After reading numerous reviews on IMDb and other websites, and also finding out that the movie got the top position in the IMDb Top 250, I expected to see something really special when I got to the cinema. However, all my expectations faded away throughout the 2 and half hours of "Dark Knight".

Probably, the only outstanding performance is Heath Ledger, whose character is for sure the most charismatic guy of the story. On contrary, Batman looks cold and boring. The pace of the movie is a bit too chill down and relaxed in the beginning with all the action starting after 1/3 of the "Dark Knight". Story is rather good and often unpredictable. However, there are many illogical situations so much typical for blockbusters. For instance, at the end, why should Batman confess that he killed several good guys, if it would have been much easier to tell everybody that Joker did all that? Movie is full simplistic, naive assumptions about human behaviour in different situations.

In sum, it's not a bad movie, probably it's worth to watch it once, but I really don't understand how could it get such reviews and rankings.
