There is an awful lot of praise being heaped on Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight." I believe it's hit it's highest now, with people (read: critics) actually hinting that he may get an Oscar nod for his final role.
Obviously, I haven't seen the film yet, but this just smacks of hyperbole. Now, I may be eating crow after I see the film, if he truly does deserve this type of recognition. But for now, I just think the critical world needs to slow their proverbial roll, and let the performance do the talking. The movie isn't even out yet!
So, what do you think? Is all of this praise warranted?
