...........Those little dots are the only words i can find for this movie. Where do i begin? Where batman begins?? Ok dumb joke. Seriously though, this movie teaters on the line of brilliant. Then with the opening scene it smashes through that line and makes a hard right to awesomeville. Population 2. Ok, seriously though again, this film is so brilliantly filmed, written, and acted by heath ledger. Heath Ledger's joker is the greatest on screen villian i have ever seen. To still a word from Bryan, i have never seen a villian that sinister and evil. His character just dominates the screen, and when his scenes would end, i would find myself completely in awe, and never wanting him to leave the screen. A lot of people confuse him for funny. And granted some of the things he says are funny, if you really think about what he is saying, you realize how completely evil he is and it makes it all very haunting. His character actually scared me. My favorite line in the entire movie was when one of the mobsters called the joker insane, or maybe it was crazy....it doesn't matter and then the joker said, "No, i'm not. I'm not." His delivery on those lines were so chilling you could actually feel everybody in the theater get uncomfortable. If he doesn't win the oscar for best supporting actor it will be the greatest tragedy in cinematic history....and yes i do believe that. I think they should give him the best actor oscar, but they won't because he doesn't have enough screen time. This film is just more than Heath Ledger's performance though. Not only is it the best picture of the year by miles and miles, but it is the best film i have seen since No Country for Old Men. Speaking of No Country you can definitely draw lines between the Joker and Anton Chigurh. I don't know how to spell his name. Both are very mysterious in where the originate from and they believe in chaos and madness, and everybody that crosses them feels their wrath. There are two shots in this film that absolutely blow my mind. The shot of the Joker in the police car, after he breaks out of the jail (i love how they eliminated sound completely) and the shot of the joker after batman dodges him on the batpod. The camera shoots him from the ground looking up, it is absolutely beautiful. Now to my theory on two face. I do not believe two face died. this is why. When they started the batman franchise, Christian (I apparently beat up women) Bale signed on for three batman movies, and Christopher Nolan only signed on for two. I can't imagine Christopher Nolan not coming back for the third one, but if he doesn't i think they ended the movie the way they did, so that whoever does the third one can use whatever villian he chooses and doesn't have to continue Mr. Nolan's storyline. But i do believe he will return, so two face will as well. Commissioner Gordon is going to save Harvey Dent's good reputation and then it is going to come back and bite him big in the final installment. The only problem i have with the movie is Bale's "batman voice"......that has got to go.

this movie was freaking awesome. it was the best movie i have seen in a long time. I agree, he should lose the voice as batman.
I totally agree with you. But we already talked about it a little. His character was brilliant and he played it brilliantly. Everything about it was amazing. Everytime he was off the screen I wanted him to come back on. It's like when something is so disgusting you don't want to look but can't help yourself. Greatest villain ever in my book. Oh, and I was talking to Ashley about the batman voice. I freaking hate it. I wish he would just talk normal. Because it's so stupid.
Oh, and do you know what else would have been great. If Ledger hadn't died, if they had made a movie of how the Joker became the Joker. I'd want to see it.
Every time I think about this movie I think...I am so glad they didn't kill the Joker. I can't wait to see him in the next movie...and then I begin to suffer the biggest dissappointment of the year. The joker stole the show. They should have just named this one after him. I am still dissappointed that he won't be in another one. However, if they try and bring someone else in for that role in a following movie, that would completely suck.
Batman Voice is terrible. I wanted to like it because I wanted the movie to be perfect. Because of that voice it isn't perfect, but close enough.
In conclusion, I rarely ever watch a movie twice. Even the really good ones. I am already planning on watching this one again...and again.
