Ledger was my favorite villain in the trilogy. But I think Michael Caine gave the best performance in the entire trilogy, particularly in TDKR.

Yeah, he was great there, can't argue with that.

I still say that Aaron Eckhart was better than Ledger, personally.

This I 50% agree with. I know that sounds strange as hell, but I can't really explain it any better.

I suppose I could say that I found Eckhart to have a better stage presence than Ledger, in that I think his scenes were generally more impactful, but at the same time he was really pushed to the side as Two-Face and really didn't get nearly enough screen-time to show off his vilainous side, IMO, so in that regard I still found The Joker to be the more effective villain of the movie, but I can certainly see where you're coming from in preferring Two-Face.

Pretty legit. I actually think I agree with you.

And you also said TDK Two-Face was better than BTAS Two-Face. Go play in traffic.

How popular/unpopular an opinion would it be for me to say I actually liked the LotR movies more than the books?

Why do you always have to ask stuff like this?

Well, I don't think it's THAT much of an unpopular opinion, at least not on here at least, since I know that a few people agree with you.

Except for Chalmey. He just doesn't like LOTR. :P

I like the books more than the movies, myself, but I think the movies are also probably the best possible adaptation you can make of the books to begin with. If it played things far too close to the source material, a lot of it wouldn't translate well into film, so the adaptation was made perfectly in terms of fitting an epic story into 3 sizable length films, without making the pacing feel too fast or too slow, and that's pretty much all I ever could have hoped for to begin with.

Didn't you previously state that you don't plan on seeing the trilogy?

Yep. As far as I'm concerned, the books are enough of an experience for me.
