When I first heard about Heath Ledger playing the joker, I thought, "UGH What a bad choice!"
As the promo shots and trailers were released, I slowly changed my mind. I was excited to see this film more so than any other so far this year.
It was fabulous! After seeing it, I immediately wished I could go see it again. I never go see movies twice in theatre, but I'm going again this week to catch the IMAX version.
The only distracting thing was sitting in the theatre watching Heath Ledger's transformation into the Joker and thinking, "What a complete and utter loss to the industry his death caused".
