Saw “Batman Begins” on Thursday night.
Absolutely bloody brilliant. The best Batman movie ever. The definitive Batman movie.
Easily better than “Batman Forever” & “Batman & Robin” (not hard – they were awful!), but also miles better than both of Tim Burton’s Batman movies.
Really, really, good. The direction, the cast, the story, the look & feel, the action, everything was great.
Also borrowed ideas from Frank Miller’s “Year One”, re-telling Batman’s origin & giving more info on his background & his pre-Batman training.
Really well done.
Plus, as it ignores all the other Batman movies, & wipes the slate clean, it provides a nice fresh start for future Batman movies, & means the Joker & so on can once again be used.
