This movie was great. Heath ledger gives truley the best performance of his career unfortunatly if he get an oscar nom. it will just be because hes dead since films like this never stand a chance in teh oscar ring. You never see Heath you see JOKER! The script is well written. The movie doesnt let you get board because you kjnow teh joker always has something up his sleeve. This is a diffrent joker although the honor payed to jack was very visible to me in heaths portrayal. He made it his own and know one will ever be able to follow. the stunt coordination was very inventive without being over top and seeing Harvey Dents descent into TWO FACE gave new insight into the classic villian that has never been seen before. I wasnt sure is Eckhart could pull it off but he did far beyond expectation. This film is over all AMAZING!! This film will give IRON MAN a run for its money. SO why did i only give it 4 out of 5? Well partly because of the campy and completely unneaded monolauge at the end but manly Because next to Ledger, Bales portrayal of Batman looks even more flat than his roles usually are. And his "Batman" voice is down right annoying and sometimes hard to understand. He may have top billing but this films success has very little to to with him. The great performances given by Ledger, Cane and teh impeckable Freedman are what make this movie worth seeing. I know their probably gonna do a sequal but I doubt it will live up to this film.
