If you haven't gotten around to seeing it yet, you won't be disappointed.

This movie has absolutely lived up to the hype, and in fact has transcended it. While I believe that a posthumous Oscar nod for Ledger may be somewhat over-the-top and maybe a wee bit premature in terms of performances from other actors we have yet to see, I do believe that he at least deserves a nomination. I think he's more likely to garner a posthumous Golden Globe, and watching him as the Joker really does bring home how his untimely death robbed us of a great talent. He totally inhabited the role and even managed to give me the curious impression that somewhere inside was a nice guy trying to get out and his antics were actually one ginormous cry for help to save him from himself.
I have always said (and this goes DOUBLE for ST09) that you can throw money at a movie and pack it full of FX, but it's the acting that rises a blockbuster above the humdrum, and the acting in this movie was of a quality you'd normally expect to see in some kind of sure-fire Best Oscar worthy issue movie. Everybody looked like they were earning their cash and taking their characters seriously.
I loved the gritty feel of the movie, the shocks, and how it tooks some serious risks in not delivering the usual happy end. It seems to be in a different universe from the days when my dad and I used to roll around the floor wetting ourselves with laughter over the movie antics of Adam West, and it's all the better for that. The moral message was definitely more complex than most movies of its type. First class!

Maybe by deciding not to cut Ledger's parts, they diminished the other characters a bit.
I will be seeing it again on Friday and can't wait.
