Unbelievably good. Really.

I can't believe how good this movie is. It's gritty and dark and real, just like Batman should be. Best of all, no wire stunts. That's right, at no point in the movie did a person jump in the air and hang there forever while kicking three different people, doing a back-flip and jerkin' a soda. The fights were realistic (although the jump cuts were so fast and furious that you rarely actually saw what was happening).

Kudo's to the producers for bringing back Rutger Howard. It's nice to see Roy Batty get a little work from time to time.

You have to be prepared to suspend disbelief in a movie like this but it was rarely needed. The only major mistake was having a device that vaporizes all the water that is near it when you turn it on. Since humans are mostly water, wouldn't it kill any humans standing near it?

Other than that it was just perfect.

5 stars ( out of 5 )
