Batman Begins is the first installment in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. This movie a reboot after the colossal failure of Joel Schumacher's Batman and Robin.

Rating: 8/10 (20 July 2012)

This is a very good film and also one of my favorite Batman films, but it has it's bad moments as well. Of course I will start with the positives before I have to bash the film a little bit. Firstly I thought The whole cast, excluding Katie Holmes, did a very good job in their roles. Especially standing out to me was Cillian Murphy who made his supporting role into a top notched villain. Gary Oldman was fantastic as usual, taking the role he is given and taking it to the limits. Also the special effects were well done with little to no CGI to be seen through out the film. And what the film has to say about heroes in general is very interesting to me and are expanded in the next film.
Now the things that did not work in this film that brought down what could have been a perfect film. First Scarecrow is not used to his full potential. I would really like to see more of this villain, but that might be a nitpick. A lot of people seem to not like Katie Holmes and I would be lying if I said I didn't have a few problems myself. She's just not that good, in my opinion, if anyone else enjoys her in the movie then that's completely fine. Also some of the lines in this movie are kind of cheesy I wont list any because I don't like spoiling any movie for those who have not seen it. Also the twist at the end is not the best, I'm not going to say what it is but I could see it coming from a mile away.
Over all though this movie is a great Batman movie that picked the franchise that had been killed in 1997 and brought new respect to the Batman name. Even with the flaws I thank Mr. Nolan for this great Batman movie.
