"Why, Johnny Ringo [muttermutterslurmutter]" is the best line of Tombstone.

Well, it sure isn't in this case. It's a decent popcorn movie, but come on. It looks great, has some good performances, but the script is mediocre at
best.

I like a good superhero movie as much as the next person, but The Dark Knight was a seriously overrated mess and while most of Ledger's performance was
good, apparently no one found it necessary to rein him in at all or edit anything - he went off the rails a few times.
Not only was The Dark Knight not the best superhero movie of all time, it wasn't even the best superhero movie released last summer - that would be Iron Man. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday, on the other hand, was perfection. |

I feared Ledger was hyped too much and I'd be disappointed, but he was indeed awesome.
The movie was solid overall, but Bale's voice grated and the Two-Face subplot was an unneeded distraction. |

Some halfass critic on msnbc called Ledger's Joker the 'greatest cinematic villian of all time'. I guess the retarded fuck never saw Silence of
the Lambs. I'm not saying Ledger wasn't great, but there's no way he takes on Hannibal Lecter.
It's sad that the dumb fuck accidentally killed himself, but his death doesn't turn him into Marlon Brando for fucks sake. |

I really liked Heath as the Joker at the start of the film, but as it progressed, I like the performance less and less...BUT don't get me wrong. He did an
excellent job, but he was so watered down at the end that I had put a life saver on.

Aha! Ledger was one of the Brokeback boys!
I didn't know that. Explains everything. It's the old gay Hollywood mafia rallying around one of their own- or at least he played one in the movies. the word is out- vote for Heath! And just let me say that real scary villains possess a bold and straight-backed power on a Shakespearean scale- and with an element of pathos if not angst thrown in. It the "there but for the grace of God go I" type thing. Ledger was just over-the-top nuts. Is a rabid dog a scary villain- or do you just shoot him and be done with it? |

You didn't know that Heath Ledger was also in Brokeback Mountain? I think with your two posts in this thread you've proven yourself too stupid to
comment on movies further.

If the gay mafia were in charge of Hollywood, wouldn't Brokeback have won best picture? lol

The only thing I liked about the movie was the Joker. Other than that the movie was pretty much shit. So because of Heath I put the movie in my okay list and
not my shit list.

Perfect thread pulling a so so movie with an overrated performance back down to earth and then BOOM ! Amy walks in and ruins it. |

I loved it. And the only reason I watched was because of Heath. My husband said he didn't like Heath as the Joker because he was sloppy - in the comics he
was always neat and sharp looking. However, I much prefer this joker to the Jack Nicholson one. This joker is much cuter. :)

Someone upthread said Ironman was the better movie? I like Robert Downey Jr., but that movie was TERRIBLE. |

The same amateurs who hated Heath's brilliant performance probably loved Jack Nicholson's and probably loved that Julia Roberts won an academy award for 'Erin Brockovich' when that same year Ellen Burstyn DOMINATED in Requiem for a Dream...and was snubbed. And why? EB grossed much more...and that acting by Roberts was simply anger...and anger is the easiest emotion to act.

gadzooks, are you serious? heath fucking owned that movie. like pretty much bent it over backwards and had it squealing like a little bitch from the moment he
came on screen. the best part? when they're all, "do you think you can rip us off?" and he's all, "yeah".
fucking LOVE heath ledger, man. don't be talking shit about dead wood, yo. |

I'm glad Heath died as a joker and not a cowboy.
