Ledger was awful

I was quite disappointed with the movie. The first one with Bale was outstanding.

I'm afraid this hype about Ledger is just the studio taking advantage of his death to make a buck. His performance was terrible -- unclear, uncomfortable and annoying to look at rather than entertaining, and completely no communication of the character. He was unfocused and unsure -- his hazy portrayal reminded me that he had been using a lot of drugs and his focus probably suffered. Also, he lacked the age and gravitas for the character. He was miscast and did a poor job even for him.

Though apples and oranges, I'd give Nicholson 5 stars and ledger maybe 1 star. It was be mass media hypnosis if he got an Oscar nomination.
