Holy Awesome Experience, Batman!

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2005)

Batman Begins is an awesome film. Its easily the best movie I've seen in theaters this year, far better than both Star Wars and Mr and Mrs Smith. Christian Bale delivers an excellent performance both in and out of the bat suit. I am gay for Bale!! OK well, no, I'm still straight, but Bale does an excellent job. There is a lot of action, a lot of drama, good character development.
A lot like Spiderman (1), this movie is an origin story and sets up Batman for more good movies in this darker, more realistic style. Goodbye batnipples (and good riddance), hello new age! It really is just a great film over all and I cant recommend it more highly. I'm eagerly awaiting a sequel, which all signs point to the classic villain, The Joker.
This film is darker and hits you with more surprises than you'd expect, thanks to the Scarecrow's gas. It really is sweet, and it even has ninjas. And we all love ninjas.
