I also didn't think he was an interesting character (well at least not interesting enough to support his prominence in the film). I thought he was one dimmensional. I did think ledger's acting was quite good. Anyways, I suffered from Joker fatigue which is apparently a fairly rare syndrome. I also thought the interplay between Wayne, Dent, and Dawes was poorly written, rushed, flat, and not emotionally engaging.
Finally, I thought the movie failed as social commentary but that's a minor reason why I didn't enjoy the movie.

My beef about the Joker was the total lack of character development. How did he become the Joker? We never even really received a straight story on how he came to have the scars on his face.
