As more time has gone by and the film has soaked into my brain more, my view hasn't changed much. Good movie. Great comic book movie. But falls short of TDK and Watchmen for me. The story/plot was quite rushed, for obvious reasons, but the actors did such a great job it didn't hurt the movie as much as it should have (not unlike TDK).
What the movie lacked, tho, was a truly great villain like The Joker or a consistent "mood" like The Watchmen. This was a total showcase of the good guys and their personalities, and it succeeded at it. But since there was so much story to tell cramming it into a 2.5 hour movie seemed to do it an injustice.
