Reviving a Dead Franchise

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2019)

After Batman & Robin came out, people were really disappointed in their childhood hero and pretty much forgot about the cape crusader. But everything changed in 2005 when Christopher Nolan decided to direct and produce the origin story of Batman like never before.
This movie is probably the best superhero origin story of all time and I mean it. The casting and acting in this film is superb, with the likes of Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman and Cillian Murphy. The plot of the movie is really interesting and has some very intense action scenes. These scenes are even better considering the fact that it was done with practical effects and little to non CGI, unlike modern superhero flicks. This film is absolutely entertaining and will keep you on the edge of your sit. The soundtrack is unbelievably great with Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard composing it. The dialogue is very comedic and well thought.
The movie starts with young Bruce Wayne having flashbacks of himself facing his greatest fear, bats. We learn he's in a prison in Vietnam and is punished and treated unfairly. Later on the movie we find out why he's on a prison. He then talks to Henri Ducard, a member of the league of shadows, a secret organization created to maintain balance and order in socities. He offers Bruce a way to know what he's looking for and train him to become a memeber of the secret organization. After a lot of training he decides to fight crime and share his dread with his enemies, by becoming Batman, his new alter-ego.
This movie definitely deserves a watch and personally is the best superhero movie of all time. The themes used are love, determination and falling to keep ourselves up. The only downvote in this movie is probably Katie Holmes since her acting isn't always on par with the other cast members. Other than that this is an almost perfect movie.
