Through this film we discover the reasons Bruce became Batman (as we didn't already know) and we encounter some strange homicidal group of ninjas: rather inventive.

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2005)

I came out of the cinema having enjoyed the last hour and a half. Yet, this was pure entertainment and Batman Begins is in no way a Masterpiece deserving to reach the top 250. It may stay quite close to the original comic,but does not equal Tim Burton's more fantastic, yet more grounded interpretation of the Batman Universe and Gotham city. Moreover a massive machine that evaporates all water would probably evaporate us rather than expose us to maddening gas: funnily enough, the plot of putting the gas in the water pipes comes straight from an episode of the cartoon. Frankly, the super hero films are in general becoming more and more poor ever since Spiderman. At least Batman Begins was a cut above the average, which is The Hulk, Daredevil and Spiderman, but it is in no way an excellent movie.
