The Bat is Back!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2005)

What can I say that hasn't already been said. I love this movie! The acting is great. The story is great. The visual style is a mix of noir and gritty surrealism. The villains(Cillian Murphy in particular)are finally menacing and not a bunch of goofy looking morons making lame jokes, as in the previous two "Batman" films. I also must agree with many others that Christian Bale may well be the best Batman ever. This movie also had a surprising amount of humor, so as not to drown itself in complete seriousness as some critics were suggesting it did. I loved everything about this film, but my favorite part is the little surprise Nolan has waiting for fans at the end. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I suggest you drop everything and do so. If you have, then see it again, as I intend to do! 10/10
