Best Comic Book Movie EVER!

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2005)

I wouldn't know where to start. I knew if this movie wasn't the best comic book movie ever, I would've been disappointed. Going in, I have the highest expectations ever. Nolan? Bale? Freeman? Neeson? Oldman? You're kidding me right? If this movie flops, it would be the biggest disappointment of all-time.
No exaggeration, this movie makes Spider-man feel gay and X-men's wolverine feel soft and I loved the SM & X-men movies. It's dark, it's scary, it's real and much much more.
Kudos to Nolan for making the movie all about character development for Batman. Good for him. I see a lot of people complaining about the fight sequences. I have no idea how stupid some of these audiences are. Fact : Nolan did those fighting sequences like that on purpose to focus in on the whole "stealth/ninja" gibberish. It was totally believable on my part.
Christian Bale. WOW! This is a huge achievement on his part. How do you go from playing Trevor Reznik at 120 lbs to bulking up like that within a few weeks to audition for Batman? Dude is a genius. He is the best Batman by far. I mean obviously second best would be given to Michael Keaton but he looks too old for a Bruce Wayne.
I hate Liam Neeson. I hate Gary Oldman. I don't mind Michael Caine. I love Morgan Freeman though. It didn't matter. All of the supporting cast except for Holmes kicked ass. I'd like to take this time to say Liam Neeson was probably the best performance other then Bale himself.
People will say it over and over and over again and the reason this movie worked so well was because Batman is real. He doesn't have super power and all that mambo jumbo to make him who he is. He's real. He's human, he bleeds, he can be destroyed.
I also like the fact that the movie really zooms in on Bruce Wayne being the mask of Batman and not the other way around.
I could go on and on and on and so forth but this is so far the best movie of the year competiting with Millers Sin City and it is by far the best comic book movie EVER. If this is what we're in store for when it comes to X-3 or Spider-Man 3 or even Batman 2, then pardon my french but Jesus Christ! A
