An amazing rebirth of Batman

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2005)

Without going on and on about the specifics of the movie(WATCH IT YOURSELF!) let me just say the feeling of walking out of that theater is something I haven't felt in awhile and from a Batman movie no less! Christopher Nolan has taken the Batman franchise and set new standards for writing and direction in this genre. Whether you agree with the storyline or not, you must recognize how well this film was made. I loved the fact that Batman is not this cartoon character for kids anymore, this was a grown-up film with a great sense of realism. Christian Bale is outstanding as the lead, I can't compare him to Michael Keaton but I can put him in the same boat for sure. The best thing about this film in my opinion is how the movie draws the audience in. At the risk of sounding too cheesy, Batman Begins appeals to and engages all the senses with its sound, action and cinematography that absorbs you into the movie. Definitely worth your time in watching which is hard to say for many films these days.
