I don't get it

I know this post would draw the ire of many, but I can't resist.
I watched The Dark Knight last night on pay-per-view and quite honestly, I do not understand all of the hoopla.  The plot was difficult to follow.  Christian Bale sounded like he had larangytis everytime he wore the batman costume and Heath Ledger's Joker...well, frankly I was disappointed.  Maybe my expectations were too high.  I have heard for months that it was one of the darkest performances of a villian ever.  I thought it was kind of lame.  No offense to the late Heath Ledger, who I think was a fine actor.  The movie itself just fell short in my estimation.  I watched Tropic Thunder the other night as well.  Tom Cruise's performance wasn't all that either. I think he must be bored with playing the same characters all the time.  I am going to see Valkyrie sometime though.  
Just some thoughts.  I am a bit harder to please in my old age.
