Batman Begins (Christopher Nolan, 2005)


Batman Begins (Christopher Nolan, 2005)
Rating: 7.0

Batman Begins wields fantastic visuals, and the most plausible superhero story I've seen (I typically hate these kinds of movies). Nolan blends the comic book world with realism and avoids pandering for the most part. There is even some decent surface level philosophical discussion about "justice." I agree with the complaints about the fight sequences being poorly executed, but Bale's voice didn't bother me. I interpreted it as his way of both taking on another persona and throwing his voice in an attempt to intimidate criminals and disguise his identity. If only they could have avoided including the random child interaction scene which is so flagrantly abused in comic book movies.
