Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 5.0
Gritty. Dark. Brilliant.
Nolan took this hero franchise and grounded it with real world rules. His interpretation of Batman avoids comic book trappings in favor of a kinetic pace that drives a story of revenge and justice. A little Count of Monte Cristo mixed with some Scarlet Pimpernel, Batman Begins chronicles the story of Bruce Wayne, a billionaire heir who forgoes the corporate life in favor of the nightly pursuit of justice.Although some flaws exist in the film, this is the entry point to one of the best super hero movie franchises in film history.Nolan was an exemplary choice to direct these films.
