Film Review - Batman Begins (2005)

With the Dark Knight now in cinemas, I thought I would go back and revisit Batman Begins, the predeceasing film, the story concerns a young Bruce Wayne who sees his parents murdered in front of him, following this he retreats to an unknown part of the world to train himself so that when he returns to Gotham, he can take on the criminals and corrupt, but the newly formed Batman will have to deal with more than that.


So how does Batman Begins compare to Dark Knight, well Dark Knight is easily the better film but Christopher Nolan’s first Batman film is no slouch either, Christian Bale is very good as Batman/Bruce Wayne as are others, but if there was a weak link it would be the love story being shoehorned in and the storyline with the water supply running a little long.


But all in all, this deserves a firm 4 out of 5 and nicely sets the stage for the future.
