Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 5.0
A superb movie
Batman Begins is a superb movie on so many levels. It is a realistic action movie, one with a compelling and realistic storyline, that incorporates the comic book movie into a full fledged movie for everyone, leaving out the cheesy unrealistic characters. The acting as well was very believable, with the characters not being overdone or getting into emotions and interactions that are out of place. That Rachel couldn't be with Bruce is real, whereas other movies would have them be with each other. That Bruce is looked down upon or does wondrous deeds for people and they don't even know it ("drunken billionaire burns his house down"), only draws you into his character and makes you feel for him.Then, to top all of this off, it has a darker edge that is all too often left out for fear it would drive people away. Not so in this movie as it enhanced the theatrical effects much more, making the movie that much more enthralling.I can't say enough about this my favorite movie of the year. A must see for everyone, even if you aren't typically entertained by comic book movies. An action movie with a compelling storyline that draws you in, that is what you will get. A definite recommend.
