Here is my article about why Heath Ledger did not do an Oscar worthy job in the Dark Knight.
Ha. ha. he. he. ho. ho. squee.
Batman circa 2008 can safely yell BINGO! Batman had all the right ducks in all the right rows. Teenage boys? (Explosions!) Check. Teenage Girls? (Explosions, Christian Bale). Check. Adult men and women? (Explosions, famous leads). Check. Older audiences? (Remake comparisons to be done!) check. Comic book mongers? (Batman….) CHECK.
1 + 1 is 1 billion dollars and counting.
Ok. Whatever. Inflation holding it in check, The Dark Knight has a ways to go before it dethrones Titanic as the highest grossing movie of all time. And Titanic didn’t come close to the all-ages audience success. Titanic had the awe inspiring direction, the actors, and the plot. The Dark Knight? Ehhhhh. Heath Ledger (first half of movie), ok cool. Heath Ledger (second half of the movie), ehhhh.
I thought The Dark Knight was OK. I’d probably see it again; the plot was convoluted enough to rival National Treasure 2. The special effects were big, but expected. Mostly, I think The Dark Knight passed up script coherency (and competency) for the sure money making stunts.
The Dark Knight: B+. Does it deserve an Oscar for script? No. Direction? No. Special Effects. Definitely in contention. Acting? No.
I wrote my first article for Associated Content. Weee. My first payment. $3.03 and $1.50 for every thousand views. So, allow me to whore myself out.

I actually think Heath did a great job as The Joker. Better than Jack Nicholson, and I won’t even mention the crap-tastic Joker Caesar Romero did in the 60s. And the reason he was on meds was because he was having anxiety and sleeping issues after The Joker (which also happened to Nicholson, but obviously not to the same extreme). But oh well; agree to disagree ‘n’ all. (cont’d)

I hope Two-Face comes back. I mean, Chris Nolan did bring The Scarecrow back at the beginning of The Dark Knight (question: Why are all of the secondary villains heart-stoppingly gorgeous? First Cillian Murphy, now Aaron Eckhart! They had better bring in Johnny Depp for The Riddler.), so there’s hope that Two-Face will get the next movie to himself. ~

I love your analogy of a giant in a glass playground. that was great! you’re a good writer and i see what you mean, toward the end it did get a little tedious and yet i have to admit i loved what ledger did with the dress and hair at the hospital. i totally cracked up when he hit the box and finally the hospital blew up! well that and the image of the joker in a dress and wig just.. yeah.. lmao.

I can’t believe anyone says Heath was better than Jack as the Joker…no one has that natural “crazy” better than Jack. I think people are just raving about Heath cause the poor guy is dead…I mean he did a GOOD job and all..but not better than Jack! The entire movie was good…but I would not call it the best I have seen, I don’t think it was all everyone makes it out to be.

Titanic didn’t do much for me. Maybe its cause I am a guy. I don’t know, but the best part of that movie was that guy falling off the boat and nailing the propeller on the way down, doing cartwheels in midair until he hit the water.
