Batman Begins

11.14.2005

This movie has to be the greatest Batman movie ever made. The action, character development, and story all together were awesome. It's a breath of fresh air compared to this other crap that's been coming out lately. Christian Bale is probably one of the best actors I know of, and he was the only person to get both Batman and Bruce Wayne down almost perfect. If you've never seen any of his movies, this is definitely one to check out. I can also recommend American Psycho, Equilibrium, and The Machinist. This is a definite movie to add to your collection if I ever saw one.

I'll be upfront and admit that I've never really liked Batman very much. I just seem him as the non-super hero, since he doesn't have any powers at all, and is just a rich guy with a bunch of cool toys. Besides that, the old Batman movies just didn't really hold my attention long enough to entertain me much.

But this movie changed all of that. They did everything right in this movie to make it a really great film. The acting is incredible, the direction, story, action sequences...All of it just fell together perfectly. Christian Bale is definitely the best actor that's taken on the role of Bruce Wayne AND Batman. Michael Keaton was a great Batman, but an iffy Bruce Wayne, and Val Kilmer was a great Bruce Wayne but an iffy Batman. George Clooney was just sort of...there...But Christian Bale actually fits both roles perfectly, which makes for a much more entertaining cinematic adventure.

Although I don't usually get big into bonus features at all, I was a bit bugged by the fact that the Batman Begins DVD only has bonus features available through a DVD-ROM drive on a computer. It just seemed really odd, to me, since almost every DVD has at least some bonus features that are accessible by just about everybody. Regardless, though, Batman Begins is definitely a movie that has to be added to your DVD collection.

Great!
