Batman Begins(2005)
Review: This is a fantastic movie! One of the best superhero movies to date! Batman gets the presentation he finally deserves! Thank You Christopher Nolan!
Batman Begins is just that, the birth of the Dark Knight. This movie is a complete character study on Bruce Wayne and Batman in every last detail. We find out many things that the previous Batman movies missed. Things like, why does Bruce Wayne want to fight crime, how does Bruce run Wayne enterprises, how he learned to fight like a demon and the big question, why he choose bats? This is a brilliant character study.
We have a terrific cast to boot. Christain Bale is perfect as Bruce Wayne and Batman. His acting is strong. Micheal Caine is the best as Alfred, who also comes off as a wonderful father figure. More fine acting from two veterans of Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman and are perfectly casted to their respective roles. Liam Neeson is here as well as a show-stealing performance by Cillian Murphy!
Batman Begins has an awesome look of the corrupted city of Gotham. Dark and corrupting. The plot is original. The action here is fast, tight and satisfying. Not to mention and excellent car chase scene too! The villains are sinister and refreshing, the bat-cave is an actual cave below Wayne Manor, Batman's vehicle has a brand new and much better look, and the bat signal is faded and out of focus!
The Last Word: Fantastic! This movie is the best! From an engaging story to tight and excellent action sequences, Batman Begins delivers the goods! This movie also has no bad language as well. I did not even hear the word "damn" here. Also no blood and guts either. I had an awesome time at the theaters! Highly recommended!
