Rebirth Of A Legend
If it weren't for its amazing sequel this would be the greatest superhero film ever made. The film that started it all... a Batman film but with a more realistic, gritty and original approach. If your a fan of Batman and you haven't seen this you are going to LOVE every minute. It is smart, innovative, awe-inspiring and for a bat-fan, iconic. Christopher Nolan focuses on the origin and story behind a man standing against justice rather than the quirky early attempts. Its just a shame that this isn't as popular as The Dark Knight because it deserves the glory just as much. If your new and you've only just seen TDK, watch this purely because it catapulted this reivnention of a hero to great heights. TDK has the rise of The Clown Prince Of Crime and the escallation that was inevitable. Batman Begins has the creation of Batman and the lengths of which he had to go in order to combat injustice in a city that did not know justice. Watch this, it is a classic.
10/10
Watching this will make you want to watch the dark knight, then that will make you want them to make a batman 3!
Tim Burton, eat your heart out!
It's not a sequel, it's not a prequel, it truly is a new beginning for the Caped Crusader. A stellar cast, breathtaking action scenes and a top-notch realistic tone tops it all off. Sit back and witness the rebirth of Batman.
