Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 5.0
This is the movie that made superheroes cool again.
There was a time in the early 2000s that a slew of comic book adaptations were made. Catwoman, Steel, DareDevil and countless others were released that gave superhero movies a bad name. Then Christopher Nolan made Batman Begins and it showed the world what a quality adaptation should be. Back to basics, stripping out the fluff from the mythology, and making it all about one tormented man and his desire to protect the vulnerable from the worst examples of a city's most evil. As the title suggest the first half of the movie is Batman's origin story. This is a movie that has Batman grounded in the real world. No quips, no funny lines. Just a man on a mission. Brilliant.
