Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

I just saw this movie today and I haven't been this amazed by a superhero movie since I saw Superman back when I was five. To me, everything about this movie was amazing. I don't even know where to begin.
The story this movie told was very well done. They took a few liberties with the Batman mythos, but the changes were definitely for the better. The acting was top notch. Liam Neeson plays his part to perfection. I had only seen Michael Cane in a few movies before, but I can definitely see why he is such a respected actor with his portrayal of, Batmans butler/father figure, Alfred, and all the rest of the cast are perfectly cast, including Cillian Murphy who plays the Scarecrow in a way that made me and the friends I went to see the movie with think of Johnny Depp for some reason.
The musical score was so good that immediately after the movie, I went to the Meijer across the street from the theater and bought the soundtrack. The action sequences were amazing. I was sitting at the edge of my seat during the whole chase scene with the Batmobile, and I can not remember the last time I went to a theater and was sitting at the edge of my seat. And the big climactic showdown at the end of the movie, I can't put into words the feeling I had watching it. You have to experience it for yourself.
I very rarely go to see a movie twice in theaters, and I honestly can't wait to get another chance to see this movie. I have never written a review for a movie before I wrote this one, but this movie was so good that I felt I had to. Believe me when I tell you this. This is the highest recommendation I have ever given to any movie.
