I wanted the Joker to win

Heath Ledger was that good in the new batman flick. I was so taken in with his portrayal of the Joker that I don't even remember much about the plot or if Christian Bale was any good as the Batman. I went on opening night and the hype surrounding the show was clearly evident. The theater was packed and it seemed to me that everyone was there for the sole purpose of seeing what kind of tricks the Joker had in store. He did not dissapoint. When the Joker was on the screen I was completely caught up in his world. I didn't care what else was going on in the movie. In truth, the movie was dark and long and if there was some moral message, I just didn't care. For me the main reason you should go to this movie is to expirience the Joker. It was so terrifing that it made me smile.
