Right on, Christopher Nolan!

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2008)

There are many reasons that I liked this movie over all of the other Batman movies. Don't get me wrong, most of them were pretty good, but this one stands out, for me, as the best one so far.
1. Christopher Nolan's vision 2. Christian Bale as Batman 3. Heath Ledger 4. Aaron Eckhart 5. Gary Oldman 6. Maggie Gyllenhaal 7. Morgan Freeman 8. Michael Caine
The direction was dark and always intriguing. ALL of the cast members were really very compelling to watch.
The Special Effects fit right in with the mood of the story. The music score by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard was excellent.
Most of all, a superhero movie where the lead character's situation s truly "dark." I feel that is the way the creator of this comic book franchise as well as many other comic book creators intended it to be.
My hat's off to all involved.
