Batman Begins

Rating: 9/10 (10 August 2005)

Not only that it is the best Batman film, but is probably the greatest superhero film ever. This tells the origin of how Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) became the Dark Knight. The story is absolutely incredible. After the death of his parents, Bruce Wayne decides to leave Gotham City and travel through out the world to try to find a way of overcoming his fears (including bats). While he was in this Asian prison, he meets Ducard (Liam Neeson) who becomes Bruce's mentor. He was then later release and decides to find the League of Shadows, led by Ra's Al Ghul (Ken Watanabe). When he nearly finish his training, Bruce finds out that the League are attempting to destroy Gotham. He manages to escape, and returns to Gotham to become Batman. Directed by Christopher Nolan, he has a damn good job at doing it. With a brilliant supporting cast such as Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as Lt. Gordon, Cilian Murphy as the Scarecrow and Morgan Freeman who plays the inventor of Batman's gadgets. The film also starring Katie Holmes as Batman's love interest and Tom Wilkinson as a hardcore gangster. The new Batmobile is unstoppable. But especially, Christian Bale is by far the best actor to play Batman. I can't wait for the sequels to come, and who will play the Joker and Two-Face.
