...and not the hype, but the actual performance.
It was brilliant, consistant and captured the essence of the character here portrayed as an unbalanced anarchist.
Nicholson was just playing Jack on steroids.
Follow Ups:
I can appreciate the criticism of Jack Nicholson -- he was Jack on steroids and for me that was very entertaining. He also had clarity of performance.
I think everyone else should give ledger's performance a second look. He was genuinely uncomfortable and very annoying to watch. He offered no clarity of the character. The makeup and look was an interesting version. He struck a coule of poses that were visually interesting -- like when he sat in jail. Still, I say he was terrible and miscast.
Maybe people are wowed by this "version." I believe people are heavily influenced by the hype. I'd imagine the studio has made many extra millions by exploiting ledger's death. His death without any exploitation would bring in extra millions. Having studio shills out there praising it as incredible when it simply isn't has no doubt benefitted them even more.
I felt he was a fairly ordinary actor, capable of common type characterizations. He was way out of his element and it showed.
all due respect, that's got to be the most misguided review I've ever seen.
Miscast? Uncomfortable? No clarity of character?
It's you against the world. About 99.99% of it...
