Great Film

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2007)

Being a Batman buff, I wanted to see this movie from the time I saw the trailer. Actually the last films from the batman franchise weren't quite up to the mark. (And I am not even thinking of Batman and Robin). This film was a pleasant surprise. The settings in this movie tend to be dark and convey the depth of corruption in Gotham. Director Nolan (who is great at doing thrillers) sticks to the right attitude for this film. The cast is great and Bale was pretty convincing.Cillian Murphy was pretty cool.The film leaned more on the psychological aspect of Batman than on his physical prowess, which is the way I want it to remain. That's what makes it the most faithful in the franchise.(Tim Burton's original is also close, but Joker overshadowed Batman). Great film for Batman fans and even others would enjoy it. Waiting for the Dark Knight.
