Good but not great

Batman Begins was more "fun", but then again we'd been warned to expect something even darker this time around. And The Dark Knight certainly delivers on darkness! And Heath Ledger's Joker was something else--not sure what, but definitely unique. All cast and performances were excellent. I'm a big Christian Bale fan, and he remains a superb Batman/Bruce Wayne. And Maggie Gyllenhaal is a big improvement over Katie Holmes. But all in all, I think Chris Nolan tried to cram too much into one movie--too many villains and too many plot lines that could have been better developed in perhaps 2 movies. By the end it just felt incoherent and confusing. It left me feeling the need to see it again so I could figure out what was happening, especially in some of the action sequences--particularly in the Hong Kong skyscraper and the last one involving cell phones and sonar. I'm not turned off the franchise, not if Nolan and Bale are involved in future installments, but as I indicated at the beginning, my reaction to Batman Begins was "WOW!!!", and after this it was "Huh? What just happened?".
Yes, I recommend this movie.
