Batman Begins, Begins Something Great!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2005)

After Seeing Batman, i had doubts ever since the atrocious Schumacher films came out, and were disgracing the Batman films everywhere. Upon hearing Nolan directing this movie i was surprised and excited, after seeing such movies as Memento and Insomnia, which were amazing, I had to think can Nolan pull This Batman movie off, can he re-create the whole series over again, and hope our cape crusader won't die and be embarrassed once more in a movie? Amazingly the whole film works.
The movie starts with Bale in prison, as of yet we don't know why he is there. But Bruce Wayne has a skills of martial arts and attacks anyone who dares attacks him. We then meet Henri Ducard, who trains Bruce to become an ultimate weapon and seeking that those who deserve justice, get justice.After Bruce Wyanes parents were murdered in front of him when he was child he has sworn justice ever since. The League of Shadows in which Wayne wants join is run by a criminal under lord name Ra's Al Ghul, who's method of Justice is beyond what Wayne wants. Wayne kills Ra's and then runs back to Gotham to become a sworn protector.
As we look back in the past the open thing this movie runs on is fear. We learn Bruce Waynes fear, and the fear of everyone in this movie so brilliantly done. Gotham is bleak disgusting and looks as if it should be scrapped and torn down. Run by gang lords and drug users who get off Scott-free. Bruce Wayne is sworn to protect Gotham and bring down crime. He puts fear into them by what he used to fear Bats, as he becomes Batman. The movie has amazing acting and cinematography in it, the way you fear Batman and Scarecrow in the movie, is unlike anything, especially when we see the fear gas injected. Most of all it has a cool factor on it. Bale pulls off Batman with ease he plays the billionaire playboy amazingly, and Batman all at the same time. Neeson, Oldman and Freeman all make great supporting roles even Holmes does a good job with what she has, and shows she can act. But the real reason is to check out Cillian Murphy who may not be a big star yet but he's coming towards, he performs Scarecrow and Jonathan Crane amazingly, he sometimes becomes so creepy it makes your skin crawl by the way he talks, and then shows how he puts fear into others and the plan on Gotham as well.
The effects were amazing we finally have a movie where CG isn't everywhere we look and that it's down to good Ole action and storytelling. The Wachoski Brothers can learn a few tricks as could George Lucas, CG is not the whole movie but the actors and storytelling make up for everything to make an amazing movie. The Batmobile is beyond cool, in one sentence I Gotta get me one of those. The action scenes when he's doing his hand to hand combat could've been pulled off better, it was close up and hard to see what was going on, kind of like Bourne Supremacy, but none the less this movie just rocks.
Bravo to the new Batman, and Mr. Nolan for saving him all together. While the movie isn't perfect, it's just as close to being there. 10/10
