Good Film

Rating: 9/10 (29 July 2005)

I love Nolan's work. Ever since Memento, I have become a huge fan of his. The idea of bringing the past to relate to the future is brilliant. I love the way he likes to be one step ahead of his audience and it really keeps you at the edge of your chair wanting to know more and more. I was kind of caught off guard with Bale being batman, but overall, I think he did a terrific job. I guess it was weird for me because the last movie I saw him in was Swing Kids and that goes back to when he was 17 or 18. Anyway, I hated the fact that Katie Holmes was in this film. I suppose she did a good job, but I was never a big fan of hers and I always thought that she acted in some really bad movies. This movie though was a re-invented batman. The whole production and idea behind batman was re-invented. The previous four Batman's were all connected somehow, but when this one came out, it gave a new story. I highly suggest you get this film on DVD/VHS to see for yourself. Watch closely, because Nolan does like to go back and forth constantly as the movie keeps going.
