Definitely not a 5 Star Movie

from Chicago
Pros:
The special effects and action scenes were outstanding!

As a Chicago native it was great to see so many familiar landmarks incorporated into the movie and portrayed as Gotham.
Heath Ledger did a great job as the joker, but I'm not certain that his performance would be as "talked about" as it is, if it weren't for his untimely and unfortunate death.
Cons:
The plot/story line was extremely weak and rather slow at times.

Christian Bale's voice and manner of speech as Batman changed way too much throughout the movie and at times sounded ridiculous. Heath's Joker changed as well, but got better as the movie went on.
For as weak as Katie Homes' performance was as the Rachel character in the last movie Batman Begins, Maggie Gyllenhaal was even worse and even less believable in Dark Knight.
The movie tried to do too much... the Harvey Dent / Two Face story development was neat, but there was way too much going on.
Overall, for all the hype and all of the 5-star newspaper and critic reviews, this was only an average movie at best... That said, it's worth seeing on the big screen because of the action scenes and the special effects, but don't go in with your hopes up for seeing a fantastic movie all around because it only shines in spots.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
