Watched it last night at 12:01am, 80% of the theatre was packed - woulda definately been 100% full but that got-dang theatre has the crappiest marketing heads..I mean, instead of Hulk, they chose to play "From Justin to Kelly" a couple years back.. :rant:
Anyhoo.. after Joel Schumacher killed the Bat with Batman Forever & Batman & Robin, I never thought the Bat would ever come back. Then the news that Chris Nolan was bringing him back hit.. I've been excited since, yet also apprehensive - since Michael Keaton defined the on-screen Bat for me.
So I walked into the theatre last night early to get the good seats and from the point the movie started, till it ended I was at the edge of my seat.
This was THE Batman movie, the most definitive ever. In my mind I thought "Mr. Keaton, I've officially retired you from your cape & cowl duties - Christian Bale IS Batman"
My only complaint about the film - why did it have to end?!?
The Gordon-Bats relationship was excellently portrayed and the child-Bruce scenes were emotionally moving. The film was very 'realistic', dark, gritty and for the most part, dead-serious - all qualities which define the Batman mythos.
I'm going again to watch it on IMAX this weekend.
You gotta go see this one guys..I don't know what else to say...:thumbsup:
Everyone stood up and applauded it when the credits played at the end..
