Batman Begins - Return to Excellence

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

Batman Begins is without a doubt the best movie created in the Batman series. It is return to the dark side of Gotham without the clown suits and ridiculous theatrics that sank Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. If you liked the first Batman movie then you will love this. Christian Bale nails the role of Batman and Bruce Wayne and surpasses the excellent performance of Michael Keaton in Batman. The supporting cast of Morgan Freeman, Michael Cain, Liam Neeson are especially note worthy but there are no disappointments.
This movie goes beyond the basics of a typically action movie and touches on a number of deeper social issues without seeming contrived. In short this is the most entertaining movie to come out in a very long time.
