Heath Ledger, awsome performance. A little twist at the end with another character.

AHH you guys beat me to it. That was an awesome movie, the acting was great the joker could have not been played any better. The only thing that sucked was the loud music kept me from being able to hear what they were saying the last few seconds of the movie.

The movie is 3 hours long. Very good for its length. I seen it at midnight on the 16th. It was worth it and was free.

Cant beat that.

I know I'm in the minority here, but i wasn't impressed. The movie kind of drug slowly at first and then it finally began to pick up. Also, it was too long and too hard to follow. Heath Ledger was OK, but Jack Nicholson played the Joker much, much better in the late 80's. There is no comparison between the two Joker parts. I'd rate it a 4 out of 10 stars.

I did like it but I thought it was over-hyped myself. Though I was also watching it at GunPoint 30, soo the atmosphere sucked ***** to say the least. Crying babies + cell phones = crap. I think that I'll try to catch it at the IMAX after it dies down a little, or Star Cinema Grill or Alamo Drafthouse. Just anywhere without screaming babies and wanna-be thugs.

Peace,
Craig.

Exactly! The Joker's trademarks are his sinister laugh and hyper, quirky mannerisms and for some reason Ledger didn't do those. I very was disappointed in the movie based on all of the buildup. My wife disliked it so much that she wanted to leave about half way through it. I talked her into staying though.
