Extraordinary special effects, Spectacular sound and Great camera work..

Rating: 9/10 (13 March 2010)

The acting, the special effects and sound in this movie has to be the best that I have seen to date.
Director, Christopher Nolan did an outstanding job putting all the pieces together for this masterpiece. Christian Bale in my opinion played the best role ever as batman and I don't believe anyone will ever be able to outdo Heath Ledgers portrayal of The Joker. Although most people only see the two main characters I think Aaron Eckhart was great as Harvey Dent/Two Face and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes.
The whole concept of this film is the good versus the bad. Batman has all the neat gadgets and toys to physically defeat anyone but in reality Can he defeat the mental game of the Joker. The joker is continually playing the mental game with Batman trying to break him down and get him to reveal himself to the entire city of Gotham.
During the action scenes such as Batman flying the camera angles used made you feel as you were Batman rather than standing on the ground watching. Even in the scenes where Batman is riding his motorcycle that was morphed from his car you felt as if you were on the bike with him. The cameramen did a nice job of getting us up close and into the action of the scenes. This entire film makes you feel as if you are a part of it rather than a spectator.
The sound effects of this movie were in my opinion the best I have ever been privileged to hear. I saw this movie on a system with Dolby digital sound and it was absolutely fabulous. During an explosion in the movie not only did you hear the explosion but you also the smaller pieces of the building hitting the ground. I noticed the same kind of precise sound when a window was broken, not only did you hear the big crash but you could still hear the small shards of glass hitting for a few seconds into the scene.
I see a lot of comparisons to the Spider man series of films but in my opinion Spider man doesn't even come close in quality to that of the Batman series. In batman I believe there are a lot more high tech gadgets and toys that really propel this movie into setting a higher standard for movie makers.
I really thought the scene where Batman has decided to call it quits and clean out his warehouse and the lights go out one row at a time as he is walking away was done superbly, it almost gives you a feeling of sadness. Great movie!!!
