Dark Knight was a complete bust for me, but my seatmates gave it a seven. The audience tried to get into it, but the film was shot in 'dark' mode (really low lighting through most of it); the two main characters spoke in hoarse whispers throughout and I missed a lot of the dialog, but that was actually a blessing, because the dialog was insipid. With no plot or character development, the only thing to hope for was cool action sequences. Keep hoping. Iron man & Hellboy both kicked its butt.
