Batman begins properly

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2008)

Ever since the Batman series took a wrong turn somewhere in the 90's, I was a little sceptic when I heard there was going to be a new one. This quickly turned to curiosity upon hearing Nolan was to direct it.
And once again, he hit the right spot with this movie. Instead of introducing a colourful batman and his adversaries, he gave us the blessing of not even seeing batman in the first hour of the movie! The entire film is built up fantastically around how Batman came to be, why he did and how. The movie isn't even about how he fights the bad guy:it's about how he himself develops. Thus, we get lots of fine dialoguecombined with a healthy amount of action as Batman tries to save Gotham.
This movie is an excellent reboot of the series, and sets a standard for superheroe movies in the future.
