I love this movie - Batman finally gets his proper treatment

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

I am a big Christopher Nolan fan, so when I heard he was making this movie, I was excited. When I finally saw it tonight, I was definitely not disappointed. I was gripped from the opening shots. Witty, ironic humour mixed with drama and excellent action all made for a gripping tale for this soul. To me, Bale looked fantastic in the bat suit - so much so that it didn't look like Bale at all. I thought the rest of the cast were perfectly placed, particularly Sir Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. As a fellow Ulsterman, I was very happy to see Liam Neeson doing his thing here. Cillian Murphy was very good as well, as far as I'm concerned - he was the source of some quite chilling moments. There are some nice twists along the way.
I hope they make a sequel - the ending is quite ambiguous...
