This is maybe better than the original batman movies

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2005)

If you are looking for action and some truth to the whole Batman franchise, then this movie is perfect for you. The movie contains well-choreographed fight scenes and some above average acting on Christain Bale and Cillian Murphy's parts. Christian Bale brings a new style to Batman, but this is not a bad new style. He definitely brings out the true darkness of Bruce Wayne much better than Micheal Keaton has done. Cillian Murphy did a fantastic job as Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow, even though he was only in a few scenes of the movie. The only drawback in the movie are the villains. The only good villain was Scarecrow, but maybe it would have been nice to see some more people that come later on in the series during 'Begins.' But, I will say that I liked the choice of putting Micheal Kaine in as Alfred. Also, this movie didn't have Robin, which to me is a very good thing. Since this movie is no longer in the theaters, check it out right when it hits the shelves. It is an amazing movie, and it moves pretty quickly, which means that it is very enjoyable.
