Batman Begins

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2005)

Many reviews I've read for Batman Begins have described its lack of fun and spontaneity, as the previous Batmans contain so much of it. However I felt that this origin story needed some grounding and practicality to set the stage. Batman Begins IS a lot of fun though; I was glued to the screen and its non-stop action.
I've never seen any of the other Batman movies, but this definitely makes me want to see more! I think I fell in love. Christian Bale is perfect, as well as other leading characters, (although I think Katie Holmes' character should have been written stronger.) Cilian Murphy is creepy as ever as The Scarecrow (a very cool role in the movie) and Morgan Freeman rules.
