The best superhero movie ever

Rating: 9/10 (12 August 2008)

I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies. Many of them turn out to be too corny or predictable. "Batman Begins," however, is a rare treat. This film shows how Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) conquers his fear of bats by facing his fears and becoming a superhero with bat-like ability. It's truly a fascinating story that shows Wayne from his childhood to his battle with his first villain, the Scarecrow. Christian Bale proves to be the best movie Batman ever. This film also has an excellent supporting cast, featuring Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, and my favorite, Morgan Freeman. This film includes an excellent balance between humorous and serious moments, making this a very interesting and entertaining ride. Not only my favorite Batman movie but my favorite superhero movie as well. Close to perfection, and worth multiple viewings.
