Why so serious?
PostedJuly 21, 2008
Banzaiking
from Atlanta, Ga.
Let's face it, sequels are, by and large, never as good as the first with few exceptions. This may be one of them. With a few periods here and there where the picture seemed to lag, this is truly an exhausting ride that is worth experiencing. Action - you bet, and plenty of it, but the movie is truly driven by the plot of a tale that is worth telling, and hardly lets up enough to let you breathe. While there is some sentimentality to laud the performance of Ledger, it is certainly praise that is not misplaced. Truly, this is a Joker that is no laughing matter. Sure, we snicker and giggle at his asides, mannerisms, and quips - but make no mistake, this is a clown where the menace under the mirth is near palpable, even in the safety of the movie theater. Oscar worthy? Possible. A performance that can be called great. Definetely.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
