First things first. Does Heath deserve an Oscar? NO! His performance is way over-hyped. Just because he has insane makeup and sticks out his tongue a lot does not make him oscar-worthy.
Is Christopher Nolan a great director? Yes. Everything that was wrong about the first Batman movie (Batman Begins), he rectified in this one.
Of course, the running time of two hours and thirty minutes was a bit much. I felt okay with the length, but that was around the one hour and forty-five minute point.
Most of all, I am disgusted by how over-hyped the movie is. I don't understand why people are rating it so highly. It was impressive on IMAX. But overall, I am not a Christian Bale fan, so that is why the Batman series is kind of ruined for me.

so, once again, you just enjoy going against what everyone else says. your review says it all.
you really can't dismiss a movie because you don't like an actor, or because it is hyped up. Yeah, i agree, it is somewhat overhyped. some people call it the, or one of the best films ever. maybe, in the last 8 years, but not in 80. but it is nonetheless amazing.
get over yourself

Finally! someone I agree with. It is over hyped, Heath was good but not an oscar winning performance. Christain Bale is not the best batman, however he is part of the best batman series and his character (as designed) is superior to the others. I still think Michael Keaton is the best batman, even though these new batmans are better overall.
