Seen this twice, once at the 12am opening and then again this week.
I think the first time I was too tired to have it all sink in, but the second time around was certainly more enjoyable. I've seen many films multiple times, but this one had quite a bit more substance than others, aside from LOTR. Many times better than prior Batman films, merely because the plot did not require a "startup", and also allowed the villains to already be established (aside from Dent of course). This provides us with pure plot, more or less. Not much fat at all on this one, as things moved fairly quickly from one thing to another.
As for moral lessons? Always a part of the Batman storytelling, but at least this time around it wasn't shoved in our faces. Sure, the end speech was a bit of exposition, but it was what they had to work with since the climax was over and done with.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
