The movie starts out a little slow and that is fine, the background needed to be built before the heroics could be shown in all their glory. As the movie goes on however you notice one star shineing above all the rest in an epic protrayal of psychopathic comedian, The Joker. Heath Ledger shows not only the fans what the comic book was like but how it was meant to be protrayed on screen. Jack Nicholson watch out because you are about to be written off the record books for being the Joker. The new name to be rememberd as The Joker, Heath Ledger. The movie is so chock full of action you will question your motives on leaving your seat for even one second. Overall I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
