Absolutely Fantastical.

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2007)

This is a movie. A movie of such epic proportions I hardly know what to write. Except that it is absolutely incredible. But with the acting talents of Hugh Jackman (X-Men, Van Helsing), Christian Bale (Batman Begins), Michael Caine (Children of Men) combined with the director of Batman Begins Christopher Nolan what else can you expect. The actors are all perfect for their roles. Scarlett Johansen tends to annoy me but she was actually pretty good in this movie.
This movie takes an in depth look at human nature: Its struggle for revenge, its need to be at the top, and its obsession and duplicity. The pledge, turn, and prestige of this film are all deftly executed and the special effects and symbolism are incredible. All in all, a must see. I will be greatly surprised if it doesn't take home some little gold statues.
