With a review like this, I might have to go to a theater to see this. While I’m a big fan of movies in general, and Batman in particular, I haven’t seen a movie in the last decade that I’ve felt worth going to a theater for. There’s been a few movies that I’ve regretted missing on the big screen sure, but there been so many I’m happy to have missed that it makes up for it.

Before the movie I thought Heath would be the sentimental favorite to win an Oscar. Now I don’t see how you can logically choose anyone else. The man owns this film in the same way De Niro owned Raging Bull. He devours the part and the part IS the film, full and complete. Ledger’s Joker is terrifying because he makes decent points upon occasion and you never know his true motivation for wanting to tear everything down. He’s smart, driven, and fully lethal.

I always thought Ledger was one of those actors who screamed potential. He was fun to watch in a movie, but you always wondered how much better he was going to get. Tragically, we’ll never know, but it looks like at least some of that potential came out in this movie.

I just want Christopher Nolan to keep making movies. I’m willing to start some sort of fund if necessary.

Can’t get a much better review than that can you?
