[ Mood: Happy ]
So it has finally opened in the UK and I am sitting at my computer for the first time since seeing it. I’ve got to say that I thought it was great! It was brilliant!! It was awesome!!! It was any superlative that you want to enter here …

Despite the name, I feel that was not a Batman film but a Joker one and as such it rocked my world to bits. Heath Ledger was outstanding as the Joker. For me he nailed a perfect portrayal of the dark and twisted clown prince of crime. He was psychotic. He was funny. He was a joy to watch.

Some people have expressed dismay or disappointment with the Joker’s makeup – I loved it. I think it fit in well with his fractured mind and the need to hide the irregular scarring around his mouth.

Finally, I also loved the makeup job on Two Face very much. All my attention has been on Ledger and his take on the Joker and I have missed any talk or pictures of Two Face. I wasn’t expecting something so graphically visceral. Excellent!
