A Movie Experience

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

I know that there's always room for improvement and perfection is very allusive. But when it comes to this film, I don't think it deserves less than 10. Excellent...seriously.
I forgot for a long while that I was actually watching a comic book superhero movie. The way the storyline and events unfold throughout this film are basically heart pounding and intense, which ultimately, makes the your interest and involvement with the film an extremely enjoyable experience.
I have never been a fan of the villains in the Batman stories, but Jack Nicholson actually made me appreciate the sarcasm and twisted sense of humor that is the Joker in the 1989 Batman release. But what Heath Ledger (R.I.P) did in this movie is nothing less than iconic,stunning and memorable.
I think I can say that he made me a Joker fan. I recommend this movie to everybody. The seemingly talkative and slow winding beginning of the film is amazingly rewarded by astonishing visual effects and an effective storytelling. I brought a smile to my face which, in the other hand, made me want to ask everybody else outside in line, waiting to see the movie: "Why so serious???"
