Better than Spiderman, but not quite as good as Batman (1989)

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2005)

The plot was really cool. You'll enjoy seeing how Bruce Wayne becomes Batman in this really cool alternate world of Gotham. You'll see such classic characters such as Alfred, Gordon, and Bruce Wayne's parents. The effects looked good. The fight scenes were cool. Batman's costume looked like what you'd expect from a Batman movie today, but it's a bit different. You'll really fall for this Bruce Wayne. The characters are all played very well and very likable. In my opinion, it was better than the Spiderman movies, but not by much. This movie was a tiny bit more believable than Spiderman; which makes it really fun. I still don't feel it's a better Batman movie than the original from 1989 per se. Furthermore, it's not supposed to be an apples-to-apples comparison to the originals. However, I enjoy the fact that it's an alternate story line and maybe we'll see some more movies in this new Batman franchise. They can make Batman fight some of the original villains and do it right this time. This movie has some cool twists too. The director did a good job putting this together. You'll really enjoy it.
