i understand also that nolan did very good for superhero movies, "greatness" is a different standard to reach. though i liked avengers more because it didn't take itself so seriously and was very funny.
me i like this little movie from the 90s called "big night." it's an indie flick about food, and i like food a lot, and i've cooked since long before it was fashionable. but while i'm super-fond of the thing, and i really like the actors, and i love the whole thing, i can't in good conscience claim it's a great movie because... it's just not a great movie or the best of anything.
so hm yeah. taken out of the superhero context i can't see how it would be a "great" movie or why. it was the best of the three and it wasn't bad and had great technological fireworks but from there to great movie caliber it's a big leap.
this is not to say that you can't or shouldn't like it. just saying that it's very hard to universalize your particular.

Well, Roger Ebert (RIP) disagreed. Also it won an Oscar. Also, it not being nominated for a best picture Oscar was the reason the Academy re-assessed its rules for BP nominees. Also it's on all kind of list and stuff.
You think I like it because I like superhero movies, but I don't really like superhero movies that much. Sure, some are cool, but only one is truly a great movie, and that's Dark Knight.
Also it's not a superhero movie.
I'm actually really hard on superhero movies because I like comic books. So if anything, the fact that I think Dark Knight is legit great should work in its favor.
