker, gave an impeccable and superb performance.”  …

"The performance that caused the topic of course came from Evan Bell, who played The Joker. Usually we say being possessed generally refers to the starring role of a biopic, but today Evan, with his naturally shocking cunning, sinister and evil acting skills, showed what is 'being virtualized'. "Character possession'!", "Evan Bell's interpretation goes from the outside to the inside, showing the ugliness, horror, madness, and sorrow of a soul who is addicted to 'sin' and is terribly ill. The evil is so three-dimensional. And multi-level, enough to keep the real messengers of **** away", "When you see Evan Bell in an evil spirit, you can understand why he is regarded as one of the most outstanding actors of our time. He sings with his soul, as if he came out Exciting and gorgeous opera"...

From director Christopher Nolan, to screenwriters Johnson Nolan, David S-Goyer, to actor Evan Bell and others, the whole film has been wildly praised by the media in all aspects.

Among them, there was a shocking remark about the clown played by Evan Bell, "Leonardo has dedicated Daniel Prevey, who is greater than the great, to all of us, and Evan Bell has dedicated himself to all of us. Daniel Prevey and another Joker who transcended the great being."

This comment from the "Cinema Manual" is the most dazzling existence among all the comments.

Amid such crazy accolades, both "Wall-E-Robot" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" have become the strongest candidates for the Oscar for best picture, which is beyond everyone's expectations. "Robot Wall-E" is a cartoon.

Michael Caine's words lingered in people's ears for a long time again.

With such monstrous praise, "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight" also detonated the box office volcano that had been brewing for a long time in the North American summer vacation.
