I agree. In particular, Heath Ledger (who portrayed the Joker), acted in a manner that made me think that the title of the movie should have been different ... "Joker".

A movie is so much more compelling with a great villan... Ricardo Montalban in Star Trek II Henry Fonda in "Once Upon A Time In The West" Heath Ledger in Dark Knight Klaus Kinski in The Great Silence ...if the villan isn't strictly a one dimensional character but has some redeeming qualities - inelligence, humor, etc - it generally makes for a good movie experience.

It has a great script and great performances by Bruce Willis and Bonnie Bedelia, but what really makes it "work" so well is the remarkable performance by Alan Rickman as the villain (and amazingly he had never been in a movie before!). The producers of the James Bond and Mission Impossible type movies should ALWAYS hire a really first-rate actor (Ben Kingsley, Geoffrey Rush, F. Murray Abraham, Bob Hoskins, etc) to play the villain, because it adds SO MUCH to the movie (and of course it also makes sense to find the most beautiful women in the world, whether or not they can act at all)!
