Oh yes...finally

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2005)

Having always loved the batman comics, but found the newer Batman films close to ridiculous, I started watching "Batman Begins" at 1 o'clock the night before I had to get up 5:30 to help a friend move. I thought I could always just break it off when I have had enough. BIG MISTAKE! 241 exhilarating minutes flew by, and I thought "VOUW...damn that was a good movie". All characters are perfectly casted, and the movie succeeds in exactly the same way as "Lord of the rings" or "Harry Potter" do. It makes you forget that it's all fantasy. It sucks you into the world of Batman and Gotham city, leaving the real world behind for 241 minutes straight! I read a comment where a bright-head stated that if all water was evaporated, then the fluids of the human body would be as well! I can only say "geee....you really got brains....we really didn't know that....but stay away from movies like this then". The point of Batman is not create a real world scenario, actually the complete opposite. You should rather start picking on something like Lord of War, which tries to give the impression of delivering facts from the "real" world. Well back to Batman Begins....I also really fancy the darkness of this movie, which have been missing in all the earlier Batman movies. The movie brings about the complete story of Batman from childhood to the becoming of Batman in a very well balanced manner and leaves with...Batman. It is done to perfection....the DC Comics guys must be proud!
