Dissenting opinion
I hibernated through the last couple of decades' glut of superhero films. Not my thing. However, I grew up watching Batman on TV, and when I was 10 years old I met Adam West at an autograph signing gig at a car dealership. Fallen superhero, indeed. And the Dark Knight is the #3 film of all-time on IMDB. So, I decided to give it a watch.
No spoilers follow.
It's certainly a beautifully shot film with great audio. However, it's too damn long. There, I said it. It's chaotic, in large part due to the Joker, but also due to the kitchen sink plot. This chaos makes the film drag on.
So, it's not a masterpiece and not deserving to outrank films like The Godfather Part II or LotR: The Return the King. But it's not woke and certainly worth a watch.

ONE OF THE GREATEST TRILOGY
No other comic book film can stand toe to toe with The Dark Knight or even the trilogy as a whole.
