The Batman franchise is Saved,

Rating: 9/10 (27 August 2014)

Batman Begins is a fantastic movie with a very well developed storyline and a brilliant cast. Before this movie, fans started losing faith in Batman, after the disastrous Batman Forever with Val Kilmer, followed by another major disappointment, Batman & Robin, but Christopher Nolan saved this franchise, he made the universe much darker and more realistic, the villains are genuinely terrifying, even more so because they could actually be real, unlike villains such as Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy. My only problem with this movie is that it struggles to find it's main villain, it focuses on Ra's Al Ghul at the beginning, then moves to the Scarecrow for a while, and then towards the end there's a lot of back and forth moving from one character to another, they are both great but I felt like the Scarecrow probably should have had less screen time as his story simply wasn't as important. It's makes a great decision by focusing on Batman and diving deep in to his origins, I didn't like how the Tim Burton films focused on the villains origins and barely showed how Bruce Wayne became the caped crusader, this film focuses on it immensely and that's really what we want to see. The start of a terrific trilogy that only improves, Batman Begins is a terrific movie that I would recommend to all fans of the franchise and to anyone looking for a good action or adventure film.
After a traumatic childhood and some intense training, Bruce Wayne is ready to fight crime on the dangerous streets of Gotham City as his alter ego, Batman.
