Great Movie

Definitely the best superhero movie of our time. It barely even feels like the typical superhero movie we've come to see every summer; it tries to push the boundaries of the genre to bring something much more real and more engaging. It's not the campy, hyper-surreal Batman of Burton's, but a down-to-earth, serious take on the superhero that puts us in a world not so unlike our own and causes us to think about our world in the context of a comic book character (something that is generally, and sadly, lost when comic books are transferred to the big screen). Some of the acting by a few of the performers left something to be desired (Eckhart, Gyllenhaal), and some scenes seemed to be cut short in order to stay within the 2 1/2 hour time frame, but regardless this has to be one of the most original comic book adaptions I've seen made in the past 20 years. Legder gets as close to Hannibal Lector-insane as the PG-13 rating lets him, and was fun to watch (watch for the pencil trick). Bale is still the best Bruce Wayne so far, and still manages to bring that important contrast between his two alter-egos. Caine and Freeman are still fun to listen to, and Oldman's even better in this movie than he was in Batman Begins. Much better than its predecessor (which I found to just be a darker rendition of movies past).
Yes, I recommend this movie.
