My New Favorite Comic Book Movie

Rating: 10/10 (10 August 2005)

To me, Batman is the most mysterious superhero there is. We know about Superman's past. It has a TV show. I was very pleased to see how Batman became what he is. I am not a reader of comics so I wasn't making comparisons. This guy that my friend is dating is a comic book freak and he wouldn't shut up about how this movie strayed away from the comics. At least five people told him to shut up in unison.
I did expect this to be good because there was so much speculation and buzz on it. I was excited to see if it was really good as it turned out. It now ranks with the Spider-Mans and Elektra as my favorite adapted movies.
The direction of this film was spectacular as was the screen writing. I'm hoping that different people aren't brought in for the possible sequel/remake that is suggested at the end of the movie. The acting is also good. The Batman that was chosen was a great choice. I couldn't imagine him being played by anyone else.
I highly recommend this to fans of the old Batmans and any other comic movie. Maybe not so much to extreme comic book fans, though.
