though i loved this movie, i will say i was quite critical of some decisions.
first and foremost it was very hard to determine who the main character was. so many scenes had equal weight as was said previously. and so many characters were pivotal.
batman/wayne
dent
gordon
the joker
rachel (more of a plot vehicle, but still important)which were the heroes? which were the antiheroes? which were the villians? i can see some of this play out on purpose. nolan did a great job with it, and he was obviously exploring thesis/antithesis/synthesis.
however, in a lesser director's hand it coudl have become a muddy fiasco. this movie was already very long, but some of it seemed rushed. the problem is this movie had too many important characters. my concern is if they do a third it will go over the top, like spider-man 3 and x-men 3 which were fucking horrible. 2 villians is too many. especially when the story arch is so complex and their characters are so intense. you skip important emotion and interaction, but there is always the hollywood need to go bigger and "better"
