Awesome!!!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 June 2005)

Subtle, dramatic, merciless, dark, alive, and a pinch of humor. This the Bats coming to the real world. VERY realistic (as far as it can be). It took a little getting used to, to see Christian Bale play Bruce Wayne and the Batman, but truly the best ever seen.
Since the creation of the Batman, the many movies made about the Dark Knight, have had their ups and down. The big Ups being the Batman movies with Micheal Keaton, 'Batman' & 'Batman Returns', the back-to-kindergarten movies 'Batman Forever' and 'Batman & Robin' (much too colorful) and now.....
(Note: No, I haven't forgotten the really old one, just didn't want to mention it!)
The Best Batman Movie ever, Batman Begins. Probably one of the best superhero-movies so far. Christian Bale perfectly translates both Bruce Wayne and the Batman, clearly making sure that there is NO way Bruce and Bats can be thought the same unless he wants to (for the ordinary people). Take notice of his mere voice change!
Furthermore, Bruce having to learn to cope with his double life, has been perfectly backed up by butler Alfred (Micheal Cane). Reactions, comments, etc, flung at the young billionaire by his butler are very lifelike. (No indeed, it's not the 'yes sir' Alfred we knew so far.)
I think you just HAVE to see it. Believe me, it's a WHOLE NEW Gotham adventure and worth the over two hours of theater time!
