One word... Perfect!

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2005)

This was an absolutely amazing movie, from start to finish. Many are complaining that the first 40 or so minutes are kind of boring, however, I found these minutes very important to the movie. Performances were outstanding. Christian Bale was perfect in his duel-role as Bruce Wayne and Batman. However, I believe that Cillian Murphy was the standout in the cast. Not hearing of him much led me to be very surprised of the kind of performance he turned out. Michael Caine was great as Alfred, Liam Neeson was great in the role he played. Ken Watanabe, Tom Wilkinson, and Katie Holmes all turned in great performances for Christopher Nolan, who did an absolute exceptional job creating a realistic world in Gotham City.
Far and away the greatest comic book movie I have ever seen. Will probably be the best movie I see all year.
