Best Comic Book Movie Ever

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

This was one of those rare times where I left the movie theater in awe of what I had just seen. There were some lines/scenes in the movie that were incredible and Christian Bale does an unbelievable job. This is the best comic book movie ever and I am a huge fan of both Spider-mans so it was hard for me to say that. All the secondary actors (Freeman, Holmes, Neeson, Caine) did a great job as well. Holmes performed better than I had expected and Morgan Freeman kicked ass. The fighting scenes had a "dark" quality to them as it wasn't just all action but a lot of lurking in the shadows and stealth methods of taking opponents down. There was less focus on the gadgets unlike Batman's of the past and more of an emphasis on just getting the job done. Every punch sounded bone crunching. This movie was definitely worth the price of admission and I will probably be seeing it again in the near future
