The Legend Lives On

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2010)

I've always wanted to know the roots of the caped crusader, this film was my answer. Christopher Nolan's directing is superb, delivering a full on 2 hour death grip that would not allow me to get up from my chair. Every actor/actress performed brilliantly in their roles, and since this is a live action film based on the popular comics, it's good to see a storyline sticking to its origins rather then embracing an "entertainment only" viewing experience that has nothing to do with the plot.
Christian Bale surprised me - he actually is a good Bruce Wayne/Batman; Michael Caine - aced at playing Alfred; Liam Neeson - so intense, his on screen appearance alone is beastly; Katie Holmes - a catalyst of innocence (sexy, in a weird way) Gary Oldman - i'm amazed how this guy can transform himself into other people (such as Dracula) Cillian Murphy - definitely has talent for being a villain which was later shown once more in Red Eye (i recommend anyone to see that) and..well....i could go on and on, great film. Hans Zimmer brought a composition that will go down in soundtrack history as a classic. The subtle black comedy gave the movie that little extra glow.
Batman Begins is a biographical journey into how fear and anger (when channelled correctly) can make a man legendary 8/10
