This movie works well for the under 30 crowd and over 8 crowd. It is a highly dramatic movie. I loved the dramatic colors, music and scenery. The acting was so-so. None of the characters are believable, but after all, it is Batman. The characters have to be bigger than life and the music has to be overdone. It is a great 'guy' flick or teenage 'girl night' flick as it involves little thinking -- just go with the flow. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman always provide good supporting role acting. The movie is sheer entertainment and acting should not be taken seriously. There is lots of action, the the vivid color makes the movie. Enjoy the tale of Batman and his crime fighting spree.
