Delivers and then some

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

I saw this film on a special staff preview as I simply could wait the extra 12 hours as I am a huge superhero fan on all levels, from Spiderman to Smallville.
I was slightly sceptical about this film in the beginning because the last batman had seriously rocked my foundations of support. Although after I watched a "making of" on MTV it eased my nerves slightly because you could clearly see the class of the film showing through.
After seeing this film I couldn't have had a greater sense of indescribable.....well....bliss. This is by far on of the best "superhero" type film that I've seen lately, better than the Punisher which I also rated highly. The film is so fast; if you blink you will miss it. The action comes at you from all directions and it isn't just mindless fighting, its carefully choreographed martial arts which you would more expect to see in a matrix film.
It wasn't until I came on here to spread the word of amazement, after calling my friends, that I read that it was an incredible 2 hours 40 minutes. There wasn't a dull moment, you couldn't take your eyes off the screen through fear of missing an important plot point or some high class action This film delivers every single thing that a batman film could ever hope to and then some. All the Bat-gadgets, a gorgeous girl, action and of course Alfred. This film also has a slender dab of subtle humour running through out the film which are funny enough not to ruin the film as with Batman and Robin, yet just enough to make u chuckle.
So all in all, best batman film ever and easily in the running for best superhero film ever. It also deserves to be in the IMDb top 250.
