Any one who gave this movie less than nine is crazy.

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2005)

This was by far the best comic book movie I have ever seen. It may be the best movie I can currently remember. Now, I am not a die-hard fan, but I still know more than most about this movie compared to the comic.
The only thing that bugs me are the people who think this movie was bad. I have read and heard many bad things about this movie but most of it comes from inadequate knowledge and not paying attention. First off some people want to know why a company that built a train and hospital has military weapons from nowhere. Well if you watched the scene right before Bruce arrives at Wayne Enterprises, the board is talking about moving the company to military applications. And the fact that Bruce Wayne is in a Chinese prison, is because he left to understand the criminal mind and it's weaknesses, got caught "stealing" and was placed in prison. Explained entirely if you payed attention!
Next is the League of Shadows. The ninjas aren't there to make this another stereotypical movie. I know that before becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne trained all over the world in various martial arts, one of which was the art of being a ninja. This is what allows him in the comics most of his silent entrances and exits. Next are the supposedly clichéd "fear" lines. Went back and watched a lot of movies; Never heard much close to these lines. Another thing people don't like is the purpose of the League of Shadows. They wonder why is an organization that is trying to save the world is also trying to end the lives of millions. If most people payed attention to Henri Ducard, then they would know that he believed in helping people as a whole and not individually. Think about a wildfire in a forest. If you burn off another part of the forest the fire will cease. And I don't see why people are angry that the League sees Gothom as a modern Sodom and Gomorrah (about five reviews hated that).
Batman is supposed to be this dark, get over it.
Scarecrow and Carmine Falcone are "supposedly" worthless characters and are only there to add more confrontation. No. Carmine helped to smuggle in the "fear toxin" through his near complete control of the city and Scarecrow put plenty of crazed convicts in the asylum he ran, to be released when the toxin would be spread. Not to mention he increased the power of the hallucinations.
I know there might be a few things not right with the movie but it is perfect to me.If you still think there is something big wrong with the movie, feel free to email me.
