The Action of Spiderman2 and Depth of Unbreakable with Nolan's Darkness

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

That sums it up. The action was enthralling, keeping me on the edge of my seat most of the time and giving me multiple starts, and the characters were so well developed that I felt like I knew them. Nolan skillfully developed the characters with flashbacks and asides as the action of the storyline progressed, so the viewer feels no loss of forward momentum at all. The scenes are dark and twisted, Nolan's style, and give great thrills. The many great character actors (McCain, Freeman, Oldman, and Wilkinson) gave the new Gotham a deeper feel as well, and were a delight to watch. I liked this movie very much and look forward to its sequel.
