Loved it !! Go See It !!

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

Well I did get to go see an advance screening of this movie Tuesday night. First preview I saw a few months back I had NO interest in seeing this film. After a few more previews I thought I'll go see it eventually but not immediately. I did get to see it early & was completely surprised. I didn't think Christian Bale would be believable, he was. I really liked how it gave you more insight of how the persona of Batman was developed. Many of us already knew but it is nice to see the story unfold in front of us & not start with a huge explosion and go over the top from there. The beginning was a bit dark but I was hoping for that too as this was "The Beginning" and he was dark, brooding & vengeful in the beginning. It builds a great storyline, gives us a history to refer to now and of course there are cool gadgets, one liners & explosions eventually ( I mean this is Hollywood right?)
