the movie wasn't all that great

Rating: 4/10 (10 December 2008)

First of all, the joker died in the first movie. You can't bring someone back from the dead. The only reason why this movie was such a big deal is because Heath Ledger died. After watching the movie, I don't see how playing the part of the Joker would have drove him to die. Don't get me wrong. If he was the first Joker, then yea. He did a really good job. He wasn't the first and looked nothing like the first. I have nothing against the man. He was a great actor. But he had problems of his own and to say that he died because of the movie is a bunch of sh**t. Anyone could have played that part. I just feel that the media and the film makers, if they had a part in it, used the movie to cover up Heath's problems which in return made this movie out to be something so crazy when really it wasn't. I bought the movie and now I wish I wouldn't have. The true fans of the original Batman and Joker I think would have to agree that the movie was OK but that's all it was. Just OK.
