And even though it was a good movie, I didn't sit with the "omg, that was an epic/intense movie" feeling like I did with the Bourne movies, The Departed, The Good Shepard, etc.

It was a good movie, but I feel like I'm the only person in the world who wouldn't give it a 10/10. I'd give it an 8. It's a great movie, but I didn't experience it as such an epic movie as the critics have been describing it as. I was actually kinda dissapointed because of the praise it's gotten from the media.

Anyone else agree? Or am I the only one who didn't think this movie was omfg-epic?

I definitely agree with you, looking back it was a pretty damn good movie, but when I was in the theater I wasn't on the edge of my seat. Definitely overrated by everyone I know and the media, but I mean it was still good.

I liked it, but in the back of my mind while watching it I was constantly looking at whether Ledger would deserve the Oscar, due to all the hype that surrounded his death.

It didn't really detract from the movie but was a distraction. There were a few scenes though that I said he'll definitely get it, based on how he transformed the character from that stupid campy Joker and the Jack Nicholson version.

I loved it and it's one of my favorite movies of all time, but it definitely did not live up to the hype. Why? Because the media blew the hype WAY out of proportion when Ledger died.

I'd say it's the most epic comic book movie ever.

I love that movie, especially because I saw it on Imax. Heath Ledger did a good job as playing the joker.

Critics and the media are a bunch of morons.

The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Qft.

Though Ledger did put in the best performance he ever managed in it. He was pretty damn awesome as the Joker. Topped Jack Nickleson, which is a hell of a feat.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

I thought it was pretty damn awesome. Maybe it's because I don't generally set super high expectations for comic book movies, so I was pretty blown away by Ledger's performance.

Ledger wasnt all that. I could put makeup on my face and constantly lick my lips too.

I just hate how everyone bandwagoned the shit out this dude.

They completely cut the scene of the Jokers death, and the scene with the Joker being carried away in a body bag, because test audiences in the US became "too emotionally upset" at the image of the Joker so closely resembling Ledger when he died.

I think it sucks for a number of reasons, the trial screening was given very close to when Ledger died and they cut an important scene from the movie because of it.

Ledger isn't going to be making any more movies, so why cut out the work he would have been remembered for?

How would he have died? He got arrested

Did you see him get cuffed? Last you saw was him hanging upside down and Batman runs off to stop Dent. You are to assume he is arrested, though.

I couldnt have put it better myself. especially since every movie I remember that dude from, his performance wasnt worth noting.
