This move was superb! I am just in awe. After all those years of pathetic excuses for a a Batman movie they finally got it right. *bows to Nolan* Thank you, thank you, thank you!
There was actually good acting. Before the only good acting in Batman was done by Jack Nicholson as the Joker, Jim Carrey as the Riddler, and Micheal Keaton was an okay Batman. But this. This was just awesome. Christopher Bale was the perfect Batman. He was dark and brooding. I loved how he did the deeper voice when he was Batman. Liam Neeson was wonderful. Gary Oldman was perfect. Michael Caine was the perfect Alfred. I had heard a lot of bad reviews for Katie Holmes before I went, and I was expecting her to be terrible, but she really didn't bug me. Yes, she wasn't as good as the rest of the cast, but I don't think she did badly. And finally, my favorite, Cillian Murphy was perfectly evil and crazy! I've seen Murphy in a couple other things and he was always a good character, so even though I trusted he would do fine, I was curious to see if he could be evil. He was so awesome! In my opinion any time he was in a scene you automatically watch him. He took an (in my opinion) uninteresting villain and turned him into someone to be feared.
I was so grateful that there weren't any cheesy lines thrown in. In fact, I can't remember one line I didn't like. I went with my two sisters and my mom, and one of my sisters and my mom got a bit confused by what was happening. I think this is because they never read comic books, and as a result are not used to the plots that are involved. If you are not a comic fan it may be a bit difficult to understand, but I think if you pay close enough attention, you'll get it. This movie is definitely worth seeing!
