Damn!

Rating: 10/10 (1 July 2005)

This movie rocked the house. I mean, it had everything a Batman fan could hope for. Action, good character development, a strong storyline, and hot babes to boot! Being somewhat of a comic enthusiast myself, I'm glad Christopher Nolan remained faithful to the comics in order to tell his vision of the Caped Crusader itself. When you watch this movie, you WILL believe that Christian Bale is Batman. He completely owns the role in every way. I also liked that all the actors played their roles seriously, and didn't act all cheesy and melodramatic, like some of the characters in the older Batman movies. Although I thought some of the action scenes were edited together a little sloppily, it actually emphasizes that Bruce uses deception and speed to overtake his enemies. Also, I liked the way all the characters had a role in the movie. Even Commissioner (or rather, Lieutenant) Gordon got to drive the Tumbler in the final action scene! All in all, a wonderful film.
Bottom Line: Go see this. Like now. Run to your nearest theater! Now!
