    I watched Dark Knight and thought it was okay, a passable investment of my time, but unmemorable and ultimately un-moving.

    I thought the Joker was okay, but he didn't scare me, freak me out, alarm me, undermine cinematic convention, touch a darker nerve, cause me to confront any taboos or anything at all. Neither did he entertain me.... I found The Joker insipid, one dimensional, a plot cog even. He just turns up, and A, B and C just pop onto screen as required. When the villains meet round the table to discuss, he just pops up, easy, and they allow him to, easy, and he leaves with what he wants, easy, and it was all too easy for my liking.

    "Unconvincing but wacthable" was my conclusion.
