A great epic comic book movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Batman Begins is the best Batman movie since the underrated Batman Raturns. We see Bruce Wayne as a three dimensional character and doesn't just put out which villain will try to kill Batman next. We see the pain that Bruce Wayne must go through to become Batman. He must not only confront his own demons but the demons that are tearing Gotham City apart. This movie best resembles the comic book which it is based on. The cast is perfect with Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Michael Caine, and Liam Neeson among others. Though the movie is nearly 2 1/2 hours in length, I was mesmerized every minute I was watching. I put Batman Begins up there with Star Wars Episode III and the underrated Kingdom of Heaven as the three best movies of the year in what has been so far a mediocre year for movies. The low box office numbers for this year have been because of the low quality in movies. I think studio executives should look at Batman Begins and see how big budget blockbusters should be made. 10/10
