Though half of the first half was an experience akin to watching some silent classic by Charlo owing to bad sound quality in the theater the man we all went to see allayed our pain and then transformed it slowly into a sort of manic glee as our eyes twinkled at his menace with awe. The Dark Knight is Batman. But the Shining Armour Trophy surely goes to the Joker.
I was half skeptical about Heath Ledger doing justice to the originality and ominous eccentricity that Jack Nicholson brought to the character of Joker. He immortalized it in all its maniacal
menace. He made it an emblem of maverick villainy. But Ledger has done more than fine to inspire awe amongst the Caped Crusader's most ardent admirers. He has brought immortality to the deranged depravity on that painted face. Christian Bale is good. Michael Cane is suave. Maggie Gyllenhal is wasted. Morgan Freeman is just fine. Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart are superb. Heath Ledger is just magnificent. It is his film.I don't want this to be a detailed review. I would only ask you all to go watch the movie and discover it for yourselves. No one will rue it, I am sure.

I loved the movie!! :)
i heard a lot of criticism neverthless am going to watch it
hopefully this weekend....
and ur composure is very enchanting
I couldn't agree more to your views. :) but somehow i never quite liked Nicholson's take on the character. If you had read the comic books and loved the character from there, you'd be rather angry about Jack Nicholson's portrayal.
But that's past... now just think who'll walk up to the stage to collect Ledger's posthumous Academy Award.
I have heard mixed reviews of this movie.. but most people seem to agree that the joker rocks however the movie overall is not that great. I think i will give it a try when it comes on DVD :-)
the movie was good...but I am that typical college gurl who would call any hindi pakao romantic !@#$% flick superb so I don't think I should comment more :)

It's too bad he's dead. The second movie, (one hopes) would have been such a kickass flick.
