I really can't understand why everyone is calling this things like "the best movie ever" "the best comic book movie ever" etc...

This movie was mediocre. I can only figure that people are giving rave reviews because of Heath Ledger's untimely death. It's the same thing that happened when Kurt Kobain died. While I agree that it is tragic that Ledger passed away, that doesn't make him the greatest actor of all time. Nor does it make his performance in this movie better than it was. Ledger's Joker was O.K. I found his mannerisms distracting and annoying. He didn't bring all this dimension to the character like everyone is saying because the Joker is a one-dimensional villain. I don't really understand what's so exciting about it, or deep, or dark, or revolutionary.

Christian Bale's weird voice thing was ridiculous, distracting, and obnoxious.

The plot was honestly, kind of boring. My boyfriend fell asleep and he is a total comic book nerd.

The Dark Knight has a 9.5 out of 10 rating on IMDb. Sin City has an 8.4 out of 10. That's completely insane. Sin City was a phenomenal comic book movie. The Dark Knight is not even worth seeing in the theater.

Don't let all the hype fool you. Think for yourself and form your own opinion.
