Wonderful! Darkest yet most emotional,fun-filled Batty movie! Bale unleashes his talents!
Im a real fanatic superheoroes fan (count Spiderman,Daredevil,Superman...i watched them all) and im really proud to say i like Batman most. I mean,Bruce Wayne is rich,intelligent,charming and all stark-handsome.I've watched all Bats-related movies,from Micheal Keaton's brush with Michelle Pfieffer's Catwoman to Jim Carrey's joker or Nicole Kidman the shrink with the hots for new Bruce Van Kilmer,and even to Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin...with George Clooney,Chris O'Donell (his name goes something like that) and Alicia Silverstone (Batgirl).All the above films Batman (1989), Batman Returns(1992),Batman Forever(1995) and George Clooney's (1997) were nice,but a little too bleak.For a start,you might find the visuals effect,other than Tim Burton's,a little too fake. I must say director Christopher Nolan's was a total far cry (thank god).I'm so much a big Christian Bale fan. I mean,this guy is all so cool. He cries,fights,trains and battles with his emotions all so well,he is no doubt the best Batty ever.No one can ever replaced him. You can't ignore this fact. This is perhaps the darkest Batty film ever,as Nolan chose to explore darker themes which include's the deaths of Bruce's parents,his turbulent childhood/young adult years as well as grappling with a double identity as Bruce Wayne by day and Batman by night.Here,Bale shows he is indeed such a good actor of great calibre,he puts the rest of the cast,be it his loyal butler Alfred,love interest Rachel (a very redundant Katie Holmes) or Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson). His painful moments and past,you're sure to feel the agony too as Bale,an ever brilliant actor,plays it right on the cards.It's so good-with the right cast (minus ineffectual Holmes),right script and director,dark moments and a wonderful male lead,i give this film two thumbs up. In fact,i'm looking forward to the upcoming sequel too!!!
