Batman Begins - Cinema bows to the Bat.

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Batman Begins, and he stars in the best film of our time. If this grosses any less than $400 million, and gets anything less than 4 stars from critics, Batman will seek ways to fight that injustice. Quite frankly, there's never been a more gripping film. Its a character-driven masterpiece, clocking in at two-and-a-half hours. The story is top notch, every cast member gives the performance of their career.
Gotham city makes for an astounding backdrop that no real city could top. The soundtrack, despite the lack of Danny Elfman's classic theme and cues, is terrific. The action, while regarded by some as chaotic, is perhaps the most thrilling blur of action ever unleashed on the big screen. Its intoxicatingly intense. This movie thrilled me from beginning to end, and likewise for everyone I know. Oh, and this Batman is angry. Are you ready to begin?
