"Batman Begins" is impressive!
"Batman Begins" is impressive! Christian Bale is excellent as Bruce Wayne / Batman. Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman led a solid supporting cast that has Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, and Ken Watanabe in it. Christopher Nolan's directing is impressive. The screenplay by Nolan and David S. Goyer (who also wrote the Blade Movies) and the story by Goyer is brilliant. The music by James Newton Howard & Hans Zimmer is very impressive. The cinematography (Oscar nominated) by Wally Pfister is excellent. The film editing by Lee Smith is excellent. The casting by John Papsidera & Lucinda Syson is excellent. The production design by Nathan Crowley is very impressive. The art direction by Peter Francis, Stuart Kearns, Paul Kirby, Simon Lamont, Steven Lawrence, David Lee, Patrick Lumb, Shane Valentino, Su Whitaker is very impressive. The set decoration by Paki Smith is very impressive. The costume design by Lindy Hemming is very impressive. This is one of the year's best and one of the best comic book movies in recent history since "Spider-Man 2" (2004).
