This film has had so much hype surrounding it that it would be impossible to live up to it, but surprisingly, it does. Nolan has crafted a well conceived crime story that doesn't put it's focus on the fact that it is a comic book movie, but rather, that it is a crime story which happens to have a comic book character as the protagonist. This film will leave you on the edge of your seat and talking about it long after you've left the theater. It is full of great action, interesting stories and wonderful characters, both good and evil. Brave the crowds and see this immediately.
