An enjoyable thrill ride

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2005)

Seeing the first previews of the film, I wasn't that excited to see this new one. Although I was expecting a darker version, much like the original, I wasn't expecting this one to actually outdone it.
The story was well written and I liked the way everything was explained to the audience from the training to bat suit, car and so on. The cast was also chosen very nicely. I only would have chosen someone a bit older (or older looking) for Rachel's role, and someone different for Dr. Grane's part (I couldn't help notice he was looking a bit gayish?).
All in all the movie really kept me in my seat. Sure, the action scenes were a little too fast to follow, but it had this great tension all the time. Not just a great summer film, a great film. 9/10.
