Who said I was using the general population as an authoritative source of film critique?

"regarded by many as the greatest "action" movie of all time" means just what it says. I never claimed nor even implied that the view was authoritative simply because it was widely held.




'regarded by many as' is pretty much the living, breathing definition of 'authority as implied by popularity'.


You stated explicitly that you thought it was a quality film due to its wide popularity.

(As an aside the article itself never criticizes Dark Knight for being poor only for being formulaic).
