Finally a good Batman movie again!

Rating: 8/10 (13 June 2005)

Wow... I really wasn't expecting much of that movie, but I was really impressed. Of course, Tim Burton is not behind that one, so it's definitely not an "artistic" movie like Batman I & II, but the cast was great and I thought that the plot was really good. Christian Bale is definitely convincing, and with Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Cillian Murphy (oh my god, so gorgeous!) and Gary Oldman (funny, I didn't recognize him...) in the same movie, I don't really know who else we could ask for, they're all simply brilliant! The movie is pretty long but time passed really quickly, and I liked the alteration of action, jokes and deeper stuff, like the introspection that is bound to happen. I only rated it as an 8 and not more because there's a point where you have to compare that one to Batman I and II, which were both 10 in my opinion, and this one just misses that artistic touch that only Burton masters... I don't want to say more because every batman fan (I & II at least) should see this one, and I really hope they like it as much as I did!
