SPOILERS ALERT---
Great movie, except for the last 15 mins maybe, but some "concessions" to somewhat happy endings/moral issues is not avoidable, and the actual ending is not quite happy for batman...
I can't believe nobody mentioned the soundtrack, that annoying saturated sound anticipating each joker's manifestation...
Ledger's performance is amazing, the whole "agent of chaos" thing is great, the movie manages to give the idea on how unpredictable actions can influence and fuck with people minds. A single man fucks up citizens, police, a superhero, his lady, the mobsters. For what?
Surely not for money ha ha.
The opening scene is great.
some plot twist were actually pretty predictable, but I suppose it was almost on purpose.
I loved the fact that you never get to think "poor ledgy, he died!", you think "joker is fucked up". And you never think "oh, now batman comes and kicks his ass".
When he first tell the story about his scars some might think "oh, poor boy, a hard life make him the crazyhead he is", then he makes up another story and is almost excited to come up with something different to tell even to fuckin' batman.
Too bad we can't have another joker like this, now I have a reason to feel sad about Ledger's death.
