The Perfect movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2007)

I've been a fan of Tim Burton's two Batman movies since forever. I truly believed that he had captured the batman character and the villains in the perfect way. Then Joel Schumacher came along and basically ruined everything I had loved about the first two movies. And so I gave up and assumed I would never see another decent Batman movie again.
Then Christopher Nolan came along and not only proved me completely wrong but made a batman movie that is an even better depiction of the caped crusaders than Tim Burton's classics.
But not all of the praise can go to Christopher Nolan. All the actors made their characters perfect; Christian bale is perfect as batman/Bruce Wayne because you really believe that this character will dress up as a bat and fight crime in order to avenge his parent's murder. Michael Caine puts in a great performance as Alfred and Cillian Murphy is a frightening, psychotic villain (even if he is a little under-used... but no matter cos I hear he's coming back in The Dark Knight!) Even the Batmobile (or Tumbler) has replaced the original movie one as my favourite. When I first saw photos of it I thought it was a joke. I genuinely believed it would be the worst bat mobile ever. But when I saw it in the cinema it looked AWESOME! The script/story was as good as they get these days. It wasn't too far-fetched so you could still watch this movie and relate to the characters but at the same time it had that fantasy/superhero feeling to it.
In my opinion; the best movie in recent years.
My only worry now is that The Dark Knight (sequel to Batman Begins) will not live up to our expectations. But I have faith in all the cast and crew.
