MY REVIEW: The Greatness Begins!!

Rating: 9/10 (16 March 2014)

Batman Begins. Who would have thought a dark super hero like Batman will find greatness in the able hands of Christopher Nolan? Nolan combines a young man's pain and hatred against evil with the theatrics of a super hero and he does it so well that you just can't stop watching this trilogy time and again. Batman Begins takes you through the story of how Batman became Batman? Nolan like an expert magician puts on a show that is high quality on all fronts; be it solid acting by Christian Bale playing Bruce Wayne and Batman with equal ease and charisma, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman playing his best no nonsense pals, delicious dialogues and many one liners, haunting back ground score, a mystery always looming around, high octane action and most importantly ideas talking more than actions which is always the case with Nolan's work. Using a non-linear narrative effectively, movie combines childhood, youth and mature age of Batman beautifully and leaves you wanting for more at the end. Katie Holmes as Bruce's love interest looks cute. I am going with mind blowing 9 out of 10 for Batman Begins. If you think super hero movies are just always about having fun, then this one will prove you wrong by a distance.
