Heath Ledger was not a good Joker.
I guess there are two ways of looking at it. Heath's Joker was a compelling character, but he was an awfully loose take on the character.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly isnt the best of the trilogy, A Few Dollars More is.
Totally agree.

I think Jack Nicholson is mostly cringe (Cuckoo's Nest is good) and The Shining is awful.
My first introduction to the guy left a bad taste in my mouth. That was the Joker. He just wasn't anywhere near animated or loud enough.

But he did a killer job in The Shining, and he single-handedly promoted A Few Good Men from a boring 5/10 film to an amazing 10/10 film in one short scene.

He was even a really good pick for the Joker on paper, but for whatever reason it just didn't work. My guess is Tim B kept telling him to tone it down when he would actually try to do a decent take on the Joker.

I guess that could be a hot take for me. Tim Burton movies are just bad. Just straight-up bad. I can appreciate having a quirky, unique style, but not like that.
