Its about time!

Rating: 10/10 (16 June 2005)

Batman fans, and superhero fans of all creeds, will not be disappointed with Batman Begins. At last we have a serious, and entirely believable Batman - without the "camp" - for lovers of the superhero genre or anyone who loves pure escapism. Christian Bale makes an excellent (and sexy) young caped crusader, but Micheal Caine almost steals the show as Alfred. The movie has just the right amount of atmosphere to make it compelling, without making it overly brooding. The script is excellent, and the plot moves along well, with lots of action. (I didn't feel that there were any boring bits, so make sure you get your snacks and visit the rest room before the movie starts!) The character development is more than I'd hoped for and was really, really refreshing.
