This movie got everything right

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2005)

Christopher Nolan just knocked this one out of the park. This is the superhero film we have been waiting for since 1978. Great story, awesome acting, no over-the-top cgi effects, and no villains that seem more suited for the Broadway stage. Christian Bale is a great choice as Batman and his supporting cast is brilliant. The Gotham created for this film looked original and you don't feel like you are on some Hollywood lot. The fight scenes were realistic and impressive. Instead of a choreographed dance like sequence, the fight scenes are all business, just like the ones from the Bourne Identity/Supremacy films. Batman makes the outfit, it does not make him. The film does not take too much time concentrating on his specialized tools. You don't feel like scenes are set-up just to show off these tools. They are merely a means for one man to do the job of many. You don't wanna miss this one and we should all hope that Nolan hopes to match this masterpiece sometime soon with a sequel.
