Spot on. Good characterisations, good effects, wicked car. Only a few minor beefs. Neeson's character seems to be pretty much just a slightly misguided Qui Gon in modern, but we will let him off 'cos he does it quite well. Batman's voice, a bit too deep and gravelly. It just got on my tits instead of making me think he was dark and scary, again not too jarring. But the fight scenes, ooh the fight scenes. Perfectly choreographed no doubt, but I couldn't tell because the cameraman was drunk. I think they do it to instill some 'realism' or 'thereness' or some such bollocks. Get a steadycam, for fuck's sake. We want to see the fights, not just a blurry bouncing mess. Seriously, it majorly let down the film, and nearly cost it it's perfect score. It was only the car that saved it from being a 5. Aparently the plot and background is a bit out of whack for serious fanboys, I didn't spot it, but there you go.
