well worth the wait

when i found out they were making another batman movie last year, i have to say this was unpleasant news at the time. not since batman returns have i enjoyed seeing a batman movie in the theatre. i hate to knock on batman forever and batman and robin...........no i don't! i will say this, its obvious to say that the sequels created after Tim Burton left the project did not live up to our expectations. in all honesty, after Michael Keaton left the project, i think we were all done. no one has been able to carry the cape like Keaton did. up until last night did i believe that. Christian bale i will not say is better than Michael Keaton but if there was anyone who could succeed him, bale was the perfect choice. Christopher Nolan is a talent that is very well appreciated. as a student in film school, he is an inspiration to comic book genre films much like Sam Raimi, Bryan Singer, and off-course Richard Donner. i can vividly remember when i saw the first batman back in 1989. i remember all the hype that surrounded it and i remember walking out of the theatre being utterly amazed. straight up, i can say that i haven't had a feeling of walking out of a movie feeling like a kid in a long ass time. batman begins is worth the $9.00 to see. the conflict keeps, the story moves you and the actors and the production crew help enhance this timeless story to the level it was all those years ago in the summer of 89. thank you Christopher Nolan for giving this film student the incentive to stride for cinema greatness.
