Best Movie of the Year So Far

Rating: 10/10 (21 July 2008)

This movie surpasses the hype and is truly the best movie of the year. It is not, however, the best movie ever made, despite the #1 ranking of it. It was way better than Batman Begins (Liked it but didn't love it. The Bad guy just sucked really bad). I went into this movie half thinking it would suck, because my lack of interest in Batman Begins. Half of me thought it would rock, because the parts of the trailer with Heath Ledger in them looked cool. It ended up being awesome. Heath Ledger did something I thought to be impossible. He really and truly became the better joker over Nickleson (sp?). Now that I've seen Ledger's performance, I don't see how he couldn't surpass Jack. Anyhoo... I think that it would have made it into my top five list of movies if I had seen less of Bale and more of Ledger. Don't get me wrong. Christian Bale is a great actor. Heath is just better. It is definitely in my top 10 list of movies though. It is also, in my opinion the best superhero movie ever made. My top ten list consists of the following movies and a few series of movies
1. Lord of the Rings, 2. Star Wars, 3. Sweeney Todd, 4. Harry Potter 5. Monty Python and the Holy Grail, 6. Pirates of the Caribbean, 7. Indiana Jones, 8. The Dark Knight (Not Batman Begins), 9. The Matrix, 10.Monty Python: Life of Brian
