Great ride

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2005)

I went to see this with my brother in law Monday night,and as my title line said it was truly a great ride.This movie showed Batman the way he was meant to be,a brooding soul traumatized by the murder of his parents,and driven by a sense a of justice.This movie did what none of the others did,explored the reasons he became Batman and how it transformed him.The Bat Cave has always fascinated me,so I found the scenes of how it was discovered and transformed really interesting,as well how he came to possess the Batmobile,suit,and the gadgets.Also,his surprise return to Gotham was cool.Hats off to the whole cast with the exception of Katie Holmes.Very cute,but her acting ability did not impress me.Christian Bale was awesome as Batman,he nailed it perfectly.As for Alfred,Michael Kane was unbeatable.Enjoy.
