Movie Review
Wow. Badass car, a hottie, intense action, humor, and ninjas? 'Tis the trappings of an excellent Hollywood blockbuster. But still, it was easy to go into the movie as a skeptic, the previous Batman movies were far from stellar. To add to this doubt, the last couple movies feature large ensemble casts (Troy, Alexander, Ocean's 12, etc.) had been highly disappointing. It's rare for me when a movie delivers much higher than what I had previously expected. I this "wowed" with a movie since seeing The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Even people not well-versed with the character of Batman were greatly satisfied with the movie to say the least. The movie was almost inspirational in a sense, allowing you to watch a man overcome his fears and doubts with sheer tenacity to "become more than just a man." If only it had pirates..."If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, you become something else entirely."Rating: 9.5 out of 10
"Which is?"
"A legend, Mr. Wayne."

Yeah David, I agree, the movie COULD use Pirates. I'm sure Jerry Bruckheimer will happily cross his worst (Batman & Robin) with his best (Pirates of the Carribean) to satisfy you.
Alfred's always been British. You knew that, right?
Yeah, there was definitely quite a bit of humor throughout the movie.
To the point of being exaggerated?
I heard that Caine wanted to play Alfred as an old British sergeant who became a butler, explaining the more "unrefined" accent like you noticed.
I can die happy, I saw this movie. It was great.
