OK - But not what hyped

The Dark Knight did not live up to all the hype. While Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker was brilliant, the movie seemed to drag out and the story-line seemed vague. Additionally, even though the story was told by the same director and producer, there was less reliance on special effects and more on reality in the props and portrayals of the city, which was a fundamental change in the backdrop and departure from the previous film.
As for concerns regarding the "darkness" of Heath Ledger's role, I did not find it any darker than the roles we have all seen in horror movies; and I find it hard to believe that Heath went over the edge because of this role. Having said that, I would put Heath's portrayal of Joker in the league of Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lector.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
