A Great New Take on a Classic
While not a comic book fan, I did enjoy the Tim Burton Batman films. However, this new take on the Batman legacy is by far my favorite. It rates near the top with Spider-Man 2 as my all-time favorite super-hero films.The characters were human and the relationships genuine. The chemistry of the cast is fantastic (though I have a hard time thinking of a film I didn't like with Morgan Freeman or Michael Caine). Hollywood cliches are deftly avoided and the "love interest" story line rode the fine line between being the focus of the film and avoiding the irrelevant fluff often seen in action films.This was one of the few films in the past few years that was on my "must have" list.
