A Brilliant Take on the Origins Story

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2018)

This is the first 'proper' Batman movie that I have seen and to be honest I'm very glad it was this one. Although, this was not the first Batman origin story I have seen, but it was definitely the best of the two.
Batman Begins stars Christian Bale as the eponymous hero, I think that he does a brilliant job of bringing Batman to life. I have to admit, his Batman voice did make me laugh, despite this I believe that this portrayal of Batman is simply superb.
The other members of the cast are amazing actors in their own right and they are pretty good in this movie too. I think that casting Sir Michael Caine as Alfred is an absolutely brilliant choice as his voice fits his role perfectly. (Sir) Morgan Freeman playing Lucius Fox is also a very good choice for that role. And I simply cannot forget to mention Liam Neeson as the ass-kicking Ducard, it was a great surprise to see him during the opening scenes and it was fun to see him play the bad guy for a change also.
This was my first Christopher Nolan film, and I think it's too early to say whether or not I think he's a good director, but the directing was great so I see a grand future for me and other Nolan movies.
On the whole I think the plot was very good, I thoroughly enjoyed the way that the story was written to incorporate lots of well known characters into this trilogy and I like the way they are mostly connected in one way or another, it really puts an interesting spin on the story.
I think that the music/soundtrack is very good, very dramatic and it fits well with the style of film.The CGI, I think was respectable for a 2005 blockbuster.
Overall, a brilliant Batman origins film. I'm giving the film a 7 out of 10 purely because although it was a very good film, I know that there are a lot more movies which I think would score higher, and as this is my first movie review, I thought that 7 was a good score to give Batman Begins.
