GUYS IM BACK! just to honor Heath in the best Performance of his life, and the best i've seen in all the movies so far!
There are two main questions being asked about this movie - does it live up to the hype and does Heath Ledger give the performance of his career? The answer to both questions is a resounding yes.
Ledger, who died in January from an accidental overdose, has given the world an iconic performance in his last completed role and should rightly get an Oscar nomination next year.
He wasnt acting as the
Joker, he WAS the
Joker.
Ledger's performance is also the most interesting thing in the film, and when the Joker is absent,
The Dark Knight loses most of its energy and dynamism.
The Movie was So Awesome. Like Morgan Freeman. He was great.
There are some flaws - the movie's two and a half hours length does feel a bit long, some scenes are a little rushed and Gyllenhaal, fine actress that she is, gets very little to do.
But they are minor quibbles. The Dark Knight is a thumping great action film which grabs the audience by the collar from the first scene, throws them left-right and centre before leaving them crumpled up in a sweaty heap by the time the credits roll.
All I Have to Say About This is, You come away impressed, oppressed, provoked, and beaten down, holding on to Ledger's squirrelly incandescence as a beacon in the darkness.
We miss you heath.
