How Dark Do You Want It?

[Marcusarilius]

After reading some of the reviews on Indy 4, I had the distinct impression that some sillyness should be restrained here and there. (This thread isn't about Indy 4.) It got me thinking about the changing tide of late twards more realistic and Darker movies as a dominating aspect and preference in films. I.e. the Dark Knight, 30 days of Night and so on.

So the question is this: Are darker films the wave of the future and do you like Darker Films in general?
