Why so Serious?

For those that have not seen this movie yet, drop whatever plans you have and go. It was incredible. The first movie in a long time to live up to the hype. The action was phenomenal and the performances were well above average, with Ledger stealing the show. This Joker makes Nicholson's portrayal look like Santa Claus. The Joker is the story of this movie, not Batman, not the mob, not the love story of Bruce and Rachel Dawes (which by the way , she was the only weak link in the film. Maggie Gyllenhaal was B list at best). I really think Ledger's performance was a great send off to his career. Oscar worthy? I wouldn't say so just because of the genre, but great nonetheless. However, I can't give him all the credit. Somebody had to write the script and the actions he would perform. This fantastic role is a combo of great writing and acting.

By far this is the best comic book movie we've ever seen and is possibly one of the best action flicks in a decade, if not longer. Bottom line, don't wait for the DVD. It's too good to miss.
