Nolan presents a grounded origin story, cutting between past and present seamlessly and keeping a respectably fast pace until the credits roll.

8.8 out of 10
Many people believe (rightly so) that The Dark Knight (2008) is the best superhero movie of all time. However in my opinion, Batman Begins is the best Batman movie of all time. I had honestly not seen this film for about 8 years, at which time I was too young to understand most of the themes at play, so I decided to revisit it. My God, what a good decision that was.
This movie sets up the character of Batman in such a believable and realistic way, while also subtly poking fun at the concept of a man dressing up as a bat. From the beginning of the film, Nolan sets up a grounded incarnation of the origin story, cutting back and forth between past and present seamlessly and managing to keep the pace exciting and relentless until the credits start to roll.
