Wow! Thank you, Oilgun.
That was a fantastic review - from someone who went into the film as a sceptic and came out as a true believer. If I had time I'd transcribe everything he says about Heath down on paper and into the Heath Heath Heath thread. So much praise!
There's just no justice in the world when Heath isn't here to hear all the praise and get all the accolades.
Of course I get really worried when it comes to my own enjoyment of all this when the man said
"If you didn't like "batman Begins, you may not like this one" - since in fact, I thought BB was a long unengaging yawn with oversimplified psychology and over the top yet boring villainy that just went on and on and oooon.
I readily agree about what he said about Katie Holmes in BB, though - so I'm sure Maggie Gyllenhaal vindicates the Rachel character and makes her interesting.
