The Dark Knight... THE BEST EVER???



I think the internet movie database is losing control of the way the votes are registered on their site... or maybe then, their not losing control, but simply they should implement a system, resembling the one wikipedia uses, where fans can affect the ratings, but they should also have a group of experts who have their own ranking....

YES, The Dark Knight is a great film, YES its one of the greatest films ever, YES its surrounded by great acting roles and great directing... But I truly DO NOT believe it should be on top of the Godfather 1 and 2, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Schindler's List, Star Wars and Casablanca... however, this again is a product of my own opinion, but I do not think it is the best film ever... If I had my word I would say, yes its top 10 quality, maybe even top 5, but now after 146,000 votes and counting, its still atop all of those films and its really quite amazing for me...



Then again, maybe all of these votes come from comic book addicts, or maybe this votes are affected because people have voted directly after coming from the movies, I guess, well just have to wait a bit more and see if The Dark Knight is truly number 1 after all...

One of the most important rules in statistics is the deviation towards the mean.

If you notice in the Rankings, Batman has 9.3 rating, 2 points above the second place. That Two points is the difference between the 2nd and the 7th place, (HUGE difference) so it has a very, very bad ratio.

That principle applied at other part of the list repeats itself only in a logarithmic way... Number 15 has a difference of 2 points with number 45, and 45 has a diference of 2 points to #136

We'll just wait and let the history put it in it's correct place.

Maybe i should do a whole blog post of this comment... HAHA
