Finally, Batman Comes To Life

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2005)

In what is the most comprehensive Batman movie till date, it appears that this is the only movie where the director actually gets in the brain Of Bruce Wayne, A.K.A Btaman
Christopher Nolan does a superb of work of coordinating a star studded cast, which was although wholly unnecessary as most of the big names were hardly used, (Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, and Katie Holmes hardly have a major part to play). The acting is spectacular, Christian Bale, makes a convincing Batman, with an extraordinary dubbed voice that makes the Dark Knight truly the Kingpin of Gotham. The camera action is unbelievably god, and so is the special effects for the movie. Also mention should be made of the mind blowing shooting locations. The action sequences will remind you of Spiderman 2, making this movie a favorite for next years' Academy Awards.
Batman Begins, is different from all the previous Batman franchise in many aspects. First of all, it doesn't portray Gotham, nor Bruce Wayne as the famous person he is. In all the last 4 movies, Gotham has been looked upon as a Neverland, but in Batman Begins, we find looking at a darker Gotham, much like the Shadow Of the Bat franchise of DC Comics. And unlike the previous Bruce Wayne, who loves to party, this one hates them. And it takes us inside the mind of a young orphan who has lost his parents. The story has been superbly plotted, with a terrific climax. A train sequence which ends the climax will leave the audience open mouthed.
This movie shows the transformation of the young orphan who goes bad, to the Dark Crusader, of Gotham. It is this transformation that makes this movie extra special. A word of praise for the director once again, for the clever finish of the movie, aligning it perfectly well, with the original Batman movie, starring Michael Keaton. I went to watch this movie expecting a boring comic flick, but it turned out to be brilliant. I'm sure there'll be many who will echo my feelings. There are so many things that can be written about this movie, but 1000 words are quite not enough for it. Look out for Liam Neeson, and Michael Caine, who give outstanding performances. Liam Neeson in particular as this is first portrayal of a negative role(OOPS, I shouldn't have said that), was a treat to watch. And watch out for the new Batmobile, it rocks!!!!
Overall 9/10....
