the movie was OK..i found it boring when the joker was not on screen. The fight scenes with batman were very boring and forgettable. I have been reading comics since i was a kid (now 27) and i don't really like any of the batman movies that have been made. Nolan is a awesome director but i don't think he should be wasting his talents directing 2 and 1/2 hour movies about a man in a bat suit. I found batman begins so boring i have not ever really watched it from beginning to end in one sitting. I was stoked for the dark knight to see ledger as the joker but other than that the movie was LAME. i had enough of the movie after 90 minutes but it just kept going. i don't really care if it everyones favorite movie because everyone liked TRANSFORMERS and that movie was a joke. I have seen almost everything this summer and i have been disappointed after almost every show. Now don't get me wrong..THE DARK KNIGHT is a well made movie and awesome but just not for me. Brian Singer kind of made the same mistake with superman returns..going for too much story and not enough CHEAP COMIC VIOLENCE and ACTION. I member how happy i was after leaving the theater after seeing X2 now comparing to how happy i was leaving the theater after the Dark Knight was nothing like that. Just before i end my OPINION i just wanted to say i would rather watch the directors cut of daredevil that watch THE DARK KNIGHT..ha ha
