simply the best!

All I can say is "BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!" My hat is off to Christopher Nolan. Before this movie, I had been extremely disappointed with the past two Batman films starring Val Kilmer and George Clooney.
To me it felt like those movies were just kind of "thrown together" at the last minute to try and grab the younger audience by starring popular actors such as George Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenager. The plots were also very dull and dry. It was always the simple "here's the bad guy, here's batman getting the bad guy." This new movie actually makes Batman into a STORY that people want to see nowadays in movies. From the very beginning it begins filling you in and then constantly adds something to keep you at the edge of your seat. And talk about an unexpected turn in plot. I'm not going to spoil the story, but I will say I wasn't expecting the ending. The crew and film producers and directors did an absolute FABULOUS job with the movie and locations. And as far as casting, BRILLIANT SELECTION. Christian Bale plays the perfect Bruce Wayne, and the choice of Katie Holmes as a woman that plays someone working for the DA was perfect as the "very attractive, yet professional look." To put it lightly, the movie was a GRAND SLAM!!! If I were Warner Brother's and DC Comics, I would be BEGGING for the cast and crew to go ahead and just remake the previous Batman movies if they can pull them off like they did this one. My hat's off to these guys!
