Fantastic fantasy rises above its genre

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2005)

Went in expecting a couple of hours of fluff action movie escapism, and instead was treated to the best film of the summer.
Having villains who have honest motivations you can almost agree with, and heroes whose vigilantism you can almost disapprove of makes for a movie asking real questions about what is "right" and what is justice vs. vengeance. It's not every movie that shows both sides of a war.
Great and unexpected plot twists, incredible action sequences, especially the big batmobile chase, lush filming, all the explosions an action film should have, and yet a thought provoking story of loss and love after all. A perfect 10, hit out of the park!
