Ledger's last..but not the only reason to see this

In my opinion, one of the most underrated films of the past year. Another brilliant effort by Terry Gilliam. It's a story of Good vs. Evil, God vs. Satan. That is done with outstanding visuals, the best of the year quite possibly. (Even though this had a wide release in '10 it was eligible for the 09-10 Oscars because it hit the major cities in '09 and was nominated for two Oscars losing both). Of course, the main story behind this is the death of Heath Ledger during the making of this film, but the addition of Depp, Law, and Farrell to finish his scenes works wonderfully. But, the performance of the movie was Tom Waits as Mr. Nick (The Devil). I would've liked to have seen more scenes with Depp, in fact just use him, not Law and Farrell. My only complaint with the film, as in almost all Gilliam movies was the ending was slightly confusing, mainly the scene with "God" on the hill and Farrell trying to climb up it...I won't say anything else. But good none-the-less, a must see.
