I know it's called the "Dark Knight," but this movie really was beyond dark. It was very different from "Batman Begins" in terms of tonality and just the sheer level of violence. A lot of people will like it just for this reason, but to me it was a turn-off. I like action, and the writing was good, but the images became increasingly disturbing, to where I almost didn't want to look at them. It's getting to the point where people are impossible to shock, and even superhero movies are pushing the envelope in an effort to scare and disturb. Not my cup of tea.
