It's him! Who? The Batman!

Rating: 10/10 (2 December 2005)

"Batman Begins" is a movie about Bruce Wayne's early years and how he became the dark knight. There is an all-star cast which includes Christian Bale, Michael Cain, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, and Morgan Freeman. As a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his parents were gunned down right in front of his eyes. Then Bruce becomes obsessed with revenge, but his chance at revenge is taken away by fate. Bruce then flees to the east and seeks the counsel of dangerous but noble ninja cult leader Ra's Al-Ghul. Bruce then returns to the now decaying Gotham City, which is overrun by organized crime. Meanwhile, Wayne Industries is slowly slipping through his fingers. Bruce then sets his plan in motion to help Gotham City. With the rediscovery of the cave under his family's estate and a prototype armored suit, Bruce becomes Batman!
I liked this movie very much because it's not like your typical comic book movie. This movie shows that maybe, just maybe, this could happen in real life.
Christian Bale gives a great performance as Batman, not as good as Michael Keaton in the original "Batman" but very believable. The rest of the cast is amazing in their roles; Michael Cain is terrific as Alfred.
Overall I give it 3 out of 4 stars.
