I admit it was good.

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2009)

When I first saw it, I thought it was awful. Watched it again, and immediately changed my mind about how I felt towards it a second time. Maybe cause I kept hating how this movie had a long prologue to Batman. But since I'm only half batman fan I had different thought on how a Batman film should be presented.
To those who probably already knew as a fact, that this movie has no relation with the previous 4 Batman films. This in fact is an entirely new vision on the franchise after the huge criticisms on "Batman & Robin" 11 1/2 years ago. Course back then Warner Bros. tried to make the franchise suit-able towards the kid audience by lightening up the theme. Big mistake, and they learn their own lesson on that and made sure they wouldn't waist millions on another Batman film again.
So this time they're starting from scratch with a completely fresh new beginning that's suppose to give the franchise a better name in cinema. They succeeded with this being the best Batman film in a long time. I admit it's good for being a revision on the series. But I don't have the heart to call the greatest comic book movie in the world.
In this film it tells how Bruce Wayne became the Dark Knight and how he learned to do martial arts in which it becomes handy later on. He learns the meaning of moral justice as a way to bring down criminals as he tries to become someone in which everyone would look up to for hope. Hope in which to bring down the criminal master minds in Gothan City where gangs and mobs run the streets. Only someone like Batman can clean up the streets, only to face another criminal mind who's about to spread fear in the city.
If you are a fan of the series, then there's no problem in worrying about the out come of this film. Cause I'm sure all fans of the franchise will be more satisfied with over "Batman and Robin" or "Catwoman".
