Batman Begins - Awesome Movie!

Wow, I just watched Batman Begins today. I was totally blown away. The plot was ingenious! Halfway into the show, I thought the movie was about to end, but it suddenly picks up again and ties up the whole story together with a very satisfying finish! I won't give away any spoilers here because the plot was essentially what made the movie a totally enjoyable experience for me.

The cast was great. There's the usual Bruce Wayne and Alfred, now joined by Lucius Fox (great addition) and Commis..., I mean, Sergeant Gordon (who played a very huge & deserving role in the movie; I like him very much). The villains were awesome, too. Ra's Al Ghul was a total surprise and very excellently done; the whole League of Shadows thing (yup, they weren't called 'Assassins' here) was just great. Dr. Jonathan Crane (aka Scarecrow) was very sinister & psychotic, yet sophisticated for a villain (he poisons people with his trademark 'fear gas'). For the observant, even the obscure Mr. Zsazz makes an appearance in two scenes.


I'd highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys the action/superhero genre. It puts all the previous Batman movies to shame with its darker and more mature theme. I really hope they release a sequel to this since this show kinda re-writes the history of Batman laid down by all the previous movies. I'll rate it 4.5 out of 5.
