It is that good!

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2008)

I was beyond shocked to go to this movie and have it live up to the hype. Perhaps the biggest surprise for me was how good Heath Ledger was in this movie. I expected his death to be playing a major part in the reviews I have heard regarding his performance. That is not the case; he was great in this flick. My wife even liked it, and I have to drag her out to films like this.
Does this movie deserve a 10 out of 10? No. I would only rate it that highly if it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. However, in the sea of mediocrity that has pervaded the movies over the last couple of years, this movie clearly stands out as a must see.
