It gets it all right

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2005)

I was expecting just another Batman movie, although I had heard this one was quite good and allowed myself to hope it would be. I walked out of the theater thinking they got EVERYTHING right.
Intriguing plot, perfect casting, impeccable pacing, special effects that were beyond what was necessary without being distracting, amusing without being silly, truly frightening in parts, and the best job of rationalizing and explaining everything about the world of Batman... This was a great movie.
I'm going to have to see it again. I just can't believe I've finally found a film that gets everything right, and with a licensed property even.
