Surprisingly good

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2005)

The latest installment of the Batman saga takes us back to the beginning and the creation of Batman. Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman is superb, and gives Michael Keaton a run as the best Batman. Bale is far better in the emotional department. The cast of stars including Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Katie Holmes, and Michael Caine all do excellent jobs in their roles. Most importantly, this movie breathes new life into the series. After the past flops, many devoted fans were disenchanted, but this one delivers where the others failed. If you are a fan of the series then you will love this movie. If you are looking for an entertaining movie, then this one will do just fine.
