I'm on the fence about it, too, it feels very weird between all the *DRAMATIC!11* reactions. I liked Ledger (although I don't think he should win an Oscar for this, his turn in BBM was better - he was wonderful as the Joker, but the character isn't particularly deep); Bale is as bangable as ever; it was cool to see the Scarecrow again (albeit pointless) and the Two-Face make-up was awesome. Oh, and I liked the prisoner dude who threw that doohickey overboard. But there was too much action (the part with the van and the motorbike seemed to last a century), and they should have saved Two-Face for the next movie. Oh, and I hate Gordon's kid. (LOL, ever sweet, ain't I?)
I actually think Kool Aid Katie was better than Gyllenhaal, which I never thought I'd say. But she had at least one reaction (when she's scared after the Scarecrow drugs her and Batman's driving them) which I found convincing, whereas Gyllenhaal was just a bundle of gestures and quirks.
