Hit – Starring Christain Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Ken Watanabe

This is the story of how Bruce Wayne became Batman.

I enjoyed this Batman movie the most out of the Batman series. Christian Bale is by far the best Batman of the group. Although, I previously favored Val Kilmer’s Batman, I found that Christian Bale (and the writers) created a Batman with a lot of character.

Katie Holmes played the love interest well, but I feel Christopher Nolan should have stuck with the blonde theory that is so evident in the rest of the series. Christopher Nolan’s direction was well executed but the main thing that drives me crazy are the action sequences that look like they were shot on with a handheld camera. The first example of this type of action sequence (that I have noticed) came in The Bourne Supremacy, and now I have had enough. To me it looks very unprofessional.

What struck my attention the most is the non-existent title sequence of the film. We do not see any credits until the end of the movie. Bravo to whoever made that executive decision because it really makes a difference- it hooks the audience right away.

Batman Begins is the best Batman movie by far because of the depth in which they explore the character of Bruce Wayne, the city of Gotham, and the characters surrounding Bruce Wayne. Bottom Line: This Bat will cause a box-office blowout.

Best Scene: There are many, but I really enjoy when Batman calls for bat-up (backup).

Action Drama

Rated PG-13 for intense action violence, disturbing images and some thematic elements.

Running Time: 2 hours 20 minutes.
