^^well the following are completely my view.and it may change from person to person.
please note i like batman (as a fictioal comics character) and have read some of its comics and seen many of its animated series and liked them.
though i don't watch superhero kinda movies much but still i have seen batman and robin movie and it was quite good.
1.voice..i felt a bit irritating when bale's or bruce's voice changes when he gets inside that bat suit.it seems like the director wanted to get a cold deep voice of batman but it ended in a harsh tone.
2.well i may be wrong but i dont know if its the batmask.because in closeup the bat mask looked quite inappropriate on christian bale.where as it looked quite good on george clooney in batman and robin.maybe it was not designed well to suit him.
3.i think some unnecessary points/dialogues made this movie a bit slow.
4.The two face's or harvey dent's story (if i remember correctly) as shown in the animated series was quite different (how he gets that burn...etc etc) which was quite thrilling or good.
in a movie no wonder you can twist the story.but a bit more is expected from that.
but here the harvey dent story felt really cheesy.
actually harvey dent is much more dynamic and brutal character in batman than shown in the movie.and he has two personalities(good and bad) as he as two faces.
in this movie almost his presence was masked by 'the joker' or heath ledger.no wonder he acted well.
5.more importance were given on the special effects but the actions were not quite spectacular. as a bit more was expected from this movie.
well to rate it 7.8/10

Democracy is a myth
Its not created on director's whim. Its actually a feature of batmask or should I say, Batman actually use a voice modulator which allows his voice to be un-recognizable. It helps him to keep his identity safe.
Unfit batmask?! Doesn't seem to me. FYI, geroge clooney's Batman has been nominated as worst movie ever made by razzies.
The dialogs are the forte of this movie, IMO. If u hated Dark Knight for dialog then u r sure to call "Watchmen" as worst movie ever made.
Actually I agree u here. What I read in comics about Harvey and his two-face is diff. in movie, and he sure did not die4.The two face's or harvey dent's story (if i remember correctly) as shown in the animated series was quite different (how he gets that burn...etc etc) which was quite thrilling or good.

But, they twisted it, and who knows in a future sequel, they may concentrate on harvey only. But, from film point of view, harvey doesn't have much strong challenges for Batman as Joker and Penguin.
Well, its contradictory from ur comment. U say more importance were given on special effects, then how can they be bad (or u expected it being a VFX overdose movie and got disappointed. Again Don't watch "Watchmen")
Its a deep movie, try to understand its meaning.

yes i know that.what i meant was the modulator should produce a good deep voice not that harsh tone.
well i mean the bat mask fitted better on george clooney.now i didnt took any screenshots but when christian bale's full closeup is taken it dosent seem we are staring at the batman.this point cant be cleared like this let me try to get few snaps of them.

maybe i liked it because it was the first batman move i had seen.and that too many years ago lol
i mentioned some unnecessary points/dialogues made this movie a bit slow.others were quite good.
btw you got that right I really didnt liked watchmen.
i think it was not as good as a superhero movie should be.it was even three hours long.
BTW i think the dark knight is miles better than that watchmen movie!!and should'nt be compared with it.though some critics says the alter.
ok sorry i didnt explained it in full.what i meant was :-In special effects more emphasis was given on creating harvey dents burnt side,the exploding building by joker,to crash that Lamborghini Murcielago,to create that bat mobile.
Now batman is famous for his intellegence and his fascinating gadgets batrang,Smoke Pellets,Shield,Grapple Gun..etc etc. which is shown less in this movie.
i mean in this movie only some specified gadgets with repeated usage were shown.one eg that bat glider.
acually most of the batman series(comics) holds serious story.thats why i liked them.
but then again maybe you are right.(No offence but as far as i know i understood the film.as if the film is good i really spend some time thinking about it after it finishes lol.)
nope i didnt expected anything of that sort as i knew its a batman movie.
btw yes i didnt liked watchmen because of its second half.no wonder it has some spectacular special effects.(i think i posted that in one of my previous posts months back)
and i am really tired of understanding the simple messages delivered in an artistically twisted manner which is not a new concept but has been applied over various other films too previously.
i dont know if you had but if you havent watch sin city for an example.
closing comments,
1.As cristopher nolan the director of this film i expected a bit more.twist,style innovation,concept,story whatever you can say.
2.I never said watchmen is a bad movie. I only didnt liked the way it was presented.
3.I think The dark knight is overall a good movie but still it lacks something.

robin hood prince of thieves...i did not like it...some of its characters do not fit into this movie..its not that good old robin hood which we read in the books.
the only person worth watching is the sheriff.
btw is there a way to remove subtitles from an AVI file?(there is no .srt file)

^its all fake.
also 3 idiots is a crap movie.
The Informant! 3.5/5
Wonderful acting by Matt Damon.although i agree with rhitwick about the behavior change mid-way into the movie.My fav director Steven Soderbergh doesnt disappoint u have to appreciate the unusual way in which this story was told.But it just fails to be a rib-tickling or huge unanticipated twist.nonetheless, its a good watch

yes i am reading that ever since i entered this thread.
Easy mr hunt.
i had mentioned in the beginning only(i think in my initial posts in this thread) that i was away from movies for a long time.and i only used to watch very few movies.therefore it is obvious that i have missed many.
now also i dont watch much but whatever i watch i make sure that its a bit different than others or if it seems different then only i watch.
anyways Let me watch batman begins then i will get back to you all.
__________________________
BTW please dont take it as an offence(as i dont like offending anyone without any reason) but a suggestion to all.
Guys thats why i didnt mentioned the cause of my dislike about the movie in the first post.only when eggman asked i stated the reason.
now before that i clearly mentioned "well the following are completely my view.and it may change from person to person."
(well by not liking i dont mean i hated The dark knight.its just that it was a bit below the expectation)
you cannot force me to like a movie and neither can i force you.
now i didnt liked watchmen and i wont like it even if i see it for 10 times.(incase i dont fall asleep
)if you liked it then good i am not cursing you for liking it.
as the joker says "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?"
