Visually compelling!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2017)

Eight years after the apparent flop of "Batman and Robin", the Batman franchise have been begging for a new adaptation, with a new and improved origin. This has been successfully accomplished in "Batman Begins". The movie begins. A new Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), a new Batman, a new origin story. The film is very interesting and extremely compels the viewers with an engaging story-line complimented by wonderful performances from the entire cast (although the whole, Batman-has-a-deep-and-rough-voice thing can become tedious) makes this not just a great superhero movie, but a great movie in general; even for those who have (somehow) never heard of Batman. Christian Bale is great as Bruce Wayne/Batman, giving a realistic depiction of how Bruce Wayne would actually act. The antagonists are believable, with clear and developed motives, making the film impossible NOT to understand! The sets are exceptional with amazing cinematography, which also highly compliment the plot. A must-see as a film, and an exceptional superhero film.
