Morons I tell you! MORONS!!! :heh:

All I can say is I've never been a Heath Ledger fanboy, actually I've disliked MOST of the movies he's done, with the exception of Monsters Ball and The Patriot ... but I was hanging on every word, every facial tic, even his fucking body language was so, I don't know, twisted (when he leaves the hospital). To me, I believed it, I believed him, I got lost in his portrayal because to me I didn't feel like I was watching an actor in a movie.

I can't wait for the EXTENDED version!!!!!
 
Great movie. IMO the only major problem is how fast Harvey turns from the perfect good guy into a psycho killer. Reminds me of Star Wars 3, when Anakin is all jedi and after one little chat go crazy and kill an entire school.

Oh yeah, by the way - SPOILER ALERT!! WEE-OOO WEE-OOO!!

I see where you're coming from, but I feel like Harvey/Two-Face made more sense, cuz the guy had been fighting so hard to clean up Gotham, and no doubt had to deal with so much abuse and threats, and often I'm sure felt like it wasn't worth it but had to reassure himself to push through and carry on - no, at first I was a little hesitant to buy it, mostly because of my preconceived notion of what the character of Two-Face was, which was completely different from (and inferior to) this one, but I can totally understand it; after everything else, the one thing he loves and holds dear is taken from him and crooked cops on the take (remember, he worked at internal affairs) are partially to blame (for delivering her to the spot of her death); I can totally see why he'd just abandon all hope and completely lose it.

Anakin, though: that was indeed retarded and implausible. Lame. :Smug:
 
I'm going to agree with Metaltastic and just go out and say although the performance was clearly some twisted shit, I think that fact that the Ledger died elevated him and made people freak out more than they might've had he not died. I mean it's still a retardedly awesome flick either way.I still think I like Nicholson's joker a tad better, maybe cause there's some scenes in that Batman that are just so fricken awesome....

"REMEMBAHH AHHHHH YOU AHHHHHH ARE MY NUMBER ONE AHHHH GUY."
 
People go nuts with Heith Ledger and I agree he was really good (better than Nicholson) but for me the strength of the movie was the writing and directing from Christopher Nolan and the overall excellent quality cast.

ledger was great, but i don't know if i'd consider this the sort of legendary acting job that people are making it out to be...i would agree that as much, if not more, of the credit goes to the director and writers for doing such a great job of making one guy wreak total fucking havoc

and i'd also have to say that i prefer nicholson's joker to ledger's...maybe i'm just biased because i loved the holy hell out of that 1st batman movie from the time i was 7, but i'll be damned if nicholson didn't NAIL that part...i think if people went and watched both those flicks back-to-back, they'd appreciate the original joker a bit more.

also, i'll take michael keaton over bale as batman any day. i've never liked him much to begin with, and his shitty voice just wrecked it for me....

Well it comes down to personal preference, but the truth is that nicholson's and ledger's jokers are two different approaches of the character that each work better in the movie they're in.
 
The whole movie was almost worth it just for the pencil trick. Definitely the best film I've seen so far this year.
 
i was a bit underwhelmed by it. Heath ledger was fantastic, as well as aaron eckhart, but for the most part i could take or leave the movie. The only reason this movie is getting such positive reviews is because it's a batman movie. If you removed heath ledger from the movie, it would have been pretty meh. I will say that it's one of the best comic book movies, but that's not saying very much.
 
Just saw it yesterday and it was fuckin' awesome. Heath Ledger performance is badass.

The funniest Joker part is when is arriving at the mob meeting, the black banger asks for one of his guy to go kill him, and the Joker says : "hey you see this pencil, i'm gonna make it disappear" and BAM he just smashes the poor guy's head on the table :)

Guys i also saw the GOMMORA movie 2 days before (i watch too much movies actually :) ), it's about the Italian mob and it's friggin' awesome. Very disturbing... not "entertaining".
