Batman Begins Review

Good Points
Returns to the orginal concept illustrated by Tim Burtons interpretation.

Bad Points
As the film rating was quite low, action scenes were often obscured or not shown.

General Comments
This film had alot to live up to, espcially after the dismal performances and plot lines of Batman Forever and Batman & Robin. And thankfully it succeeded! Christian Bale manages to "round out" Bruce Wayne, where Michael Keaton failed. Michael Cane, as ever, a great actor, as the charming Alfred... True Brit Wit prevails. The casting in general was good, apart from the character of Katie Holmes. Her annoying lip slant and slightly tranced look, doesn't present well on to the big screen.


The sound, atmosphere, set, lighting and dialougue was of a good standard. The plot line is enough to keep the audience watching. It may have some ridiculous twists and turns, but is grounded in reality by its dark undertone.


Well done for making the film what it should have been!
