Yes, it was a good film but I have no desire to re-watch it.

I thought it was brilliant, but I have had several chances to see it again, and I don't have any motivation to. The abused becomes the abuser, and finds it freeing and empowering. Got it. I got sucked in though, and they are apparently making a sequel. In a way, I hope it is a little less Taxi Driver, and a little more comic book entertainment. At least in the comics, the Joker knows he isn't really happy, but he can't help himself. Here he embraces his inner sociopath. The implications are more unsettling than the movie itself.
I didn't think anyone would ever top Heath Ledger for being dark and oddly disturbing as the Joker, and yet here we are.
