SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!Just got back and there's not much to say that hasn't been said already..Ledger was AMAZING. Very twisted,creepy and not a big bag of tricks like the 89 version.. except for the disappearing pencil which was badass! Bale... meh. I liked the darkness he put back into the character but I kept waiting for him say the line... "you gotta ask yourself one question, do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk!???" He couldn't have nailed a better Eastwood impression if he was trying to. It was a bit distracting from the character. Maggy Gylenhal(spelling?) kinda sucked as Rachel, but no worse than Mrs Cruise.. I was happy to see Scarecrow again though and Harvey Dent was awesome! I was expecting to see more of a Tommy Lee Jones style makeup but DAMN! That was an ugly bastard! Who is sculpting that one?? You know you wanna...Anyway, well worth the buzz surrounding the film, but I've heard the word Oscar thrown about and I honestly can't see it....
