Genius

Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2016)

This masterpiece of a film deserves every award, every positive review, and every dollar put towards it's production. This movie was released way back in 2008, I saw it for the first time when I was only around 9 years old. I'm now 15, soon to be 16. At the time, I may not have been the best at critiquing movies... or anything for that matter, but I was still blown away by this film at age 9. I recently saw this movie again before writing this review, and I now appreciate it even more almost 7 years later. The directing is perfect, the writing is perfect, and the performance by Heath Ledger as The Joker is one of the best I have ever seen in film. It is truly a shame that such an amazing actor was lost, but he gave an astonishing, riveting last performance that even the most sophisticated words couldn't describe. At times some of the lines the Joker delivered just made me cringe. His laugh was truly sinister, a thing of nightmares. This movie is a one of a kind, it is a landmark in modern cinema. I promise you will never see anything quite like it again, so if you haven't seen it yet SEE IT!!! Trust me, it is worth your time and I assure you won't regret it.
