I've watched this film about 3 times, and to be frank. I never saw what the fuss was about this film. Well filmed, great cinematography, but just like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises, it fell flat on its face. All films in Nolan's Batman trilogy have average plots. Sorry. Sure, Heath Ledger this Heath Ledger that, but let's be honest if he was still alive, this would have been just another 6.5 meh film. Aaron Eckhart's role as Mayor of Gotham was the role that really mattered in this story, and provided some depth. Anyway, watch it once, so you can go "ah" and forget about it really.
