August 2, 1947 - September 24, 2010
This is a mismatch, for as good as Marlon Brando was, Heath Ledger was much better.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
two questions (and i am not picking on bruno)
1. are we voting for the character or the performance? and yes, i know the latter informs the former
b. (more a comment than a question) don't forget deniro's performance as vito in part 2. that was something spectacular. i know it says "the godfather" but i believe that characters that are in more than one film are being considered for all of it, yes?
Both.
Touche - De Niro's performance as a young Vito was spot on... however, for me, there are very little performances that can match and/or surpass the raw power of Ledger's Joker. He is such a visual tour de force, such a force of nature, that you cannot take your eyes off of him everytime he's on the screen. I can understand that Ledger's performance , and maybe the actual character of the Joker didn't resonate as strongly with some as it did with others, but for me, personally, it is one of the finest performances of this decade.b.

This one somehow seems an unfair comparison.......but
The Joker. That was one helluva performance. Still Vito (Brando/DeNiro) is the more Iconic Character overall IMHO

I actually thought Nicholson was a better Joker.

You're not alone , I've read a lot of posts from users across different forums that feel the same way.
I respectfully disagree. Although Nicholson's turn as the Joker is memorable, you still get that Jack-With-Makeup vibe. Whereas in Ledger's interpretation, there isn't a single trace of the actor in the character, he completely loses himself in his portrayal of the Joker. Nicholson was good, but Heath was just something special.

I agree with this. It was pretty much just Jack in makeup. (although I've noticed that a lot of the older, established movie stars kinda fall into that trap...these guys just end up playing themselves in every role they're given) I liked his Joker but even back then I felt that he was a little old and out of shape for the part. When that movie came out I thought that Christian Slater would have been a better Joker. But Jack 20 years earlier? That would have ruled.
Michael Keaton is still my favorite Batman though.
I voted for the joker in this poll. And, I think Ledger did a fantastic job. I just think Jack was a perfect cast for the character.. I mean is it that the Joker looks like Jack with makeup or that Jack looks like the Joker without makeup?
I also like Tim Burton's film better, but I think that is outside the scope of this poll.

And here is where the joker loses it for me. Sorry Heath!
See you in the clearing Amanda.
bears don't care either way
Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
