[Aubrey McFatum]

What I didn't like about this movie

I found the action too chaotic: some scenes are almost impossible to follow. You can't tell what's going on because it is too difficult to see.

The Scarecrow is too weak as a character.

The romantic subplot involving Rachel is misplaced and unnecessary (a bit too similar to Spiderman/MJ romance imo). Not to mention the fact Katie Holmes can't act.

Casting Rutger Hauer for the role of Earle is a waste of talent.

The music is nowhere near Danny Elfman's one for Tim Burton's movies.


What I liked

Bale is a pretty decent Batman (he's even better as Wayne though).

Michael Caine and Gary Oldman are perfect as Alfred and Gordon.

Some of the "darker" scenes are brilliant and truly evocative.

The spirit of the movie is quite loyal to the comics.

The movie in general is really entertaining. It's really hard to get bored with this one.


Overall a cool movie, one of the best superheroes flicks. Maybe not as good as Burton's movies, but we can't always make comparisons: Tim Burton is a genius, but Nolan is a damn good director.
