My verdict on The Dark Knight: Good but not great. Got sick of Christian Bale’s Bat-growl very quickly, Heath Ledger had his moments but spent way too much time chewing almost as much scenery as Jack Nicholson did, and there a few too many leaps in logic needed to believe in this story. However, Aaron Eckhart was terrific, the action was mind-blowing, and the ending was a fascinating surprise I didn’t expect. I recommend seeing it, but do not buy into all the hype surrounding it.
