Wow! What a great movie but it was very long. I have to say this was the best movie I saw this year in the theaters besides Star Wars III! The music! The action! The loudness! I can't say I like loudness that much but it seemed to fit in this movie. Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) has to face his fears and what he fears most is bats. His parents own Wayne Enterprises (you'll find out what happens to them early in this movie). This movie finally tells the whole story of the "Batman" series. First the movie actually starts out when he's an adult in a Chinese prison (you'll find out how he got there). This movie has quite a few flashbacks though when he was a boy and a young adult and goes back to the present with his trainer (Liam Neeson) for martial arts and facing all of his fears. Finally, after maybe an hour, he starts doing some hero work with the help of Arthur (Michael Caine)- Bruce's butler. Bruce gets all the Batman equipment from Applied Sciences dept head Lucius (played by Morgan Freeman) in the basement of the Wayne building. The city where the movie takes place is, of course, "Gotham" but it was really filmed in the city of downtown Chicago. There was also a villain in this movie (as there always is) that was quite a frail person but quite an effective and disgusting villain. Although he was quite wimpy, his mask gave him power. In this movie Bruce's trainer surprisingly turns against him (and you'll find out what his evil plan was in this movie) This was a long movie and there are many other things to talk about in this review, but I'd like to give every person that is reading this review to have some rest for your eyes! I definitely recommend this movie to everyone! Movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Oh, by the way, you better go to the bathroom before you see this movie. I'm glad I did.
