The "Beginning" Leaves it's Future in the Past

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

I approached this film with the intent to show my appreciation to a great classic, but it left me with such an impression that completely overshadowed the entire Batman Saga. If money is what the creators had sought for, the name alone would have earned their want. But with my regards to what I call some of the greatest collection of film-makers out there, money was not their main agenda nor concern. Their aim was to entertain and to please the Saga's fans. Their intent on laying down such a great story-line as this was well enough to earn them both, plus the reward of pleasing those who may have even once before considered themselves contrary to the fandom of Batman. The film was less than predictable. It left me with an atmosphere in which I made my predictions only moments before their clarence. In my opinion, Christian Bale lifted a performance that measures if not possibly even tips the performance given by our classical Batman favorite, Michael Keaton. And with that said, I did not expect any actor to meet with Mr. Keaton's display of the memorable Billionaire Bruce Wayne, more commonly known as the classically adored hero, Batman. With all of the mutants and super humans running about this turn of the century, David Goyer pulled off a wonderful displaying story of a character that could have otherwise been classified by audiences as "Only Human". Next to the performance of Christian Bale, I couldn't have hoped for more with the ensemble of great performances, notably that of Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman. It had an ensemble of wonderful enemies and it used some of the most common emotions in their more relative perspectives to audiences all over the world. Overall, the 'Beginning' left it's future, or what we know as it's past exactly where it is... in the past.
