Looking at Rotten Tomatoes ratings calculator, which is a pretty good indicator of reviews in general, it's at number 6 from movies that are top of the box office RIGHT NOW. That means it's propably going to be somewhere between 20 and 30 for movies this year. Number 7 is Iron Man. And that's just movies with wide American distribution, so calling it "one of the best reviewed movies of the year" is a bit of a stretch. Good reviews, sure. Just like Iron Man.
And I'm not "looking for things" or "nitpicking". The action is boring and so's the plot. If it bothers you that it's my opinion, look away. As you put it, "Come on man"; I'm comparing it with Iron Man, which is not exactly a pivotal moment in movie entertainment. You really think I'm doing this to be an elitist? I thought Underworld for example was superior to this. (Not much, but hey, at least it gave a damn about it's plot.)
I guess I could sum it up like this: Dark Knight tries to be clever, frightening and entertaining, but it fails mostly because everything in execution is so middle-of-the-road, safe and tested, PG-13 summer blockbuster, fun for the whole family. And nobody cares about the script.
