I'm sorry, but while i consider The Dark Knight one of the best movies in recent years, it is in no way better than MGS4. Actually i personally find the story behind MGS4 more interesting and much more elaborate, and the delivery, combining basically every storytelling medium known to man, from manga to theater and film, much more exotic and overall more entertaining. Both have chessyness, which is a very daring tehnique that succesfully helps in creating contrast in both cases, both have melodrama, both succed in creating believable contexts, both concentrate on the characters and their motives, both deliver very strong messages, both have sublime action scenes and both are targeted to the more intelligent of the viewers/gamers while having enough content to satisfy at some level any kind of IQ. Beeing a game, not bound by the two - three hours time limit of a motion picture, MGS4 has the luxury of not rushing things and unfold in a slower more passive manner, more similar to a play or mini-series rather than a movie. But make no mistake, once things start moving, MGS4 is every bit as good as the best Hollywood has to offer. But regardless of the quality of a product, there will always be unsatisfied customers. There are thousands of people that rated The Dark Knight 1/10 as there are thousands that rated Prestige or Memento or Matrix abysmal scores. Above a certain level of quality, it's really all about opinions and personal preferences. |
Those things don't make a good movie first of all. Second of all MGS4 does not equire ANY IQ to be enjoyed, from my experiences. I felt MGS4 was a mediocre movie with some REALLY good gameplay for intermissions.
Also, Dark Knight does not deserve to be called better than some movies, far from it actually.
