"Robert Downey, Jr.'s performance is nearly on par with what Heath Ledger did as the Joker." -- Joshua Tyler

Well, what does everyone else think? I think Robert Downey Jr. is a great actor but Heath Ledger's performance was legendary and iconic.

Tropic Thunder looks so stupid that I highly doubt that.socked_feet

Damn, that is bold statement to be making. What I wiil is that has got to be some of the best racial make-up I have ever seen (not that has anything do with the acting).

Beyond that...

A) Whatever the case, I am just happy to see Downey's career back on track

B) For whatever it is worth, that one line of his in the trailer, I thought, was pretty funny

omg

Why are people getting so hysterical over Heath Ledger's Joker performance?

It was great yes but "legendary" and "iconic" it was not. Does any else notice this bizarre occurence of group hysteria. Seriously, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
