Considered to be one of the best Batman films, Heath Ledger gives a breathtaking performance as the chaotic joker, Bale is at his most vigilante trying to protect Gotham against the rising criminal threat. A great sequel.

"I loved Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker. His performance was thrilling and the plot was remarkable. The editing is also amazing. I believe quality editing is an important tool in properly displaying such a heroic tale"

Heath Ledger's Joker... Seriously do I need to say more. (0 more)
Best of the Nolan films and second only to Batman Returns for me.
I can honestly say that the opening scene alone is enough to give this movie a 10 star rating, for me it is hands down the best opening to any movie I've ever seen.

Heath Ledger's Joker stole the entire movie the sheer depth and realness he brought to the character even to this day even though I've seen this movie a dozen times still just blows me away. He takes the Joker to such a high tier and honestly noone's ever going and a top him for me. Bale's take on Batman/Bruce is good but not a favorite for me. The rest of the cast is wonderful as well and they all just play off each other so well.

Although I lean toward agreeing with you about the opening scene, I think Inglorious Bastards with Christoph Waltz is a better opening scene, but this one is probably top 5... Kudos to you if I had any left... I will hit you up tomorrow.

The opening scene to IB is freaking amazing but after watching both of them one after another I gotta stay on the DK side of the fence. It was just such an amazing intro to not only one of the most iconic characters in comic books but it blew away absolutely any doubts I originally had about Heath Ledger playing The Joker which I will be the first to admit I had my doubts when it was first announced.

A must see, even if your not a superhero fan.
I'm a massive Joker fan - always have been ever since I was little, so this may be a little one sided.

So out of all the films he's been involved with this is Joker’s first stand alone movie which I was so excited for. Joker’s back story has of course been talked about for many years as most of his life is unknown and simply everyone is guessing. The film 'Joker' decides to go down the back story of mental health which many believe is the cause of his behaviour.

The film starts off very simple, so much so that you believe you could be watching any other film. You get little hints of the Joker’s mental health issues and how people see him (at one point I felt sorry for him because of everything happening in the movie). As the movie progresses your then thrown into the world and mindset of the Joker himself; you start to see more mental health issues and start to notice the Joker that everyone knows. As the film progresses towards to the end, it creates many moments that leave you questioning your own sanity as you start to wonder what the truth is.

Yes this film has it flaws; it wasn’t quite the stand alone I was hoping for as I thought maybe a lesser well known reason would have been chosen but still the film did well with its chosen plot.

Yes it has 'that song' but in reality I feel it actually helps with the story that's happening. Here's my take; I feel that the song is in fact a hidden message. The song was performed by someone many would call 'a monster' so in truth is this not fitting for Joker? I believe that the playing of this song is Joker showing the audience in only true Joker fashion that 'the monster' he has hidden for so long is finally free.

There are many things I could say about this film but I feel I'd be here forever. In truth, many people don't enjoy this film for whatever their reason, or only enjoy parts. However, I enjoyed all of the film and everything it stands for or represents. As I said at the beginning I'm a Joker fan so this may seem one sided. I will say this though no matter what you may think about the film it’s 100% worth a watch, we can all take something away from this film, even if it's just how well done the movie was made. put together and portrayed.

The epitomy of film. One of the best movies ever put the big screen. What else can I say that hasn't already been said about this magnificent piece of art? This is excellent and Heath Ledger will always be my favorite Joker.
