One of the Best comic book movies ever made...

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2005)

This movie was so perfectly scripted it should stand as a model for all other comic book superhero movies... what thrills most of us comic book fans is how the hero ends up on his journey and what lies beneath that makes them become and conquer their fears and embrace a new life as a superhero... this movie not only spends a perfect amount of time delving into Batman's origins but also is finally well acted and not over the top like the other ones, or like Spiderman or Daredevil that are so concerned about the action part that they forget the character development and their super power skills.. which in this case is the main part of the movie. Hopefully it will make the Hollywood ignoramus that is blowing out all of these remakes finally realize that people will pay for well scripted character driven stories with great directing and acting...but it all starts with a great script. Even with Katie Holmes who is totally miscast and couldn't act out of a shoe or be considered a heart throb even with the tantallating tight shirt shots she just is inconceivable as a DA Assistant and perhaps might fit as the DA's secretary at most...she is TV material and not a film star.. even if she is engaged to Cruise.. but even her bad acting doesn't spoil such a great film. Enjoy and you'll definitely get your monies worth if you enjoy classic comic book stories!!! A big 10 plus for Batman
