Surprise, surprise! Big action films can have character, too!

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2005)

Thank you Christopher Nolan & David Goyer!! Thank you for proving that you can make a big-budget action picture that also has the elements of quality film-making, namely plot, character & writing.
These filmmakers have managed to do what we all considered was impossible. It is possible to have character development amongst ninja fighting. It is possible to have great dialogue amongst high-tech gadgetry. It is possible to have solid acting performances amongst green-screen CGI. It is possible to have an interesting plot line amongst explosions and carnage.
All the Jerry Bruckheimers and Roland Emmerichs of the world should take careful note of Batman Begins and learn how to do this genre right.
Quite possibly the best comic book adaption ever seen on the big screen. 10 out of 10.
