The Perfect Batman Film!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2005)

MY ORIGINAL 2005 REVIEW
'I went to the midnight showing last night, and I've also been to see it again this morning, and both times I left feeling thrilled and excited. I've been waiting for this film ever since it was first announced and let me tell you it doesn't let you down one bit. Now I don't want to go through explaining the story, I just want to say how good this film is. It's the best Batman film ever, now I'm a big fan of Tim Burtons, but after seeing this, I couldn't imagine another Batman or another version of Gotham. The film expelled on all levels. I remember the anticipation I had before going to see Terminator 3, but felt really let down when I came out. But not this one, I just couldn't wait to get in and see it again. So I've been twice already and I'm planning on going again tomorrow morning. I'm going to stop babbling on, but if you go to see three films this month, go see this first, then star wars and then Mr & Mrs Smith. This is the best film of the year so far and the best comic movie alongside Superman The Movie! PS Thank god this movie eradicates the camp Joel Schumacher versions. Long live Batman!'
HOW I FEEL IN 2016
It's been 11 years since Batman Begins was released in the cinema, and since then we've had The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, creating one of cinema's all time great trilogies. I've seen this movie upwards of 20 times, it's one of those movies that is so good that you appreciate it every time you watch it without getting tired of it. It's perfectly cast, the action is exhilarating and drama is well written and acted. Batman Begins continues to be one of the best superhero origin movies out there.
