Probably the best action or superhero movie I've ever seen, and definitely one of the best movies I've seen in general. Holy freakin' crap. And yeah, Rachel wasn't one of my favorite characters in either movie... but I adore Maggie Gyllenhaal, so I couldn't complain. I *just* got back from the movie… frakking amazing.

I liked the first half of the 1st one with Michael Keaton, and that was about it. I never went to see Batman Begins, but you know its in our Netflix queue. I always thought that the Harvey Dent fall from grace, was the best under-explored subplot. I’ve heard SO many good things about this movie.
