If The Dark Knight were one hour shorter it might have been interesting but at 2 1/2 it is repetitive and boring. The plot becomes confused and hard to follow and the performances start to wear as thin as Heath Ledger's clown face. There is ultimately something wrong with a film that produces merely yawns when it should be wows! I saw it at a NYC 42nd St theater that was full of teenagers and believe me, they weren't enthralled.
