Great Movie! Heath Ledger is now larger than life!

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2008)

I saw a first screening of the film last night and man was I impressed! This is probably the best film I have seen so far this year and by far the best Batman movie of them all! Heath Ledger's performance is what makes the film truly awesome! And I agree with the critics that he deserves a posthumous Oscar for his role. I understand that they don't normally give Oscars to roles like this but they need to make an exception in this case because I would like to see someone give a performance better than this one. If someone can do that, go ahead and give it to them otherwise have Heath be the second posthumous Oscar winner and give the trophy to his family! It would not be any more ridiculous than some of the other Oscars that have been given (i.e. Erin Brokovich, Three 6 Mafia, etc.) It would kind of be like Johnny Depp's Oscar nod for Pirates of the Caribbean. He should definitely be nominated for an Oscar if he doesn't win! Elsewhere, the story was good and the other performances were pretty decent. But Heath shines above them all in this film! Not even Michael Caine does as good of a job as he does! A great film. One of the best in recent memory!
