Not just best in the series; best action flick prequel...ever.

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2005)

Good movies are fun to watch, great movies resonate. Anyone can make an action flick, but no one can put the pieces together as well as Batman Begins for Cape Crusader fans. There's plot, purpose, and human character. The action, plenty of it, are well placed, and paced... nothing for gratification sake, only as called for. Bale is the perfect Dark Knight, a character you experience life's most negative moments with and see grow into the "people's hero" that he ultimately becomes. Star War fans are weeping at the possibilities of Episodes I, II, and III. "Momento" fans know what to expect from a genius at linking time / space with an interesting storyline. See the movie in the best theater you can... and then see it again, and again.
