blown away

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2005)

You must have heard it by now: this movie rocks. Apart from the pitch-perfect casting, incredible script, whatever else, what strikes me most about this movie is there is not one ounce of cheese, over-the-top emotions, or a single line of dialog that doesn't seem 100% natural. You get everybody's viewpoint, even the bad guys. Nobody (not even the villains) are self-absorbed. I LOVE IT!!! At least I thought explaining 'batman' and his costume etc in today's time was going to be silly, but no. I buy everything. More!!! Oh yes let me order now those 70-80's batman comic books, they had the same spirit. I have a bad memory, which is why it probably isn't true, but I seriously can't think of any better movie ever made right now. As a side note: everybody thinks Katie Holmes was the only bad casting decision. Well I don't. The point is that in this movie, the love interest does not take center stage, and it is rather a completely believable, normal relationship as it could happen in real life. Why do all superhero movies have to pretend to be a super-sized love story as well? See?
