Review of Batman Begins (2005) by Piotr R — 05 Aug 2017

'Batman Begins' is the one and only flick that started the era of superhero blockbusters -- and it is a movie that deeply cares of the character behind the mask, not only what the outside represents. It all begins with a unique concept to the main antagonist; Ra's al Ghul, and what his motivations are. This pushes our main hero; Bruce Wayne to the greater good. It's a story that focus big on positivity, humanity and the overall purpose of society -- this deeply made the whole plot a lot more unique than one expected to experience. It's a surreal popcorn-event of realistic action with a pacing that really delivers a thrilling third act. A lot of credit to C Nolan is indeed needed -- even though the film would have surpassed expectations even more if the characters would have had more development and inner struggles to them, less expositions and some lesser cheesy moments. But its way of really have a thrilling story, a surreal and closely developed character and a score that redefines the meaning of epicness -- is something not often seen on screen.
