BATMAN BEGINS IS THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE EVER MADE!!!
WHAT A DIRECTOR! WHAT A CAST! WHAT A SCRIPT! WHAT A MOVIE! I just saw BATMAN BEGINS last night and it's easily the best superhero movie I've ever seen, and maybe the best movie I've ever seen--period!Val Kilmer and George Clooney were both good as Bruce Wayne/Batman, but Christian Bale is better looking, and goes from Batman to Bruce and back like he was born for the role!Director Christopher Nolan's created a masterpiece here, with a terrific Hall of Fame cast with Michael Caine as butler Alfred, Gary Oldman as a wierd police buddy James Gordon--not yet Commissioner!--Morgan Freeman as a dedicated but isolated Wayne Corp staffer who becomes a sort of Tonto to Bale's Batman, and Liam Neesom as the main heavy, with Rutger Hauer hanging around as a corporate heavy at Wayne Corp.The script keeps moving right along, and introduces an actor I've never seen before--Cillian Murphy--and boy, does this Irish kid steal the show as crazy Dr. Jonathan Crane alias the Scarecrow!!! Murphy looks terrific, and he's one of the few modern actors with a great voice, which he uses to full effect in his terrifying role!The music is great, too, and the only bad things about BATMAN BEGINS are that the action scenes area so fast you can never see what's going on, plus there's a stupid scene at Wayne Manor whereWayne pretends to be drunk to run off some birthday party guests from impending danger--why couldn't a smooth guy like Wayne just send them off diplomatically??? Plus, Katie Holmes is a dud as love interest Rachel Dawes--she just doesn't look good enough for Bale!But BATMAN BEGINS is beautifully filmed, and the movie keeps rolling along till the end when you're left wanting more--and that's the way movies are supposed to be!!!BATMAN BEGINS IS THE BEST BATMAN MOVIE EVER MADE!!!Chari Krishnan RESEARCHKING TANGO2200@HOTMAIL.COM
