It is believed by some that Batman Begins is an extraordinary movie and probably the best of the Batman series. It begins with our young and well off hero Bruce losing his parents to a random act of violence in the highly dysfunctional and wild city of Gotham. In an act that will likely be regarded by leading talk show hosts as very cool, Bruce embarks on a quest for vengeance. This brings him into the company of some very bright if misguided characters some years later, the "League of Shadows". They educate him on the errors of his ways and the wildly successful hobby of the Ninja. After which he embarks on an ambitious mission to liberate Gotham city from its corruption. The movie is unique in that it is considerably more plausible than its predecessors. The criminal's motives are very clear-cut, being mainly greed. The crime boss is also a believable crime boss, and isn't dressed as a circus freak. Batman also incorporates a number of advanced but feasible technologies to accomplish his tasks. The tricks aren't just smoke and mirrors. The film is worth 9 out of 10 stars.
