The Rebat

Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2009)

After the horrible reception of Batman and Robin, another Batman film would appear to be a waste of time. There was a fifth movie in the works called Batman Triumphant, but due to the terrible reaction to Batman and Robin, the idea was trashed. So 8 years went by, and people said, let's reboot the Batman franchise, and the result is the excellent Batman Begins.
This film is incredible for many reasons. It is the only Batman film by far to have the Scarecrow and Ra's al Ghul as the villains, the the only one to have Batman in his scratchy, throat cancer voice. It also features Bruce Wayne's squeeze from the comics, Rachel Dawes, and the curious inventor, Lucius Fox, played by Morgan Freeman, one of my favorite actors.This film is also jam packed with great special effects, stunts, great chases with the Batmobile, I mean the Tumbler, and great dialogue.
Overall, it is up their with the original Batman and Batman Returns, and highly surpasses the Schumacher films. It's a fun,exciting super hero film that is good to the last drop, but it is not nearly as good as it's sequel that would come in the following years.
