"Batman Begins" (2005) - Movie Classics

If you take all the super hero movies, one thing always stands out which are the Action scenes. If you are going to expect that in Batman Begins, you will be terribly disappointed. People who want to take their kids to show their favorite super hero hitting bad guys can cancel their tickets.

Then what does this movie have which made me put the Title as “Batman Rocks”. To start with, the seriousness of the movie. The real reason why Batman born in first place has been dealt and given in a beautiful manner. When you have great director Christopher Nolan who gave us “The Memento” and “Insomnia”, you can be assured that there is more to this movie than normal comic hero.

The movie starts of with Bruce Wayne in a prison trying to prove his point in Life, “Punish the people who go against justice”. The real purpose of doing that involves more to it which he learns from his mentor, done beautifully by Liam Neeson. Things like guilt, anger and fear have been given a different explanation. And when Bruce comes to know that the whole philosophy of eradicating criminals by his mentor which goes crazy, he escapes. This really brings out why he becomes a super hero. Even though the whole philosophy was molded by his mentor, he takes the good things and leaves the bad things. A tough thing to do by a normal man. Then starts his journey towards saving the Gotham City from the scum of the universe.

Christian Bale is a potential artist and I realized it when I saw “American Psycho”. He has matured a lot as an actor from that point onwards. The casting is done to perfection. The Back ground score of the movie is in each and every scene. You will never realize the power of it until the end when the names show up. The only draw backs in the movie were the Action sequences. You will never know who hit whom in the fight. Nolan should have concentrated some more in this department which would have made this movie complete. Finally, Batman makes you think and understand the realism involved in it. I liked Spider Man mainly due to the characterization and it goes the same for Batman. I would say it went more than Spider Man.

Not recommended for Action people but strongly recommended to see a different Batman.
