The Dark Night

Yesterday i watched the latest Batman movie called The Dark Night.
I was waiting for this movie since i first saw the trailer some months ago..
Some exciting news also made it more attractive compared to all previous Batman movies...

First it was the reaction of Jack Nicholson when found out that another actor was selected to play the role of Joker. As revealed, Jack was furious when Heath Ledger was given the role of the famous villain, the Joker, in the new Batman movie.

Secondly, it was the tragic news of Ledger found dead in his appartment before the movie was released, caused from a possible drug overdose...

Surely, that initiated some reactions from the public. How is it possible, with such a huge success waiting around the corner, the actor to commit suicide in such a 'stupid' way?

Well i got my answer yesterday!

A brilliant performance from Ledger, overshadowing Christian Bale who played the Batman role. Ledger brought a new level in the villains category offering a range of emotions to the audience. An outsdanding, hate-to-love or love-to-hate (which one are you?), performance that, i am sure, has marked the Batman era!
I wouldn't be suprised if Ledger gets an Oscar nomination, or even win an award, especially when, rumour has it, his death was caused due to his 'deep-acting' commitment to the role of Joker.
You can see it in the big screen, Ledger was turned to something else...He wasn't Casanova anyomore nor that confused guy in Brokeback Mountain. He was something else...Fear, pitty, admiration, anger, you name the emotion, Ledger delivers it in the movie!

A 9/10 from me and definetely added on my list of best movies ever, along with Seven, The Devil's Advocate, Forrest Gump and Two for the Money
