We have Ledger who up until now was my favorite Joker. This however is not as much about Joker as it is how Joker came to be.
Ledger is Joker through the movie, Phoenix is mostly just a confused, bullied madman who turns into Joker at the end. But boy, does he deliver that amazing Joker image at the end.
Phoenix laughs are extremely disturbing (the most disturbing one for me is in the corridor when he's about to visit his manager).
His whole performance through the movie is fantastic. I can't wait to see him in Joker 2.
I've had friends who couldn't even make it past half the movie without turning it off. Not that they found it boring or hated it. It brings out feelings.
And let's face it. That dance is already a classic :)
