Mp and I just got back. I think it was definitely one of the most intense films that I have ever seen. Two hours in, I realized I had been clenching Mpfunk's hand the whole time and finally let up the grip.
I agree with everything that's been said about Ledger's performance. It was chilling but darkly humorous at points. I definitely think his was one of the better villain performance I have seen, and scarily convincing.
The movie possibly tried to tackle a few too many themes in the last twenty minutes (i.e. what really defines a hero? the importance of honorable figureheads... all is not lost until people stop believing in good.. among other things) but overall, it was an riveting ride.
