The archetype for comicbook movies to follow

Rating: 10/10 (29 August 2008)

Who said comicbook heroes cannot make serious, profound movies? Who said comicbook hero movies need all to appeal to kid audiences or audiences with short attention spans? According to Chris Nolan, comicbook heroes can be portrayed in movies in a serious, credible and mature manner...
The Dark Knight broke records and prejudices regarding comicbook hero movies...
In comparison, other comicbook movies out this year are infantile in tone, story and target audience...
Batman Begins' sequel is everything a coomicbook should be and more, so much more! It is a fantastic crime story, with a magnificent calculating villain who deploys plan after plan in such a fantastic fashion portrayed by the late Heath Ledger who proved to be one of the best of his generation, together with the phenomenal Christian Bale who again put on the suit in a flawless fashion... Even his 'Bat-voice'resonated awesomly on screen showing more menace than ever...
I was confident in Nolan's mastery, but still this movie blew me away, mainly because it was perfect from script and cast to crew... The rhythm, pace and story unfolding together with camera prowess, excellent editing and phenomenal original soundtrack, all elements of this movie came together perfectly, in a magnificent symbiosis...
THis movie set the bar very high, almost too high for the next comicbook-based movies to come... All comicbook movies will be compard to this movie, maybe not in tone, but in terms of cinematical experience... If not for Bale in a Batsuit, this could be one of the best crime action thrillers I have ever seen... And the suit is almost like Batman putting a bulletproof vest on together with a cops' belt...
All cast was phenomenal and memorable... And a finale that coupled with the already mentioned stupendous OST, left me leaving the theater hungry for more! If a third movie comes to pass, I trust Nolan to deliver an equally, if not more (if that's even possible) magnificent movie than this one, because he doesn't know how to do an average movie... And he's the only director I can see endowing the dark knight we so much love with a sense of realism and depth we don't see in most movies out there...
10/10
