Rating: 5.0
Finally, somebody got it right!
"Batman Begins" portrays the story of the Dark Knight in the manner it was intended. Christopher Nolan, as well as everyone involved with this A-List production, deserves a well-earned pat on the back. This movie sponges away the bitter aftertastes left over from "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin," and gives us the Caped Crusader we have all longed for since Tim Burton's landmark original.But even that movie's greatness has been improved upon. Nolan's extraordinary film takes the viewer back to Bruce Wayne's troubled past. We find out that it was not, infact, the Joker who murdered his parents. Here, you will see the real story unfold. We finally gain insight into what makes Bruce Wayne tick, both as a man and as his famous alter ego. We get an in-depth look at the intense physical training he goes through. We meet the man who instills him with most of the gadgetry he later comes to possess. And, most importantly, we are introduced to the Batmobile. I saw this movie twice in theaters, and I still want that car!!!I have to say that this was easily the very best Batman movie I have paid to see in many long years. It actually left me hungry for more. And, if the screenwriters can manage to keep things as dark and serious as what I saw in this film, I would be more than happy to see more movies made. Trust me when I say, this is the Batman you want to see.
