Not quite what I expected..

..but probably one of the best made movies I can recall seeing in the past decade. How Christian Bale's character embraces the role of the anti-hero from being known as a saviour is a transition I don't think anyone else could have done as smoothly and with grace as well as he did given the circumstance.
This movie showed once and for all that "good guys" aren't always what the world or the general public needs. Sometimes, there needs to be a figure that can be blamed for all its problems, to carry the worst of the world on his/her shoulders, and still, in some protaganistic way, be able to 'save the day' when all is said and done.
The choices of the masses aren't always correct, nor are they made with knowledge. This movie easily dissected the main flaws in what might be called a democratic system, as those that rely on the group as a whole to be able make the best decisions for themselves. This isn't always true, and as such, "The Dark Knight" was borne to carry the burden that society could not bear in hopes of leading them to a time they had yet only dreamed about.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
