Batman Lives...Finally!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (13 July 2005)

Batman Begins is one of the best films of the year. Christian Bale does an excellent portrayal of the Bat/Bruce Wayne. The beginning is a little slow for those acquainted with Batman, but even a new fan to the genre can quickly begin to follow along. The dark edge of the Batman is awesome and really sparks the film. I couldn't help but notice that Bale has the Adam West facial features, the yuppie look yet he has the muscle to be the Batman. The movie is just enjoyable from the look to the storyline. I have to admit. I had pretty much decided maybe this would be a DVD rental, because I was basing it on the previous attempts to bring Batman to life. As I sat there, eating popcorn, and watching the movie unfold I was surprised. I have to say it far exceeded my expectations and after seeing War of the Worlds, first, I would say, this movie is better hands down. Nothing against WOW. This is a gotta see movie and can't wait for the next movie. You won't be disappointed if you like super hero flicks.
