Best Batman yet!

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

I've never been a big fan of the live-action Batman films, but this one is so different! Although darker than most people may expect, the action and acting do not disappoint! Christian Bale is amazing as Bruce Wayne/Batman. If you can look past her recent publicity chaos, Katie Holmes does a fine job as Rachel Dawes (I also recommend her film "Pieces of April"-excellent as well!). I have to say it is a treat to see Gary Oldman in another non-villainous role (Sirius Black, anyone?)! With Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Tom Wilkinson, the cast couldn't get any better! The set locations are beautiful, especially the scene on the ice between Bale and Neeson. I HIGHLY recommend this film!
