Finally!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2005)

I have been waiting so long for a Batman film that would live up to the cartoons I loved as a child. The previous Batman films were far from that quality - to put it mildly! But now it is finally here - Batman Begins! I must say that I frowned when I saw that they had chosen Christian Bale to be Batman. In my world Christian Bale was Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. But did he prove me wrong! He is the perfect Batman! The entire crew is perfect! Michael Caine is perfect as the butler Alfred with his witty remarks. The script is brilliant. I don't know much about the comic version of Batman, but this is just the way Batman (and his story) should be if you ask me.
The only thing I have a slightly negative comment on is Batman's voice. Why does he have to sound so strange?? But since he does not talk much, it is okay - one gets used to it. I have seen it at the cinema twice now and the voice does not bother me any longer.
This is certainly a film worth watching! In my eyes this must be the film of the year! I am so looking forward to the next one - hopefully it will be as good as this one!
