Good, but not even near "Batman" from 1989

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2005)

This is good, but a little bit to slow. I prefer Batman in front of this. Sure Christian Bale is good, and it is amazing that he pulled it of to go up several pounds for the Batman - role. Chris Nolan has find the right mode for the film, and this is the best comic - book-film since Spiderman 2 and Hellboy. The city is not too dark, but not too bright either. Gary Oldman is perfect as Gordon, and Morgan Freeman is solid (as always) as Lucius Fox. In fact non of the actors are bad. They are almost as solid as in the first Batman. But still this one feels a little bit 2005 to be as much of a cult - classic that Batman 1989 is.
