Watch this movie as soon as possible if you liked the dark knight

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2009)

As many others, I watched 'The Dark Knight' before I watched this movie. I liked 'The Dark Knight' a lot. The only thing that I didn't really like about it, was that the movie was more about the Joker then about Batman.
'Batman begins' is about batman. And I loved it. The whole atmosphere of the movie is great, the city 'lives'. The movie has a realistic feel to it (as realistic as it gets in superhero movies). Batman flying through the air with his cape doesn't seem absurd at all.
In my opinion, Christian Bale is the best Batman/Bruce Wayne to date, and that's because of his performance in this movie. The villains in this movie are credible and Cillian Murphy puts down a amazing performance as Dr. Crane.
The only parts I did not like in this movie are Bruce Wayne's training and his romance. It felt that the whole training process of Batman was too drawn-out, and in a way I didn't really care if Rachel Dawes would get the hots for Bruce or not.
To sum it up, this is a great movie. If you liked 'The Dark Knight' but haven't seen 'Batman begins' yet you should surely watch this one as well. If you haven't seen either of them, I would recommend them both.
