I fully expected to hate the movie, and in many ways, it’s not very good.   It’s self-indulgent.   Certain scenes go on long after we’ve gotten the point; others make no logical sense.   …

I expected it to be really overrated, especially Heath Ledger, and I am thrilled to report that it was excellent, and that Ledger is really a treat to watch — just an amazing performance, and …
