Batman Begins and Returns to top form
Batman was quite literally on his deathbed after the mess that was Batman and Robin. It was a nail in the coffin that super hero movies had been building themselves during the 90s.X-men really started a new craze in Hollywood by being a super hero movie that was actually enjoyable. Spiderman continued the new fad. Yes, there are still failures in the super hero movie world, The Hulk, Punisher, etc. But, this latest venture into comic book reality is amazing. Batman Begins is Premium Super Hero Movie Making!Not since Tim Burton had the helm in the first Batman has a Batman movie been this good. Better yet, this movie might actually be better than Burton's vision. Christian Bale might never be better than Keaton as Batman, but for the time being Bale is the best we have. And truthfully there could not be a better choice for the Dark Knight.There are small instances of comic humor in this movie, but for once, reality prevails in a comic book movie. This movie looks and feels great. The effects are state of the art, the bat-gadgets are actually believable and have a hint of science behind them, and the action isn't totally ridiculous (i.e. the Mighty Morphin "Batman and Robin")This movie deserves five stars for reinvigorating a dying movie franchise. It is a great time and will please many a movie goer.
