Batman - Flesh and blood...
This movie has indeed garnished rave reviews. In addition to what has already been said, I wanted to mention a few of the elements of the movie that really make the film shine. In previous Batman films the fight sequences were just not what I expected to see from Batman. If you have read any of the comics you will know that Batman uses his "fear factor" and ambush tactics more than anything. I absolutely loved how most of the times he would take down the bad guys was when he would repel down from above to envelop the enemy and zip up back up high via his grappling gun.Batman begins and returns as he was intended to be. Not an invulnerable superhuman terminator, but a flesh and blood man armed with passion for justice, fighting skills and good equipment. The movie was excellent in portraying what Batman was to begin with - A tool of fear used by Bruce Wayne to distribute justice and revenge. His encounter with those that oppose him had him using his brain and this tool of fear rather than slugging it out Indiana Jones style which is a last resort. Batman is the Dark Knight, not Superman.A very well done movie worth your time and money.
