Truly Batman does"Begin" here

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2005)

After years of waiting for the next Batman flick here comes a movie which gives us a totally new perspective of "The Dark Knight".The story spans the life of the person Bruce Wayne,the orphaned multi-millionaire boy and how he moves through his early life,the first days of his struggle to fight crime and how he finally transforms to Batman .We come to know more about Bruce,the ideologies he has,the sacrifices made and the hardships faced by him so as to finally become competent to fight crime. Light is shed on the unfamiliar part of Bruce's life, and this brings in a new dimension to the character of Batman. So as to do this the plot brings in characters who were untold in the previous stories and portrays them very well.We come to see him as a intellectual mind and a true detective and not any other vigilante who rushes to save the day.(A point not properly focused upon sadly by the previous movies).And as for the usual stuff the fans expect to watch this movie doesn't lag behind :his gadgets,his gravity defying moves and the Batmobile do prove to be breathtaking.The audiences might feel a bit alienated when the story moves much around the unknown years of Batman but then Nolan carries it off really well and finally gives us truly the beginning of this hero.If you are a true fan of Batman then this is surely not to be missed .
