cruise01 Batman Begins (5 out of 5).Batman Begins is an awesome masterpiece of a reboot to the superhero franchise. Director/Screenwriter Christopher Nolan did a fantastic job-recreating Batman. Not by telling the same story like the previous Batman movies were we see the caped crusader facing against a new villain. Nolan takes us to were it all began. It is an origin story. We see Bruce Wayne doing everything for the first time. From jumping on rooftops without his wings or grappling hook. The plot does not follow in a chronological order within the first hour of the movie. But it works great with Nolan's direction set up. It begins with a kid Bruce Wayne falling in an old water well and facing against Bats. Than it cuts to an older Bruce Wayne, imprisoned in a different country and comes across Henri (Liam Neeson) who is giving him a second chance at redemption. Bruce is left traveling through and coming across ninjas that are being trained for the league of Shadows. Then, it flashes towards a young adult Bruce who is visiting the trial for his parents murderer. And only to see Gotham city being corrupted. After Bruce training, he comes back to Gotham to be the caped crusader and to stop a bigger threat from the mob. And Dr. Jonathan Crane (Cillian Murphy) who is corrupted and plotting a threat to Gotham.The plot was well organized. The script was fantastic. The action sequences are awesome. You have an exciting Batmobile known as the tumbler being chased by the police. Batman facing against criminals. And a villain scarecrow, which uses a toxic gas to make people see their own fears. The concept and setting is dark for a superhero film. But Batman is supposed to be in that direction. Christian Bale was fantastic. Michael Caine, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, and Liam Neeson were all great. Sure, there are some twists and surprises with the villains. And an exciting climatic battle with Batman fighting in a moving train. Overall, Batman Begins is an awesome film. Nolan did the character justice. The script gave the proper treatment to the development and plot. The direction was sharp, clever, and exciting for an origin story. Plus the cliffhanger ending that opens for a sequel and the direction on the villain is great.
George Taylor It's simple. This is the beginning of the best Superhero Trilogy of all time. Nothing can touch these three, beginning right here. (And as they unfold it's clear how tightly they mesh together). Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson... the only weak spot in this movie (and the next) is Rachel Dawes. Especially here, with squeaky voiced Katie Hughes as the characters. But that doesn't detract from this being a great movie. The flow, direction and story are all excellent.
lonely-tty This film has 2 subjects I enjoy: Psychology and Philosophy. The Psychological aspect is fear. This is shown in the throughout the film that Bruce got to overcome the fear to save himself and Gotham. The Philosophy aspect is mainly what principle Bruce has and decision he made based on it. Both aspect is a good build up from the start till the end and now I know why people love Batman.
arenbilover I love almost everything about this movie. It is dark, serious and intense. I also think it's an oscarworthy performance by Christian Bale who has to capture a lot of emotional nuances in this. What makes this movie miss the 10/10 mark for me is how Nolan chooses to add some cheesy stuff in the end to explain what's going on for the "assumed to be dumb" audience. By the way, the Batman suit were WAY more intimidating and cool in this movie than in the sequels. While The Dark Knight might be the better movie overall, Begins takes it as the greatest superhero movie ever made. TDK is more of a Thriller where Batman happens to pop up everynow and then (I'm overexaggerating obviously) while Batman Begins really is a movie about Batman/Bruce Wayne himself.
