Stunningly Superb

Rating: 10/10 (1 May 2007)

I cannot find anything wrong with this movie. Batman has always been a more complex character than any other from comic books, and in this, he is in his element, portrayed flawlessly by the ever great Christian Bale. The training period, the way the plot goes out, it really is amazing. It fit so well. Christopher Nolan gave back the way Tim Burton portrayed Gotham, but better, but that perhaps is attributed to the fact that there is a lot more things you can do with special effects nowadays. Kudos to him. Liam Neeson is a wise powerful leader, wonderful. Morgan Freeman, Rutger Hauer, rock solid. Katie Holmes is not as good, but definitely up there with the best of them. Cillian Murphy gives a believably evil performance as the scarecrow. A powerful tour-de-force. Bravo to everyone who helped make this movie. Batman has begun.
