Batman Begins

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2005)

Darkly entertaining. I was very surprised by the true complexity of the story line. It could be used to tie into the first Batman movie. Action filled, as well as an emotional aspect. Possibly too intense for kids under 10. Mr. Bale did an outstanding job. I hope he signed for the sequels, so that we don't get clooney-ed. Batman has been a fixture for so long in the American culture, but questions are answered about Bruce Waynes' background, for those of you who ever wondered. As surprise about other known characters, is also thrown into the ring. Having Mr. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman to help balance out the cast, was a wise choice. If the studio continues on, I hope they chose the next script submissions with as much thought as this one had in it.
