The Best Superhero and Batman movie Yet!

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2007)

The Batman movie franchises have gone to good (Batman and Batman Returns) to mediocre (Batman Forever)to out right terrible (Do I need to mention it?). Superhero movies have had some hits like Spiderman 1 and 2, X-men 2 to some bad ones like The Hulk, Daredevil, and Catwoman. Batman Begins is finally a superhero movie thats dark, gritty and most importantly a good time. Those who have shunned superhero movies in the past will want to see this one. The characters and the ideas about crime are fascinating.
Christian Bale is Batman. The character is really explored how some 8 year old rich boy becomes a lost vigilante to a symbol of fear.... and hope. Bruce Wayne is also perceived well in which his playboy lifestyle makes up most of the comic relief in the film. Alfred is played perfectly and Morgan Freeman also gives a great performance as Lucius Fox. As for The Scarecrow he is played quite well. Liam Nessan gives a great performance of Ducard/ Ra's Agul. Katie Holmes is questionable in her performance but she gets the job done. The special effects and sound are great and the action scenes superb. The Batmobile rocks and the escape scene from Arkham Asylum is awesome. It ends with the coolest cameo of the movie and the character doesn't even appear on screen.
Overall an awesome film.
