This movie was beyond amazing. The acting left me breathless, horrified, and inspired all at once. Every character was portrayed beautifully-- particularly the ever demented Joker. Heath did an Oscar worthy rendition of one of the most notorious villains of comic book history and has set the new standard for movie villains as well. I saw this @ 11:59 Thursday night, and I will be seeing this again for the next three nights.
Although he is no longer among us, Heath has immortalized himself in history. As for the directing? Bravo, Mr. Nolan. Bravo.
