Fear comes in many forms...

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2005)

I was excited when I first saw Batman in 1989. It was a great movie. The sequel, Batman Returns (1992), was also good. Then, Batman Forever spoiled it for me, even though skillful acting by Tommy Lee Jones and Val Kilmer. I walked out of Batman and Robin, despite George Clooney being in it. Then, Batman Begins came to theaters.
Batman Begins focuses on Bruce Wayne's childhood and early years as Batman. He is guided by his friend Lucius Fox and butler Alfred Pennyworth. The movie also deals with Bruce's fear of bats, and how he uses what he fears to strike fear into others. Christopher Nolan delivers a dark tale. He proves that fear comes in many forms.
Batman Begins is definitely on my top 10 list for 2005.
