My first movie review.

Ok, so I go to see the new Batman movie with a buddy. I am a bit apprehensive due to the fact that the previous Batman movies have landed just this side of crap suckage. It was much too obvious that the stooges that wrote those scripts only watched the old TV show, and that was their basis for the movies.

Now, on to this latest effort. Christopher Nolan and his crew have actually gone back and read the DC comics. (Or secretly I believe they already had them and just reread them to brush up on the details.) It was well written, directed and acted. The characters weren't charactures of themselves, but believable people trying to make semblance of an imperfect world. The emotional angst of fears, history, and doing what one BELIEVES to be the right thing. Then the consequences of making what turns out to be the wrong choice. Bruce Wayne is just a man. A really buff ass-kicking man, but still ultimately just a man. All the gagets and martial arts training won't carry you that last couple of inches when it all comes down to you and the other guy. It is your ability to stick to what you believe is right.

Thanks guys, you got it right.
