this movie ... was absolutely amazing

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2005)

i honestly feel that this is the best batman. i was a huge fan of the original franchise (one and two that is) and how michael keaton portrayed batman back then. after keaton though, i was disgusted with val kilmer and george clooney taking the part. they just don't have the batman feel to them ..
however, Christian bale i feel did a better job then all three of the previous batman's. he was amazing in this part, in fact i would go so far as to say that this was the part he was "born" to play so to speak.
now, as for the movie itself, it was excellently done by christopher nolan. i loved his work in insomnia and memento - especially memento - but this blew my mind. it gives you a very good look at how batman .. well became batman. i mean we always knew that bruce wayne was fighting criminals because of how his parents died, but this gives you a good look as to how he learned how to fight, and a little bit more behind the whole scheme of it.
i wont say anything more, because i don't wanna ruin the movie for those who haven't seen it yet. but there's always that one sleeper movie of the summer, the one we all expect to be okay, but not the blockbuster. this absolutely owned war of the worlds .. and it will be the summer blockbuster of the year in my opinion. best movie since sin city that i have seen at least.
there better be a sequel .. and it better have Christian Bale as the new batman for this new franchise.
10 out of 10, excellently done.
