Mr. Nolan has made the best Batman movie ever!!

Rating: 9/10 (24 June 2005)

Batman Begins is by far, the best comic movie ever made, not only because the story goes deep into the fears of Bruce Wayne, but also because it shows us a believable hero, one whose style is created in the road, as hurdles risen.
This movie is flawless, director Christopher Nolan whose previous works include the excellent and creative MEMENTO, deliver us a story based on the roots of the fears that hunts the thoughts of Mr. Wayne. He is desperately for both fight injustice and find the essence of fear, so he is recruited by the dark society the League of Shadows, led by evil Ra's Al Ghul (Ken Watanabe) and his right hand, Ducard, played by Liam Neeson. In the first Act of the movie, Mr. Neeson becomes in the teacher of Mr. Wayne, and certainly helps him in creating the legacy and the legend of Batman.
The acting is outstanding, although with such cast it's not surprise. Christian Bale (whom I enjoyed watching in Equilibrium and American Psycho) plays the best Batman ever on the screen, so please, forget about the formers actors who had played Batman. Sr. Michael Caine, simply, plays the best Alfred butler. The relationship between these two men is one of the primal axes of the film. Then we have the ever-amazing Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, a scientific that led research project at one forsaken division in the Wayne corp.; this is the character that provides Batman's every single device, including the cape and the bat mobile. Mr. Gary Oldman is excellent as Lt. Jim Gordon.
The bad guys are really scary. Cillian Murphy (best known for 28 Days Later and Cold Mountain) plays the wicked Scarecrow, and believe me, there are a couple of scenes that will frightened you. Tom Wilkinson as Carmine Falcone, portraits a credible corrupt, whom practically owns Gotham City. In fact, the early conversation that he sustain with Bruce Wayne in some kind of restaurant, led Mr. Wayne to take the paths of evil, injustice and wickedness. And finally, the great Liam Neeson, who plays the great teacher, the great friend, and later in the third Act becomes in his Nemesis, the personal foe of Batman.
One of my favorites moments of the movie is a scene in which Bruce Wayne cross with Rachel Dawes at the exit of some luxury hotel while he is walking out with two beautiful party girls, and at the end of their conversation, he try to explain her that "this is not the real Bruce Wayne" however, she tell him something like this: "is not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you" later, in the third Act, He would answer the same as Batman, when she ask him: "Who are you?" simply, one of the best moments of the movie!!!!
The score is awesome, the sound flawless and the special effects are amazing.
So, if you like movies, you should see Batman Begins. If you love the comic books, you should see Batman Begins. If you don't like movies, but you are bored and want to do something cool, you should see Batman Begins. If you are wandering what movie you should see this weekend, don't think about it, you should see Batman Begins. If you don't have anything better to do, you should see Batman Begins. As a matter of fact, everyone should see Batman Begins!!! Is one of the best movies of the year.
