I was so excited about this film i went to see it on a day other then Wednesday.

Was it worth the money? Hell yes

I thought the plot, action scenes, stroyline was amazing.

The three maina ctors all played their parts very well, however ledger was in a league above them.

He is one of the few people who made me laugh during a film, it was if he wasnt acting as was actually insane. The thing he did with his lips and his body language was awesome.

The way he gets into peoples heads was good *SPOILER* Such as when he was in prison and was telling the police guy how he knew his friends better then him because he kileld them. I laughed at the part when he asked him how many he killed and the joker went "six" without saying a word lol*

I liked the part when he dressed as a nurse and in the party

Very very good film, 9.5/10.

This and Iron man have been my two fav films this year.

Ledger deserves an oscar imo.

He played the joker so well completely out played Nicholsons mediocre version

Fucking blasphemy!!!!!

Nicholsons Joker was completely different to Heaths. The two should'nt even be compared. But for the sake of arguement, "mediocre"? Jack did a way better job than Heath, just wait till Jack dies then everyone will jump on board with me.

Jacks Joker was not true to the comics. He wasnt crazy and psychopathic enough for me. Tim Burtons batmans sucked tbh.I liked em as a kid but now when i go to watch em I just get bored. He made gotham city like some circus city or something. I never really like Tim Burtons style of directing

I dont give sympathy votes cuz someones dead.Hell i didnt lie the guy even after he died,its only after this that i respect him as an actor. He was good so ill say hes good

I think Jacks stuck to the comic considering it basically showed how he became the Joker. Heath played a guy who wore make-up with sown up slit cheeks who is just insane and wants to create anarchy. I'm not defending Tim Burton though, Nolan did a great job with the franchise but to say Heath did a better job than Jack is way off. They both acted their characters in two completely different movies.

A great deal of respect is givin to Heath because he's dead, it's unfortunate but it's true. Not to say if he was alive he wouldnt be praised for this but the whole "OSCAR!!!! TYME!!! FOR HEATH RIP ;( ;( ;(" is stupid. Both did great playing the Joker and cannot be compared.

Im not one of those ppl that is sayin he should win an oscar and al that jazz. I just thought he did well.Oh and the comic Joker is much more of a madman than Nicholson ever was. Im sorry its just my opinion.We could argue bout this all day but lets leave it as Each to their own

Completely agree. The comics are meant to be dark. It was the TV show and the 60s era that layered it with the psychedelia and pomp of the time, which unfortunately has carried through in all the Batman films and tv shows since. The comic has matured with the times since it became it's own branch of the DC world. Unfortunately, for some reason, people still associate it with that space in time of the 60s print and TV. The Batman character is, in the founding comics, as twisted and screwed up as the enemies he encounters.

And this is where the current generation of films start. Where "Batman Begins" as it were. And if Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are closer to the founding issues of the comics, the versions of Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin are based more on the 60s comics and television series than they are on the original prints.

Jack Nicholson's joker was nothing like the comics.  Him falling into a tub of acid isn't in the comics (how he became the joker is unknown, like in The Dark Knight).  His name 'Jack Napier' isn't the joker's name in the comics (his name is unknown, like in The Dark Knight).  He didn't kill Bruce Wayne's parents in the comics (It was a random thug, like in Batman Begins).  In fact hardly anything about The Joker Jack Nicholson plays is the same as the comics.

Heath played a guy who is just insane and wants to create anarchy?  Your point is?  That IS the joker.  He's not out for revenge, he wasn't dumped into a tub of acid by batman or the mob or anything like that (That's Two-Face)  he's just insane and he's not looking for anything in particular except to create mayhem, that's why batman can't figure him out.

Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy the character Nicholson plays in Batman.  But it's not the Joker, not how he's supposed to be.  You watch Batman and you see Jack Nicholson running around, dancing with face paint on.  Watch The Dark Knight and you see The Joker, not Heath Ledger.

Also, there was a big buzz about Ledgers performance, waaaaay before he died.
