Awful movie with awesome marketing and propaganda

Rating: 1/10 (12 September 2012)

This is a boring film with shallow acting (except those of Ledger and perhaps Caine)and poor story-telling. Throughout the viewing, I wasn't even moved for one moment by those "crisis" created by the Joker and faced by the citizens of Gotham city. The supposedly emotional reactions (which led to the subsequent hostilities and killings) of Havey Dent over the death of Rachel is so unconvincing and superficial that I felt sorry for Eckhart for having to so act as required by the script.
I was fooled by IMDb's Top 250 list (currently ranking 8 out of 250 and scoring 9 out of 10 !!). I realize now what the list stand for. Frankly, if the list is not a result of a brilliant commercial engineering, I am quite embarrassed by the view of my fellow users at IMDb.
