Darker rebirth

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2007)

It seemed the past few years many things began ... again. Yes Superman returned, but it was a beginning too. Batman begins is one of the best efforts of this latest craze that emerged. And the director is playing a key part in this.
Christopher Nolan is of course not the only man to "blame" on the success of this reinvention and of course re-birth of Batman (after part 3 and 4 you could be excused, if you thought it was over for Batman)! Where the new Bond (21st installment) was about to throw away the complete history of Bond as you knew it, Batman "just" reinvented the style of the two first movies. Yes I liked the first two Batmans, but I do also think that Nolan's Batman is better. Beginning by the costume (completely dark, instead of having something yellow on his chest, that would be like an easy target to shoot at) and goes on, with the man behind the mask. Beautifully played by Bale, who is supported by a great cast! A great drama with action in it ... what do you want more?
