Dark and well made.

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2005)

The best batman movie with some minor flaws but overly enjoyable. One point that didn't make sense was the water vapourising machines - how come it only vaporised water in the pipes and not in the people? Thankfully I could suspend my disbelief on that point to enjoy there rest of the film. The Batmobile, for example, was a classic big of film hardware design and the acting was consistently enjoyable all the way through (altough drafting in Morgan Freeman and Micheal Cane was cheating).
Well worth the money to watch - well worthy of a Batman continues, or what ever it's called and makes the Fantastic Four look like a ikea flat pack compared to this towering Gothic construction.
Good plot, excellent build up and ending that doesn't fall totally flat (increasingly rare these days).
