Batman Begins: A Quick Review

Let's be honest here, Batman Begins blew your mind when it came out. It was like holy crap, a series that was handled so horribly in the 90's has risen to the very top of superhero movies.

Everyone knows the story of Batman. His Parents died, but he's super rich so he devotes his life to defending the defenseless from evil and inspiring terror inside those who cause terror. And that's the best part about it. He has absolutely no super powers. He defintely trains and is buffer than Brad Pitt in Troy, but besides that the only thing that sets him apart from regular people is his gadgets and Batman Begins shows them in a completely believeable fashion.

My one gripe with the movie is that the action gets very slurred at points. The camera flashes back and forth between the puncher and the punchee and it gets fairly dizzying. But the fantastic origin story, visuals, general awesomeness, and incredible sequel make Batman Begins worth every penny. In my opinion, this is the very best Batman movie ever made. Yes, better than The Dark Knight and the original Tim Burton directed Batman. If you argue with me I will prove you wrong.
