Simply Superb

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

OK I watched this last night and I am simply amazed. I would consider myself a comic book fan but Batman Begins makes other superhero movies look ordinary. This is without a doubt the single best superhero movie and it will be hard to see anything surpass this.
The film and story itself are very dark. It reminds us of how troubled a character Bruce Wayne actually is. The way his character is developed is also great. The action is superb and thank god it has very little CGI.
Up until this I would have regarded X Men 2 as the best superhero movie, but it easily surpasses that.
This movie succeeds in every department. It feels much more realistic compared to other superhero movies. It has villains who are actually not likable, usually in superhero movies you come out talking about how great the villains were. This movie does not allow you to do this. It makes Bruce Wayne/Batman the most interesting character. But what strikes out about Batman Begins is that it attempts to be serious and actually succeeds. Spiderman 2 tried this but was a bit like a semi chick flick, The Hulk tried it and fell flat on its face, but Batman succeeds where others failed.
The performances from everyone were great. This movie had a wonderful cast of acting talents and they all deliver. Christian Bale is the best Batman ever, he even surpasses Micheal Keaton. He delivers a brilliant performance.
And a special thank you to the man himself Christopher Nolan. Thank you for diminishing the sad memory of the previous 2 Batman movies. This is the Batman movie the world has been waiting for and I'm sure people are eagerly awaiting your next instalment in this franchise.
I recommend this movie to everyone. Its a superhero movie for a more intelligence audience and not just little kids.
9.5/10
