the Joker

How could it live up to the hype? Close , though. Very enjoyable.


Gf and I watched the new Batman last week, and generally speaking it was great. Now, hype aside - I felt it was probably my fave of all the Batman movies, w/ possible exception w/ the exploding shark one.

And the Joker. Boy, eveyone tried to overdue themselves w/ accolades towards Heath ledger. Again, it was a bit too much, but he was kick ass in the film. Oscar talk whatever, he was beyond great.

How great was he? I mean, the backdrop of greatness in that role is huge - Ceasar Romero was perfect - until more perfection shwed up in the guise of Jack nicholson. My God both of those Jokers!! But step aside and add heath's version. Totally different, totally satisfying.

We go from "WHOO WHOOO WHOOO WHOOO WOOOO !!!" to "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" and now to a dog barking @ cars.

Don't expect the hype of the year award to come through, but totally see the movie - it's great. You'll love it.
