" and whether it is overrated or not, is up to you to decide. that is merely on the scale of your own expectations."

Subjectivity explained pretty well there. Reviewing the comments for the top 5 films on this site, and all of them descend into similar over/underrated dichotomies...

If this movie wasn't about Batman, would it even be rated so high?

It might be the greatest superhero movie ever made.

The problem with The Dark Knight is that the main demographics decided that it was going to be one of the greatest films of all time...well before it was even released. It was a self-fulfilling prophecy based off of a number of factors.

The truth is though that this doesn't belong on any list, except for worldwide box office. Christopher Nolan screened Heat for the entire cast and crew before production. He wanted TDK to be one of the greatest crime dramas of all time, that just happened to be about Batman. Very few people are able to objectively judge this movie for what it really is though. It's a glossy, over-hyped superhero film. It doesn't even touch Heat.

I wouldn't go so far as to calling the ultimate action film, partly because that would be rather sad. It comes very close/It's very hard to beat and viewers will be hard-pressed to find something to dislike.

A modern classic. Never thought anyone could touch Nicholson's Joker, until Ledger came along. However I feel that Batman Begins deserves more credit. It is just as good as TDK. Here's hoping the 3rd installment won't let ths series down.

Heath Ledger gives one of the best performance by an actor I have ever seen.

I've gotten slightly obsessed with this movie...I'm not usually a superhero fan but this blew me away, to be perfectly honest. Mostly because of Heath Ledger's performance though, I'm not sure I'd like it as much if they'd cast someone else as the Joker. It was just amazing to see him develop his character and his insanity in some of the scenes is pretty addictive to watch.

I'd recommend this to anyone, even if it can be hard to follow, and it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I genuinely can't find much to dislike in here.
