It has been a long time coming and when it ended, I wondered what if Heath Ledger continues to live. His posthumous Oscar win for his role as the enigmatic and twisted Joker in 'Batman: The Dark Knight' has obviously magnified his star quality, which in turn, had increased expectations on his future roles. Ever recall the memorable roles portrayed by the versatile and charming Johnny Depp? Heath Ledger gave glimpses of how he could have done pretty much the same in his brief appearance in 'Imaginarium'. What a huge pity.
The death of Heath Ledger must have surely disrupted productions in the film and I felt it was a little jerky in some parts anyway. Nevertheless, director Terry Gilliam did a remarkable work in tightening up those jerky moments.
In this visually stunning extravaganza, imagination plays such a crucial role. The cast is extremely likable too. Look out for Johnny Depp's turn as Tony (Ledger).
Rated 3.5 out of 5. Apart from those jerky moments, it is worth it.
