This movie brings "our generations' " Batman fully into life; his quirks, his fears and of course, the villians he loves to battle. Cannot say enough about Ledgers' performance- it was superb. Christian Bale has my vote for Batman, as he seemed to jump off the screen for me. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine are no slouches as they bring depth to their roles. The 2.5 hours flew by and I was ready to see the next one that day!
This was a really fun movie! It was action packed, did not take itself too seriously, and the "campy" bits were not overdone. The row in which I sat was packed and everyone was laughing and paying attention at the same time! I think this is the mark of a good movie, holds one's attention and helps us laugh at life.
From opening scene to the end this movie grabbed me and did not let go. The film remained faithful to the book and gave enough information for those who may not have read it, or had it read to them as children. I did not want this one to end and kept the "Narnia" feeling well into the next day. Definitiely a movie to see again.
