Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 4.0
Justice done to a great comic book character.
I was just a 7 year old kid when batman forever came out and it was followed by batman and robin. And the fact is that i wasnt old enough to grasp the grotesque direction the series had been steered in to by the release of those two movies. To me the Cartoonish and hi-tech action of the two movies seemed amusing along with how Batman was now being portrayed as more of a happy go lucky crime fighter rather then a "dark knight". But as i grew older and became more of a comic book fan i realised that those two movies had failed to portray the character accurately. I saw the first two baman movies "Batman" and "Batman Begins" to further see how the series had started out really well but was ending up going in a wrong direction.But this movie changes all that. Batman Begins is everything a batman movie should be. New director Christopher Nolan takes the whole experience of the movie closer to the feel of the comic books, something true fans are bound to appreciate. A darker edgier batman is portrayed by Christian Bale who is probably the best Batman yet. The movie lays emphasis on story and plot rather then stupid cartoonish antics, so if you are one of those people who just expect the action to keep flowing because you are not mature enough to appreciate the storyline then this movie is not for you. Bottom line is all hardcore fans of the comic books will not be dissapointed. There have been many dissapointed fans who have complained about the previous two batman movies, but rest assured there prayers have been answered with this masterpiece
