Simply Stunning

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

I rarely feel a film achieves such high accolades, but "Batman Returns" is simply stunning... a real surprise.
May I recommend you read as little as you can about this film prior to seeing it. Don't spoil what's in store for you. It's just that damn good.
"Batman Begins" leaves the Vaudeville, juvenile antics of past Batman films for a fresh new perspective; a tangible story not based unreal mythical notions - on the contrary, it is presented as a mature and harsh realities life story, quite believable for the very first time. This is accomplished through its exceptionally well produced script and phenomenal all star cast, its vastly detailed story and character development - this is film making at its finest.
CAUTIONARY NOTE: A child (preteen) will be more than likely bored not being able to sit through the very long story and character development. Nor, do I feel this film is appropriate for preteens. The implied dark violence is far more reaching in psychological impact being reality based in its method - it is far removed from previous surreal environments as its predecessor's were. This is an adult film dealing with adult issues.
Enjoy.
