Batman Begins

Today, Diana and myself decided to go to the cinema(she done alot of convincing, cos i was’t going to at first)but i’ve been looking forward to this film since I heard about it. I was a bit unsure though, after the last batman film(won’t even mention it by name), but actually, i was TOTALLY blown away by it.

Storyline-This details how Bruce Wayne, becomes Batman. It’s done exceptionally well. It isn’t told as some linear story. It has Bruce dreaming of old, trying to figure out what he is afraid of in order to become fear as Batman.

Cast:

Christian Bale-Batman/bruce Wayne- The BEST Batman EVER. No joke. He IS Batman. His actions, his speech, everything. Not only that, but he is an excellent Bruce Wayne. We see him grow and become The Dark Knight, the reasons why,and how he was trained.

Liam Neeson-Bruce’s fighting mentor-Really good on screen presence. His fight scenes are good, wouldn’t expect anything less from him.

Morgan freeman-Token black man/Lucious Fox-He is actually the token black man of the movie, and you know, he’s fantastic. This guy dishes out all the gadgetry that Bruce needs to be Batman, including the bat mobile.

Michael Caine-Alfred-He’s great as Alfred, Bruce’s butler and friend. Helps shape Bruce into batman.

Special Effects-Top class and not over used. the bat CGI is good, as is the explosions etc.

Stunts- Bale did alot of his own stunts and he sure got a punding from it, cos they were really good. The car chase is in there also, which is top class.

Overall- Best batflick ever. Bale tops the chart. This is defo worth a trip to the cinema, and one to own on DVD when it comes out.

    My only point of contention is with Lucious Fox being deemed the “token” black guy. I’m showing my colors as a comics nerd, but Lucious, as you’ll see when they get around to doing the sequel, is a force. He’s like Alfred in the board room. He’s no Batman, be he holds his own.

    He is a great character, Morgan Freeman does play him well. I love the way he just dishes out all these gadgets he has lying around, hell, he made most of them.

    He is the only black main character, thus why he got the token black man status.
