Wow. Joaquin Phoenix knocks this straight outta the park. His performance is so good and so different from Heath Ledgers that they can both exist and both be regarded as fantastic.
I love all the different takes they did with this movie, acknowledging Batman lore and creating some of its own. The cinematography and lighting. Amazing. The color palette... beautiful. The score stood out as a great compliment to what was happening.
I can gush on and on about this movie, but for now I won’t. I just wanted to say the third act is what took this to the 5 star level for me. Can’t wait to watch this Oscar worthy performance again!
