An Oscar worthy welcome back to Gotham

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2005)

I loved Batman Begins. I was reluctant to see it at first, but I'm glad I did. This movie saved the series from the downfall it was doomed for thanks to Batman & Robin. It brought back the darkness of the story, and there was a lot of drama and twists this time around that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Unlike George Clooney in the last movie, who simply PLAYED Bruce Wayne/Batman, Christian Bale WAS Bruce Wayne/Batman from the faces he made from scene-to-scene to the dark sultry sound of his voice. He was plagued by his parents' death, and you could feel his anger and determination towards Gotham's shaky situation. I won't name everyone from the main cast, but Cillian Murphy does an excellent eccentric. This was a good role to remember him for. This cast was the best of the five movies.
Good job, Mr. Nolan! And DEFINITELY, thank you!!
