Stop bashing the most minuscule things. This movie was great

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2009)

Alright, first let me go about saying that I saw the 1989 Batman and thoroughly enjoyed Jack Nicholson's Joker. Then this film came out. This Joker was much different than any other character I have ever seen. Those of you who say things like "he had no back story" or "no motives at all." . Let me just say that most great villains have no back story and are enjoyed, such as last year's Anton Chigurh from "No Country For Old Men." Heath Ledger, who I really did not know much about prior to the film, did most likely one of the best jobs I ever saw in film. He was scary and just, all-around creepy. Also, last I checked, the Joker is an anarchist, so those of you that say "he has no motives"; that was the point Christopher Nolan had in mind. Everybody else did great jobs in their roles, Christian Bale did great as Batman/Bruce Wayne; the only complaint I have is his chain smoker voice as batman, but it wasn't that bad. Everybody else did great jobs in this movie, including Aaron Eckhart and Gary Oldman. All in all, I think this film should get Heath an Oscar, and I get severely annoyed by people bashing this film and saying that Jack's joker was better. The Joker's are not capable of being compared, Jack did a great job being the campy joker and Ledger did well as the schizophrenic clown in "The Dark Knight". They are two different Jokers, so stop comparing them so harshly. However, I personally prefer Heaths, and his will be a Joker who will be quoted for years to come. 10/10
