I went in expecting 'ok'....

Rating: 9/10 (18 July 2008)

I left the theater with a grin from ear to ear. AMAZING! Absolutely astonishing... fantastic cinematography coupled with great writing and gritty fight scenes... my expectations were FAR surpassed. Easily the best comic-book movie out there.
However, there were a few things that did get under my skin... such as Christian Bale's voice behind the mask. Why does he sound like a nasal congestion victim coupled with constipation? No good. One plot hole that really got to me at the 'fundraiser'. Maybe someone else will notice it? Also, the bike.... ugh, the bike.... a bit cheesy for my taste, but maybe that's just me.
All in all though, it was extremely well done and look forward to the next one being even better, if that's even possible.
