...is unbelievable. That's about all I can say. The only other thing I can say is don't go into the movie with any preconceived notions of what you think you know about Batman and the Joker. This is NOT Tim Burton's version.

Jack Nicholson immortalized the role of the Joker in 1989, and Ledger's portayal is almost completely different. No camp here, just a vicious, psychotic and violent criminal mastermind who manipulates people for his own sick gratification. Pure genious.

SPOILER: The movie itself is actually more about Batman and Harvey (Two Face) Dent's descent into madness, but the Joker steals the show. The end is kind of anti-climactic, and though the film leaves it wide open for future Joker interaction, we'll never again see Ledger's Oscar-worthy portrayal. That is perhaps the worst thing about the movie.

Believe the hype. A+
