Best Batman yet.

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2005)

By far the best of the Batman movies.
Very strong script, and a superb cast. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman all gave top performances in their leading roles. Unfortunately, Katie Holmes was the weak link of this cast, with a comparatively blah and unimpressive performance next to her co-stars.
The story did a great job of establishing the foundation for how Batman came to be. It was original, intelligent, and well laid out.
If you have a chance to see the IMAX version, do it. Some of the cinematography is breathtaking, and the special effects and action sequences on the BIG BIG screen are incredible.
Batman begins is a great direction for the future of Batman films. I look forward to seeing what Christopher Nolan brings to the big screen in the future.
