Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2005)

This movie is perfect. As my friends and I came away from the theatre, completely elated, I wondered if on further contemplation we'd find flaws with it; it's been three days, we haven't stopped talking about it, and we still see no flaws. The cast was ideal; Christian Bale captured both identities, believably making them into one cohesive character--something none of the prior Batmans has managed to achieve. The supporting actors, especially Neeson, Freeman, and Caine, were exceptional; it felt as if these roles had been made for them. The atmosphere was dark, exactly as it should be and the innovative soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard lent itself impeccably to this. If you only go to see one movie this summer, see this movie, see Batman begin.
