Greatest Comic Book Movie EVER!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2006)

Batman is back! and he's meaner, tougher, and more like Bat-Man then ever before! This is Bat-Man, this is how he's supposed to be portrayed on screen. The Cast is perfect with the exception of Katie Holmes. Everything works dramatically, from the training scene in act 1 to the transformation into the Batman in act 2, and to the grand finale at the end of act 3.Christian Bale nails the roles as Bruce Wayne and Batman (he just about nails every role he's in) He plays it straight and adds a scary as hell voice to an already brooding Dark Knight!The rest of the cast is exceptional! This movie is unlike any other comic book movie ever made.First off the director is Christopher Nolan, not a blockbuster, mega, stupid director. Nolan is smart and helms an intimate, realistic, emotional film of the dark knight! The cast is the best cast ever assembled for this type of genre! The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking! thanks to Wally Pfister! This movie is so special because it's not a comic book movie, it's just a great movie! wonderfully acted! superbly directed! etc. etc. Let's hope the sequel will be made in this fashion! With Nolan on board it would be hard to imagine otherwise! **** out of ****!!!
