Well Done

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2005)

You rarely expect to come across such a gem, especially in the comic to big screen adaptation category, but I felt that this one delivered across the board. The team may have been inspired by the recent Spiderman deliveries, in focusing on depicting the superhero's human side, as opposed to spending billions on explosions and lasers, but the movie is original nevertheless and testimony to Christopher Nolan's talent.
The cast is wonderful, the special effects are calculated to add to the story, the dialog is well-written, and the screenplay seeks to answer most of the questions that your twisted man will come up with.
This is one of the few movies that I felt like watching again at the theater. I felt that it was well worth the money, maybe you will too. I am also reasonably convinced that it would make a wise DVD investment.
Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne/Batman) 9/10
Michael Caine (Alfred) 9/10
Liam Neeson (Ducard) 9/10
Katie Holmes (Rachel Dawes) 8/10 (Easy Role)
Gary Oldman (Jim Gordon) 7/10 (Unfortunately his great talent underused)
Christopher Nolan 10/10
