So I thought this was going to be another one of those lame modern batman movies. My first mistake was not realizing that Christopher Nolan directed it. He is absolutely amazing. I expected to see a movie that was barely up to par but when I left the theater I realized that Nolan had shot an eagle, birdie at worst. The cinematography was very good. The fight scenes were very close up, in your face, and swift, just like the batman himself. The first-person view used when someone has fallen victim to the hallucinogen was very cool. I had always thought batman was the lamest super hero because he was just a man with a belt. Not only did this movie make me think much more of Nolan, but it made be think much more of Bruce Wayne. Brilliant movie, beautifully made, and wonderfully portrayed the story of Batman. I can't wait for the sequel, and I highly recommend this to audiences of all ages.
