Brits rule Gotham

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

Chris Nolan has shown Hollywood what a fantastic talent he is by making a first class movie about Batman at last. Even if you are a fan of Tim Burton you will really enjoy the plotting, script,setting, acting and action in this film. Also great to see so many British actors (and Irish of course) practising their American accents so successfully. Great idea using Gary Oldman to play the good cop Gordon, he seemed to relish the chance to play against type. Some iconic scenes here including the moment where Bruce Wayne finally faces his fear of bats in their cave and the way he harnesses them to help him escape from the police, wonderful stuff. This compares very well with the fantastic Spiderman series but with a much better script and less cheese.
Here's looking forward to what Nolan does with the Joker, surely there must be a sequel here.
