A Superhero Classic.

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2005)

I went to see Batman Begins with my mates on its U.K. release day and it was fantastic. Before the film i had a bad feeling that it would be a disappointment and never be better than Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman" epic. But i was wrong. From start to finish Christopher Nolan never lets the film get boring or tedious. Christian Bale is the perfect Bruce Wayne and Batman himself is darker, tougher and cooler than ever. The costume for Batman is the best ever and the new Batmobile is one bad ass mofo. Also, the Villainous Scarecrow has a mask that is actually very creepy and psychotic. The English legend Michael Caine makes no mistakes playing Alfred and is the only person to show any kind of optimism and light to this dark movie. The darkness which this film contains throughout is what a Batman film needs to be good because Batman is of course the "Dark Knight". Another thing which makes this film so good is that it actually contains a deep and sometimes emotional storyline as it traces back through Bruce Wayne's life before batman. So all in all what i am trying to say is Batman Begins is awesome and i urge you to go and see it...NOW!
