Nolan is a Genius - BEST MOVIE of the year by a mile

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2005)

I read some serious comments of people that didn't like the movie so much because it was kind of slow or that just liked the Batman parts... Well, if you loved the Spiderman and X-men movies then this movie is not for you.
Brilliant, Intelligent, Excellent casting, Excellent performances, great visual effects (i'm mentioning it only because this is the only movie that i have seen in a long time where CGI effects are not just used in an abusive and obvious way), breathtaking story.
The director Christopher Nolan proved us with Memento that he is a genius, with Batman he proves that he never underestimates his audience and that the Hollywood magic is still alive (well, maybe just delivering one or two good movies per year, but it's alive!). This movie without Nolan would be just another Batman movie, now it's impossible to conceive any new Batman movie without Nolan directing it.
Christian Bale was simply amazing, he delivers a level of intensity that will remain in your head for days. He is simply not in the same league than most of the new actors. It's hard to wait for his next movie.
Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Rutger Hauer, Morgan Freeman, Ken Watanabe... Hollywood and zillions of dollars can't put all these fantastic names together, Intelligence and Art can.
If you are between the ones who are still comparing the other Batman movies with this one, then stop reading this and go watch the new "Fantastic Four" movie, you will probably enjoy it more and won't see the difference between that "super hero movie" and this one.
