"Batman Begins" Actually "Ends" the Streak of Bad Batman Films...

Rating: 9/10 (15 June 2005)

Just got back from the 11:59 screening of "Batman Begins". This is one comment I am going to leave any possible spoilers out of, just in an effort to encourage those reading these reviews to go and see it for themselves. Christian Bale fits the role of this new aged Batman to perfection. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine put in excellent performances as Lucius Fox and Alfred the butler, respectively... I believe what makes this movie work is a more "realistic" feel to it, from the psychological struggle of Bruce Wayne all the way to the environment around him. I wasn't too thrilled with the cartoonish/comic book look that the earlier Batman films had portrayed... This was right up my alley, and faith in the franchise has been restored...
