Rating: 5.0
Bat-Masterpiece
When Joel Schumacher destroyed the other Batman series, the best thing to do is start over aagain and make it better. Batman Begins is definitley the best Batman film, the best film of the year and it's definitley a masterpiece.After being the Batman champion for 16 years, Christian Bale has took that title away from Michael Keaton. Don't get me wrong, Michael Keaton is still a great Batman, but Bale was a greater Batman and a greater Bruce Wayne.I love how the film starts where Bruce Wayne {Bale} meets a man name Ducard {Neeson}who will teach him to become a warrior. I also like how they show his past, where he finds the batcave that's under Wayne Manor, how his parents were murdered and the pain it's causing him. It's very close to the comic, only difference is that he never had a childhood friend name Rachael.Anyway, after he is trained by Ducard, Ra's Al Ghul {Watanabe} wanted Bruce to kill a man, but Bruce refuses. And now, a feud starts and Bruce leaves and heads back to Gotham City. Only to see that crime is getting bigger.One thing I love about this film is that it shows a very good relationship between Bruce and Alfred {Caine}, like it shows how much of a father figure he is. Also, the relationship between Batman and Jim Gordan {Oldman}, which you really didn't see in the other Batman films. How Lucius Fox {Freeman} shows him all the new technology he needs to become Batman. Cillian Murphy brings out a brilliant performance as Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow and Katie Holmes was a good additional character to this film.Some people say that this film is too talky. It's called Batman Begins, you're not gonna see any action until you see how it all began.This 2-disc DVD edition with cool features is perfect for all Batman fans. It's definitley worth every penny and you won't be disappointent.
