This movie wasn't the best horror movie I've seen, but with the mix of jumps, gore, sex, and comedy, it did come in a close second or third. I saw it in a sold out theater and the reactions of those around me and others in the theater made it an even more enjoyable movie experience. If you go, definately take a friend so you have someone to laugh the scares out with. Really good job. And to those who say that this isn't original, it isn't supposed to be. It is a remake, not a sequel. Similar to what Rob Zombie did with the Halloween movie. So get over yourselves and just enjoy the movie.
Don't get me wrong. I would definately recommend this movie and Heath Ledger was simply amazing, but the movie ran long and had too much storyline. Also, Batman's voice was a bit annoying, in the want him to clear his throat sense.
