Why So Serious?...

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2013)

Heath Ledger's role as the Joker is nothing less than pure genius! From his modernized look that truly captured the essence of this comic book villain, to his perfectly creepy voice, to his facial expressions and body movements. This is is one of my all time favorite films and I never tire of viewing it. While Christian Bale did a fine job as Batman the film wouldn't be what it is if not for Ledgers role as the Joker. While there is a morbid element that surrounds the film due to Ledgers death (like Lee's untimely passing in The Crow) I believe the popularity of this film is most definitely due to the amazing acting (Ledger), directing (Nolan), music (Zimmer) along with the hundreds of talented behind the scenes people and not because of Ledgers unfortunate passing. If you haven't seen this film I would be shocked but if you really haven't just buy it because it should be in every movie fans collection!
