Nolan has mastered the art of film making

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2008)

As a fan of Batman since my early days i must say that this movie is, by far, the best "comics-based" picture ever made (and one of the best movies ever). Sure, X-Men and Spiderman have placed this kinda films on a new level - but this Batman generates something beautiful and unique! Everything is perfect - the actors, the suits, the enemies, the good guys, the "mafia". Nolan demonstrates the Gotham's Police corruption and the "grey world", not that kinda "black/white" maniqueism always present in this kinda stories. This is the real world, with real heroes and real villains. There are Ethics involved, moral issues - actions that determine life and death. I don't remember reading a Batman comics so good as this movie - well, maybe "The Killing Joke". What i want to say is: this movie is the perfect (yeah, perfect) adaptation of a Batman (or any other comics) story. Plus, it is not only a superhero story, but a marvelous and well-crafted story. I left the cinema with an uneasy feeling, a certain something that i can not describe - this movie brought to me a new light. I believe this movie should run for the Oscars - it's time for the Academy to stop being so narrow minded...
