I am not a Batman fan. Not a follower, not a comic book reader, not even well associated with the genre except for the Adam West series on the tube when I was a kid.
I AM a lover of action movies and this is absolutely one of the best that I have EVER seen. Almost from the opening credits, the viewer is catapulted through two and a half hours of action - from explosions, to wild street chases, to fist fights, and on and on and on! What a wild ride!
Unbelievably, my date and I walked away from the Theater and her comment was "There was no foul language and they never smacked you in the face with goriness". She was right! The goriness was implied, but never shown. The fear was palpable, but you were never forced to keep your stomach down like in many other action movies that supplement the action with a healthy dose of gore.
It was good old fashioned fun! A wild ride that was entertaining all the way from beginning to end!
My only complaint? If you didn't see the first Christian Bale "Batman" movie, you miss some of the inside references that are part of the storyline going into this movie. Not a standalone as far as the storyline goes, but you can immerse yourself in the story being presented and not really missx out too much. I definitely recommend seeing the prequel before seeing this film - it makes the story so much meaningful if you have. If you haven't? You're still in for a GREAT time!
Highly recommended!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
