REVIEW: Batman Begins

Don't know why it's taken me this long to get this review up... what with me going to see this movie on three seperate occasions, but on to the good stuff:

Best Batman flick, period. This is what my favorite superhero should be about. Christian Bale makes an outstanding Bruce Wayne/Batman. The scenes where he was jumping people from the shadows were almost terrifying, a tribute to what Batman was all about, provoking fear in criminals. Dr. Crane/Scarecrow was wonderfully done. Ra's Al Ghul/Ducard was perfect with Liam Neeson. About the only problem I had with this movie was Katie Holmes, and even she became more tolerable after each viewing. Sure it has it's flaws (i.e. a microwave emitter that vaporize people, just all the free standing water), but it achieved what it set out to do, restart Batman on the big screen.

One thing that I really noticed the last time I watched it was how great the music for the movie was. That's a great sign of a good movie, finding something new to be impressed by each time you watch it.

Rating == 3.5/4.0
