Outstanding!

Rating: 10/10 (17 June 2005)

I felt it necessary to register on here to air my view of Batman Begins.
I went to the cinema last night to see it and i have to say i was blown away, i loved the Batman cartoons as a kid and the films never really lived up to what they could have been, until now.
Absolutely outstanding, all i will say is please don't judge this film by the other failures and not watch it, if you ever liked Batman then this film is certainly for you.
I thought the film started really well however it did slow down slightly whilst it explained his training and past as a child, which really none of the previous films did, he was just a super hero, here we learn how it all came about, including the killing of his parents, and later on his parents murderer.
They even went into explain where he gets his gadgets and stuff from!!! which i thought personally was a nice touch, its always disappointing to see films where action hero's just appear to have a never ending supply of equipment and martial arts training, so well done there.
Once hes back in Gotham for good, the film doesn't waste any time and he's straight into ass kicking, with a small side plot for the love of his child hood sweetheart Katie Holmes, which plays out untouched till near the end.

From what you'll see at the end, i'd hazard a guess that they're going to make a second film, which i hope to god is true because this one was fantastic!

Over all 10/10
