Can't really write a review yet, given how easy it would be to spoil various aspects of the film. But, also, it's the sort of movie you have to let settle into your head for a bit. Unlike Batman Begins, which was straightforward heroing, and Dark Knight, which questioned limits, this is something more ( Read more... )
