Excellent! Finally we know who Bruce Wayne is!
When I heard they were making another Batman movie, I couldn't believe they were doing it. After Batman and Robin, I thought what is wrong with these people. As a result, I was very, VERY hesitant to go see this movie. I was pleasantly surprised. This is one of the best movies I have seen in a loooooong time.First off, Christian Bale makes an AMAZING Batman. I have always been impressed with Bale and thought he was/is a WONDERFUL actor and the role of Batman suits him perfectly. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman are all great in this film as well. I thoroughly enjoyed Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow and think he would make a great villian to come back in the future.One of the best things about this movie is the focus is on Bruce Wayne and his history. The other Batman movies progressively focused on the villian(s) as opposed to the Dark Knight himself. Christopher Nolan and David Goyer did a wonderful job in showing the various, darker sides of Bruce Wayne.I recommend this film to everyone. And I ask you to remember when going to see this that it is called Batman BEGINS. It is how Batman came to be, so it is not necessarily going to be as action-packed as movies of this sort tend to be. With that said, the action that is in the film is exciting and done very well. Batman Begins is done the way these movies should have been done all along...and it is FANTASTIC!
