I was never really big into comic books when I was a kid, although if I had a favorite superhero when I was kid it was Captain America, and I'm not really big on superhero movies, but my son is. We saw Thor, and I thought that was OK. Captain America was very good! I'd save 5 stars for the classics, but this definitely gets four.
I'm not usually into this kind of movie. I didn't see any of the previous Batman movies. I only went to see this because my son wanted to go. I'm glad I did. Great movie!!! The casting was perfect. I especially liked Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox. You've got to see his response when the dweeby accountant says he's going to expose Batman's true identity. Go see this movie!
