Well, Christian Bale was good!
Let me start by saying I'm a huge Christian Bale fan! I love the guy and I think he was a good choice to play Batman. This film is directed by Chris Nolan, the guy who did "Momento" and "Following". Two great movies that I highly recommend. Sadly this movie isn't anywhere near the level of those two as far as direction goes. It has a good cast; Micheal Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldmen as "seargent" Gordon, I don't know the actors name that played the Scarecrow but he is very good! And of course Christian Bale. The actor I could have done without was Katie Holmes, (not a big fan).I thought the movie did a good job of showing how Bruce Wayne became able to do what he can do as Batman. It made sense and it was believable if you have an open mind. The movie I think, took itself too seriously though, which made it come off kind of corny but not in a good way. The movie was also VERY predictable!With all that said I would recommend renting this movie. I wouldn't buy it until after you've seen it. It is entertaining!As far as Christian Bale as the new Batman, I think he is very good. MAYBE even better than Keaton, MAYBE!The original Batman is still the best and probably always will be but this was a nice attempt to restart the series, if that's indeed what they're gonna do. The ending lets on to him going after the "Joker", so I don't know if they're gonna make a second movie with Christian Bale or if this was a pre-quel to the original. I hope they do make another one with Christian. I think it would be better than this one.
