All I said was with the buildup of Dent throughout the film, excellently executed, the actual climax of his storyline seemed rushed in comparison or at least did not live up to its full potential.
If you seperate the two characters as seperate entities, this was Dent's film, and Two Face was a bit part in comparison. Why could they not have satisfied the Dent storyline in this film with him becoming Two Face, and whet the audience's appetite for the next chapter which would have prominantly featured Two Face? Would it really have ruined the film if Nolan hadn't shot his load all in one movie? Just like we knew at the end of Begins that Joker was looming on the horizon, this film could have resolved the Joker issue and left the shadow of Two Face hanging over Gotham ready for the next installment.
This isn't a knock as such, but there was nothing hinted at for the future, unlike the last one. Not saying each film should end on a cliffhanger but there seems little chance that there won't be a third, Nolan or not. Something to draw the audience back, a couple of loose ends left untied, wouldn't have detracted from the appeal of the movie as a stand-alone viewing whatsoever to me.
