Out of superlatives

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2005)

Absolutely magnificent! This is the movie all comic book adaptations should fare against. Thankfully Frank Miller himself was involved and he managed to communicate the true feel of his work. Everybody from cast to crew worked with the utmost respect to the original material. They delivered a pure quality film and managed to make it both artistic and entertaining. Performances are excellent, photography is unique, the atmosphere dark and compelling. A breath of fresh air from Hollywood and a proof that there is plenty of talent that can work little miracles. Don't hesitate for a moment to go and watch this. Final note, to the marketing department: Please guys don't spoil it. We don't want to be told how cool this film is. You ruin the whole thing.
