What else to say but EXCELLENT?

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2005)

I was ready to go right back into the next show. Although nearly speechless, I'll try to explain what makes this movie the greatest cinematic experience to me since LotR.
The story, acting, directing, simply all the ingredients, were perfect. Christian Bale IS Batman and Bruce Wayne (very important). While the movie is quite long, you wouldn't want to miss a second as the child Bruce goes through his painful development to become what is Batman. It's believable. All the supporting roles add what the movie needs, it's fun to watch Freeman, Caine and the others. The dialogues (even translated which is usually the death blow to mediocre ones) are great and the Sound track too! Gotham city is awesome. I could go on telling you forever. Minor inconvenience is Katie Holmes who's not doing bad at all, but fails in one key scene to bring IT across. Thankfully Christian Bale is not stopped by that. And I'm grateful that the fights don't show every single kick and hit. You get to realize that there's a dangerous fight but you don't have to watch every single movement. Still, it's not made for children, and although I like bats, I'm going to watch out for them in the next cave I enter.
THANK YOU Christopher Nolan!!!
PS: And I love the new outfit!
