very good adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2005)

this is by far the best adaptation of a comic book movie to date, let alone from the batman comic books. the dark approach was finally achieved in a way that tim burton could only dream of, and Christian bale, despite having a strange voice for the role, did a very good job of capturing the essence of batman, displaying the most convincing batman performance yet. they finally decided to make batman athletic, and the suit wasn't nearly as big and bulky in this as it was in the previous films, enabling him to move around and perform acrobatic feats. this movie is a must see, and i would recommend it to anybody, regardless of whether or not you're familiar with the comics
