Finally someone got it right!

Oh my god! Finally someone made a movie and showed me that Batman could be everything I hoped and dreamed he could. No more of the neon lights and laughable villains of the past. The first Batman of the old series focused on Batman's dark and mysterious persona to strike fear into the heart of villains. Each of it's sequels became more about production and special effects that sacrificed the essence of what Batman is supposed to be. This new series has brought back that fear and drama almost effortlessly. However, do not mistake my words...this Batman has some rather sexy special effects that will keep you satisfied, but they are done tastefully as not to take away from the darkness of the film. If you don't like Christian Bale or have some personal vendetta against him then you might have trouble believing in him, but I found his performance to be splendid and truthful. That being said Morgan Freeman is in this movie...and my good friend if you don't like Morgan Freeman then I don't believe you know what good acting is. I don't believe I've ever seen a movie with him that I didn't like. Some actors and actresses just don't make bad movies and like Cuba Gooding Jr. (although I never have seen Rat Race or Snow Dogs...mostly because I don't wanna risk ruining this fact) Morgan Freeman is one of those. All around excellent movie! And even if you don't enjoy Batman as much as I do (what's wrong with you...j/k) you still get to see some kick arse action and look at Katie Holmes for two plus hours. Enjoy!
