Hats off to a reborn Bat

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2005)

Just got back from the film and first must say, it is worth the money. My hat is off to Mr. Nolan for taking a dying franchise and turning it around.
I have always been a big fan of Burton's Batman films and found the last two films to be an attempt to keep up with a newer generation of movies and to attract a larger audience. When i first heard about a Batman 5(a few years ago) I was very skeptical and had made up my mind that another batman movie only make the pain of the last 2 films worse. As the time drew nearer, I realized that I might have been wrong. The good looking cast as well as a stunning trailer convinced me that I should at least give the new film a shot. The back story to this super hero i thought was very original and it made it a very interesting watch.
The movie is a little predictable but still enjoyable. There is action and the character of Bruce Wayne as a man still with fear and pains was well written. I am a little concerned how they plan to tie this new franchise into the first. But if they can pull it off, it could be very awesome.
All in all, the best film i've seen this year by far. definitely go out and see it.
