Blows out every other Batman movie.

Rating: 8/10 (15 June 2005)

This is a very well-made movie, but it does have some flaws. The fight scenes are a bit choppy and it does have some action movie clichés. These flaws are minor. It is the best batman story ever. The evil plan of Ra's Al Ghul is just short of genius, and Batman's plan to stop it is just as cool. This movie really shows the struggle of Bruce Wayne. A struggle that is realistic to the comics. I love the journey that Wayne takes in becoming the caped crusader.
Christian Bale's performance as Bruce Wayne and Batman is flawless. The same can be said for Cillian Murphy's performance. Bale's performance ranges from funny to very serious, which gives the story an element of realism. The rest of the performances are very solid.
Batman Begins is much better than the rest. There are no stupid sidekicks and most importantly, no bat nipples.
This movie is PG-13, but it is not for younger kids. There are some scary elements. I give this movie nine stars and recommend it to everyone except younger children.
