The best Batman adaptation...

Rating: 8/10 (29 January 2006)

The film that tells about the beginnings of the superhero (obviusly), his motivations, why he turned into an outsider if he was a rich guy, where did his anger come from... It is by all means the most dramatic of all the adaptations that have been made from the original comics. Nevertheless it doesn't neglect something that's essential in a superheroes' movie: the action, the spectacular stuff... I don't know if the fans of the comic books will agree with the treatment they've given to the movie, but I have never ever read a Batman comic, so I can just talk about what I've watched in the screen (and about the Tim Burton's adaptations -I haven't watched Batman Forever and batman & Robin either-). And I've really liked what I have watched.
The recreation of Gotham is just perfect, awesome; and the cast is unbeatable: Christian Bale makes a nice splitting work (don't you think that he's resumed his American Psycho character for playing Bruce Wayne??), and the list of the supporting actors is one of the most impressive of the last years: Caine, Neeson, Freeman, Hauer...
Christopher Nolan really knows how to do his job.
*My rate: 7.5/10
