So Good!

Last night I got to see one great movie. Now I know that a lot of people are going to say that I exaggerate about Heath’s portrayal of the Joker, but they probably didn’t see the movie. The crazy thing is, his antics as Joker don’t distract from the movie’s plot or Bruce’s struggle to deal with the weight of Batman’s persona. The movie was very well balanced and I think that there are going to at least be some oscar nominations for a lot of the production staff.

My definition of a great actor is: performing in a way that I forget that actor’s name. This is why Will Smith will never be a great actor in my book. Heath, on the other hand, was outstanding. Through out the whole movie, I was having trouble separating him from the Joker. The production value of the movie was so high, there was at no point that I said to myself, “that’s not real.” Mostly I sat there saying, “holy crap, that’s flippin’ sweet.” There is no doubt in my mind that I will probably see this movie 2 more times in the theater. One time tonight, and one time in IMAX back in Knoxville. That is going to be an experience.
