Batman Begins...again

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2005)

After being invited to the premier at the local cinema I jumped at the opportunity. I was expecting big things, and well I wasn't disappointed. The movie is paced very well and I believe that Christian Bale is the best Batman yet. He manages to be believable as the Dark Knight and Bruce Wayne. While yes there are a few corny one-liners, the film holds together well. The action scenes are great, especially the first time Batman goes out on the town. It brought back memories of the old horror movies, when the characters get picked of one-by-one. The film does have humor, and most of it coming from Michael Cains' character. The twist at the end is golden. I never saw it coming and I managed to pick the twist in both The Sixth Sense and The Village. Christopher Nolan has shown us what he is capable of, now let us hope that Bryan Singer can do the same with Superman and bring new life to the movies.
A+
