Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 4.0
Very good.
Batman Begins is a very good action movie, with a decent plot. This is probably the most true to the current comic Batman any of the movies has gotten and Bale is the best Batman since Michael Keaton, possibly even better than Keaton but I think it's too early to make that call (we'll see what he does in the sequel).About 30% of the movie tells the origin of Batman. On screen, in the past we've seen why Batman became Batman. In this movie we finally learn how that all came about and it's adapted well from the comic origin written years ago. I've read some reviews that claim "this is the best comic movie to date" or "this is one you can actually believe could happen", both comments are ridiculous, this is most definately a comic book movie, while Batman doesn't have super powers, he never has in any of his on screen personas.I gave it four stars because it's a very entertaining movie, that manages to take an exhausted franchise and bring it back to life in a big way for yet another generation. Staying inside the comic movie genre; while it didn't deliver the same emotional intensity as Spiderman II, Batman Begins is certainly is a very good movie with quite a few unexpected twist and turns, among the best of the comic movies ever made.
