Waterpup

I went to see this movie last night and the movie was ok and I understand all the hype behind it only because that’s what they do these days. Hype the living shit out of every movie that comes out.

What I don’t understand is this Heath Ledger as the Joker hype. His role was fine but his character while of course important to the movie did not make the movie. I thought with all the Heath hype it would have or should have brought the movie over the top.

Let’s compare it to the first Batman movie where Jack Nicholson as the Joker literally made that movie. Without him playing the role the way he did the Batman franchise probably would never had seen a second sunrise.

Anybody else see The Dark Knight? Am I missing something here or did they pump Heath Ledger’s role up because he kicked it? I think so. Jack still rules as the Joker to me.
