Dark Knight discussion

I saw the Dark Knight at the midnight premier at the Cinerama. I have thoughts, and I would like to hear yours. We got there 2 hours early and the line was already all the way down the block. Its the longest line I have ever waited in for a movie. I cant decide if it was good that people were walking along giving away free Monster energy drinks. They tasted like melted then super-cooled sweet tarts.

Impressions

JASON: I think it was good, not great. Not as good as Iron Man; didnt live up to the hype. Definitely worth seeing and I will buy it.

Spoilers

JASON: I love Christian Bale in this role. Or, I did in Batman Begins. He felt flat in this movie. It seemed more of a Joker movie than a Batman one. This movie had so many excellent parts but that didnt add up to an excellent whole. There was nothing glaring wrong with it, but it didnt jump out and scream 'awesome'. It was excruciatingly long. The plot and twists, though believable, were not particularly interesting or good. It looked excellent and the action was very good.
