The Best Movie Of The Year So Far

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2005)

There was a lot of speculation on how Batman Begins was going to turn out. All I heard from people before the opening was how the people working on this movie were going to make this worse than the others. Well, let me tell ya folks everybody who thought the movie was gonna be a bomb and be as bad as the others was dead wrong. Batman Begins is the best batman to come out, and it is also my favorite movie of the year so far.
A lot of people said that this movie dragged on. Oh it did not drag on at all. It kept my interest the whole film. I was disappointed to see the credits roll. I've seen all the batman movies and I'm usually bored halfway through, but not this one. This movie will keep you hooked because it combines drama with action, while all the other batman's just had mindless action and dumb plots. It really shows in this batman that the producers, writers, and director took their time in making this film and making those years that it took them to put it together pay off. This movie also shows that you can make excellent sequels in Hollywood if you JUST TAKE YOUR TIME. Apparently most writers and directors don't hear that and just rush a movie and make it only a one year gap from the previous film. Us movie goers do not need a sequel year after year, but apparently in Hollywood they think we do.
Christian Bale is magnificent as Batman. It seems like he was made to play batman. He is built like batman, and he has that same gruff voice as Keaton had when he was batman. He really nails it when it comes to this role. At first I was kind of worried that he was playing batman but my worries were put to rest after i saw the movie. I prefer the story line but a lot of parents will not want to take their younger kids to see this as it is a little frightening and dark. Also kids will not like the length of the movie because it is close to two and half hours. But for all you who have no problem with the darker story or the length then get out and go see this movie.
