Batman as a *real* person.

Rating: 9/10 (1 July 2005)

Disclaimer: I do not read batman comic books. I am reviewing this film as a FILM compared to the previous FILMS.
I loved this movie.
have only 2 grips that make me give it a 9 and not a 10.
1) the bad guy's motives were a bit off the wall. 2) the action scenes should have been shot at wider angles, more kung-fu style. But still dark so we couldn't see to much.
I love how the director of this movie threw a lot of batman conventions out the window. He created a lot of new things, the bat mobile going from a shiny sleek car to a tank that wrecks through cement walls.
Michael Keeton still played the most convincing batman, but that movie was corny to the 10th degree compared to this one.
This movie has strangled all the corniness out of batman and made him into a REAL person, not just a guy in a cape who does good deeds. I love how this movie is nothing like the cartoony batman we've seen in the past.
I hope they keep making more! PS: The scarecrow is not only frick'n awesome, but his defeat via stun-gun was hilarious! (in a good way)
