Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 4.0
Brooding Batman
This movie definitely makes up for the atrocity that is "Batman and Robin." Although "Batman" and "Batman Returns" were excellent movies, this movie is excellent in a completely contrasting way. Instead of jumping right into the bad guy of the moment, this movie makes the effort to set up the back story of Bruce Wayne, which is well worth it. The only problems I had with this movie is1) Cheesey alert! Liam Neeson's character goes on and on about how one has to conquer fear, until I feel like I'm forced to sit through a presidential speech--"The only thing you have to fear is fear itself." Besides that, Liam Neeson is awesome.2) I was slightly disappointed that they didn't do more with Cillian Murphy's character, Scarecrow, who has the makings of a worthy bad-guy opponent--interesting and dark, and not at all cheesy.Aside from those 2 little incidents, I deem this movie worthy of its 15 dollar ticket price.
