Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 5.0
Batman truly begins
After several disappointing Batman films, this one truly begins the good Batman films. It had a great and entertaining story line, good acting, and very good visuals. Sure it took a darker approach to Batman, but it paid off and created a very exciting, edge-of-your-seat Batman. It does the Black Knight justice.The start of the film explores who Bruce Wayne was before he became Batman and even shows his parents' death. The beginning is great, but the movie takes off in the batmobile when Wayne returns to Gotham. That's when the fun starts. Great scenes of Batman busting bad guys and driving around in his "tumbler" keep you entertained. There are nice twists, a great ending, and even some remotely scary scenes. Add that with well placed humor and good acting from Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, and Morgan Freeman and you have one great movie.Nothing is as cool as seeing the Batman logo projected in the air over Gotham, except Gotham itself, and Batman in action, and Scarecrow in action, and and and I could keep on going, but it will take to long and I don't want to spoil anything. Point is, after summer flops like Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Fantastic Four, Batman Begins is easily the best movie of Summer 2005.
