The Dark Knight (Review by me)

I know there is a lot of hype over The Dark Knight movie.

About how it is Heath Ledger's last movie before his death.

How this Batman is darker than the previous movies.

-----

Well, I went and saw it today.

With the mindset that people were playing it up due to Heath Ledger's untimely death.

I loved the previous one, Christian Bale is a breath of fresh air in terms of Batman. Michael Keaton, before Bale, was the only person who pulled off Batman with style and perfection.

After seeing this movie, The Dark Knight, I have a new favorite.

Heath Ledger stood up to all the hype.

His role in this movie was simply amazing.

Jack Nicholson was a phenomenal Joker, there is no doubt in that.

But Ledger, wow. What he did with this character I have never seen.

The dedication, the precision, the mannerisms. Everything about the character that he played was so amazing I cannot think of a word to describe it.

I think back on the whole movie and I am just completely speechless.

-----

Some may feel that Heath Ledger's performance was only glorified when he passed away so suddenly.

Some feel he deserved an Oscar even before his death.

To those who do not feel he should receive or be nominated for any awards, to you I say this:

Go and see the movie as if it was just some movie.

Compare Heath Ledger's role as the Joker to that of Jack Nicholson and to Cesar Romero.

And after you have done that, make a decision.

Never has someone played a role so well, in my opinion, as Heath Ledger as the Joker.
