Simply the best live-action superhero movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2000)

Just when I thought that the only way to make a good movie from a comic was animation (compare BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM with the awful BATMAN AND ROBIN), this film proved me wrong. Fast-paced, well-designed (mostly, anyway), with good characterisation and the right mixture of comedy and action, this passes the test of successfully blending the 'reality' of the comics world with the 'real' world.
