At least you acknowledge that Dafoe is shit in that movie, and seem to understand that the movie is shit too, just shit you like.
I think there’s plenty more in TDK to love. Cinematography, practical special effects, pacing, music (really great music), story, art and sound direction, acting ... but sure, Ledger’s the meat, so I guess if you don’t like Ledger (which I suppose is possible?) then maybe it’s not great.
If you don’t like Robert Deniro, Taxi Driver’s gonna suck too. For you. But it doesn’t suck. You just don’t like the right things. Same thing here.
But your admission of Dafoe’s ridoculousness puts you ahead of these fools in my book. Cheers.
