Review of Batman Begins (2005) by Jacob M — 15 Apr 2016

Story: The origins of the Caped Crusader of Gotham City are finally brought to the big screen in this new adaptation of the perennially popular comic-book series. The young Bruce Wayne (Gus Lewis) leads a privileged life as the son of wealthy, philanthropist parents, both of whom stress their commitment to improving the lives of the citizens of crime-ridden Gotham City. After his mother and father are murdered by a mugger, however, Wayne grows into an impudent young man (Christian Bale), full of rage and bent on retribution until encouraged by his childhood sweetheart, Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes), to search for answers beyond his own personal vendettas. Wayne eventually finds discipline in the Far East under the tutelage of Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson), a member of the mysterious League of Shadows who guides him in the study of martial arts -- and the ways in which an ordinary man can hone his senses to an almost superhuman acuity. After seven years away from Gotham, Wayne returns, determined to bring peace and safety back to the city. With the help of his faithful manservant, Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine), and Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), a scientist at his late father's corporation, Wayne develops a secret identity as Batman, a masked fighter for justice. But when a shady psychiatrist (Cillian Murphy) joins forces with the criminal underworld, Wayne realizes that putting an end to their nefarious plans will be very difficult indeed.

The First Part of a Epic Trilogy from Nolan and its Fantastic.

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman - Bale is a great Batman, very hard dedication to the role of being Batman.

Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth - Michael Caine plays the perfect Alfred how can not love Michael Caine lol, Alfred is just a badass.

Liam Neeson as Henri Ducard/Ra's al Ghul - I am never ever big fan of Liam Neeson, but I love him as Ra's al Ghul, the true Villain of the movie.

Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes - meh.

Gary Oldman as James Gordon - just fantastic casting.

Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane / Scarecrow - it was nice to finally see Scarecrow..... but he was a weak minor villain.

Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox - its Morgan Freeman come on XD.

The Action in the movie is great.

The Score from Hans Zimmer is amazing.

Well Shot as always.

Very nice Realist Batman World from Nolan that he wanted not Comic Book.

That Bat Voice lol you get used to it after awhile.

It was cool to see the actual Origin of Batman.

Overall: My favorite movie of 2005 fucking amazing movie from one of my favorite Directors who reimagined my Favorite Super Hero.

Overall Grade: A+.
