From a true BatFan... Thank you Christopher Nolan

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Obviously there will be people turned of to this movie because of the infamous Batman & Robin... and Batman Returns... and Batman forever... Some people may be turned off because of the unorthodox batmobile that seems to be the focus of many a criticisms. Forget all of that. This film finally takes the character of Bruce Wayne and give him justice. If you have any inhibitions about seeing this movie, forget them. Great cast, great acting, great story. The perfect way to reclaim the glory that Tim Burton brought to the original. I am still in awe of the development of the motivations of young batman. From the very first shot of the bats to the final confrontation with Al-Guhl, the first half of the movie and its buildup of Wayne's character are phenomenal. It only gets better from there. The action, the story, nothing disappointed me and Nolan deserves a lot of respect. The Scarecrow is finally given just praise as a legitimate villain, as he was unrightfully ignored in the first 4 films. While Nolan took some artistic license, it's entirely expected in any superhero film. Bale, Holmes, Neelson, Freeman, all do exceptional jobs with their characters and breathe new life into the Gotham World. With its themes of fear, vengeance, revenge, vigilance, unique social commentary, impeccable tone, and overall authenticity of the Batman Univerise, this is not Adam West's batman. Here's to a new beginning to the Batman Legacy...
