Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2008)

If the many thousand comments or the IMDb Top 3 rating don't convince you to watch this movie, at least watch it for the legendary performance of Heath Ledger. Its a once-in-a lifetime performance and one can only imagine what this boy could have achieved if he had another decade to live. If Christopher Nolan feels let down that Heath has got most of the attention for DARK KNIGHT, it was partly Nolan's mistake. Because he chose Heath Ledger for the Joker!!!
There's a lot that one can ramble about Heath's performance but to me he simply was the most terrifying on screen villain. The scene where he explains the scar in his face to Maggie Gyllenhall in the party was near horrific without the horror. And Nolan did a interesting job by portraying Heath's role as what it was - a Joker.He is not behind anyone or anything. His intention is just to create chaos and have fun doing it. The hospital scene with the 2-face Harvey had some stunning dialogues and makes a terrifying thought if there's a real Joker out there.
I had seen Heath's performance in 10 things, Patriot and Knight's tale. But just didn't see this performance coming!!!
