I've seen it twice since Thursday, if that's any indication of how much I loved it.
Nolan really did a fantastic job with this one: the dark mood of the series is back, the characters are three-dimensional and believable, the acting is top-notch from everybody (even Katie Holmes is passable) and the plot is rock-solid and engrossing. This is the first time I've ever really cared about Bruce Wayne/Batman, since he's been almost a shadow of a character in the other films, and I'm not ashamed to say that a few of the moments with his father and Alfred ("why do we fall, Master Bruce?") brought a tear to my eye.
Oh, and the Scarecrow and his fear toxin were fucking awesome and creepy as hell.
