i loved jacks version for years but till heaths came out, i was blown away at how perfect they made the characteristics of the clown prince of crime
sadistic, clever, always 2 steps ahaead of everyone, charming, plays with ur head and emotions,a petty thug with the mind of a crime boss and just enjoying every single moment of chaos hes creating
well see in another 10 -20 years when they remake batman again and try to top heaths perfomance with another joker, highly doubt it
fuck off, put some good movie that deserves the award. everything else is amazing though. but that fault destroys it all.
HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY is not a HORROR movie.
BEST DIRECTOR should have been CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (THE DARK KNIGHT)
The DVD lists
Other than that, great list.
Mary Zophers did do a fantastic job at costume design for IJ4.
And I disagree with the best director award. For me it'd be a toss up between Christopher Nolan & David Fincher.
