Genius
I wasn't a huge fan of Christopher Nolan's first few films (Memento, Insomnia, Following) but this one is on a whole other level in my mind. Takes the comic book format as far as it can go and leaves us wanting more. Christian Bale is the definitive Bruce Wayne/Batman and Michael Caine delivers a truly great performance as Alfred. The entire cast is unbelievably good especially (Gary Oldman, Mark Boone Junior, Rutger Hauer and of course Morgan Freeman)and the script is very well written. Too early to say if its better than the first two Superman films but it certainly gives them a run for their money. The score is also quite good and the editing (pacing) is to die for throughout the film. Why can't more films in this genre be this good? Can't wait till the sequel comes out!
