This movie was the greatest comic book movie ever, etc, etc.

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

This is my first time posting on IMDb.com. I've been reading all post both positive and negative, though positive outweighs the negative I must say. This is my review and recommendation.
I am a life long Batman fan, I like the original 2, Burtons works, but a lot of things always bugged me about those movies, too many changes to characters, stories, and in all honesty those films to me, were NOT BATMAN. Then came Schumaker and well I wont get into those.
With this film, before I knew what was going on a lot of things I cringed at, like the way the Batmobile looked, having Ras Al Guhl played by an Asian actor. As time went on though and I saw the trailers everything began to sit better with me. Then I saw the film, I had high expectations for this film and then thought maybe I shouldn't, but then it not only met my expectations, it blew me away. From the second it opens with the music and the bats and the children, to every kick *** fight scene. Yes I will admit some of them are filmed a bit too close but I know there is a reason for that. You see what you need to see. I am the biggest purist when it comes to Batman, and this movie did it all for me and gets me so unbelievably giddy for a sequel I can't imagine being able to hold still for two or three years.
My rating this film is a 10, A+, whatever, my recommendation go see this film, whether your a Batman/Comic Book fan or not, its filled with such a great story and so much action, and is so bad***, that you will get your moneys worth and will like it very much. A friend of mine who has never read a comic in his life from what I know of him, said this film was Amazing.
Go see it, now, please OK thank you./
