re: Official Dark Knight Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

Just got back.

To keep it simple, this is the best action movie I've ever seen. I've never watched a movie where I caught my jaw literally dropping so many times. The drama side of the movie is very well planned out and executed as well. There's constantly someone in danger or a ethical decision Wayne/Batman must make.

Ledger definitely deserves an Oscar nomination at the bare minimum. When the Joker is speaking, you don't feel like you're watching a movie, but just like you're listening to a madman speak. There's one scene where he is wearing no make up, and that was the only scene I could see physical traits that it was Ledger.

The Joker in this movie, as most had hoped, was perfect IMO. Several funny parts or lines, but still kept his lunacy front and center.
