The movie that should've been made in the first place.

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2006)

I've heard that what can make or break a movie in peoples' minds is 3 memorable scenes. Batman Begins had several. The whole movie was so well done, the cinematography of the mountains, the interaction between Ducard and Bruce, Alfred and Bruce, young Bruce and his dad, Bruce and Fox, Batman and Gordon and so on. There's stellar acting by all the great actors in this movie besides Bale. The car chase scene with the Batmobile was the best I've seen in a movie in the last 10 years outside of the Matrix Reloaded, which was only great because of all the CGI. Plus that it was filmed here in my hometown of Chicago, what more can I say? The movie and acting were so good that I'm willing to overlook Katie Holmes in the worst casting decision of the movie. She looks and acts like Joey from Dawson's Creek playing lawyer.
What a difference when you put a movie in the right hands for a change. They finally woke up after Sam Raimi pulled off Spider-Man into two great super hero movies. When you put a film in the hands of a great director in Nolan, great screenplay, and great actors, it's no reason why this film is rated 8.3 out of 10 here on IMDb. This is truly the Batman film that should've been made in the first place. Instead Warner Brothers went from the talented yet bizarre Tim Burton to the crap that Joel Shumaker turned it into. I look forward to the next installment.
