Finally watched it last weekend. We had time to see a movie and I guess the wife felt guilty so we went and saw it. I don't think she liked it that much. Too much realistic creepiness from the joker I guess, added to the fact that Ledger died. She was looking more for comic-book style action rather than creepy thriller movie.
I did like it, though.
I was ready for it to end and then a couple new story lines emerged, so it felt long.
I really liked Ledger's Joker, of course.
Zeus was kinda dumb. That part was not well acted.
I was apprehensive about having Aaron Eckhart in the movie expecting him to be too shmoozy and shmarmy. But he did a good job in the first half. I didn't really believe his transformation, though. They tried to set it up but not well enough.
I remember thinking Holmes was a weird fit for the first movie. Gyllenhaal seemed a better fit, but not quite right. I wish I remembered that character better from the Batman Begins, maybe I should have watched it before going.
Bale was fine as batman, but the Batman voice was just weird.
Overall I thought it was a well made movie. Not a classic, but very good. 9/10.
