Excellent, considering

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2008)

Hands down the best movie you could make about a guy who dresses up like a bat and fights crime. I was more than happy to suspend my disbelief in this film, because its really not a super-hero movie. What you have is a movie that would have still been very very good even without the title character. Nolan and his DP have done a great job, and the VFX supervisor deserves the noble prize for so bravely steering from CG whenever posssible. Heath Ledger may very well win an Oscar for this, that sounds crazy but you'll agree after you see it. That is not say this film is devoid of a few comic book like elements, but that is certainly understandable considering the source material.
One of the best movies of the year so far.
