well done

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2005)

Fantastically dark and morbid. This is the character Batman was meant to be. Christian Bale did a wonderful job, as did his supporting cast. It was refreshing to see such character development after watching George Lucas's meager attempt in his past three movies. This movie has found the formula: employ indie directors and actors and the story will sell itself. Batman Begins works on so many levels because it concentrates on substance over style, thus trumping its predecessors. Well done Mr. Noland and Mr. Bale. I look forward to seeing your next installment. My only concern is for the next episode. Who can top the performance of Jack as the Joker. We can only wait and see.
