Rating: 5.0
Best yet
I personally think this is the best Batman movie to date. The story, although cartoon in character, leads the audience on a journey that's almost believable. We witness the spiritual growth of a tortured soul who's parents had been killed by a down and dirty, mid-city mugger. Bruce Wayne had disappeared from civilization only to be found hiding at the far reaches of humanity in a personal depression. We view his rise from someone searching for revenge and vengeance to a concerned and vigilant citizen trying to right the wrongs of corruption and crime in society. And although Batman is good, he is a dark hero and he really enjoys hunting and playing with his prey. Perhaps a touch of evil lurks inside the masked crusader himself.What a great cast of actors, Christian Bale who plays Batman and a supporting cast of great talent: Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Tom Wilkinson, Rutgar Hauer, Ken Watanabe, and Morgan Freeman. This is the first time I have seen Katie Holmes in a film - disappointing.I saw this DVD on a home theater, wide screen TV and I was very impressed. The cinematography is exceptional and so is the great musical soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. Christopher Nolan is a very good director, coming from classic films like Memento. He rose to the occasion with this film, making it the best off the series. I look forward to more from Mr. Nolan.
