The batman epic - Batman Begins Reviews

Batman takes you through the journey that's never been told. From training of becoming a Ninja to conquering the only fear and becoming a symbol of fear for the crooks. I'm glad this one wasn't done until now. There is one element that wouldn't have worked back when the first ones came out. The aim to aww the audience works only now with the new quality of effects. It could now have been done then. This is merely a reason why I say I'm glad its done now. This movie is complete. The strongest aspect of any movie is a story. Sure if you casting right, you've done 80% of your work, but without the story only so much can be achieved. Start with batman (Bale), a dedicated actor like De Niro. In what sense? The same senses that it takes allot to risk so much for a movie. Most A-list actors don't risk as much. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've seen The Machinist. You won't recognize Bale in that movie. The man is 190lbs. He drops to 120-125 for the role. He is nothing but skin and bones. He didn't sleep, barely ate, just to make a fantastic movie. Only one other actor did that. It was De Niro... As I was watching this movie, I was amazed seeing all these great actors in one movie. Its got Michael Caine as Alfred. I tell you, he is good. Morgan freeman is in it, and this man has a strong screen presense. He plays role of wise old men to the greatest. Liam Neeson cann't be denied. I've recently been watching all of his movies. He plays a mentor better to the greatest. He plays an honest man to the greatest. Rob Roy, Kingdom of Heaven, even the Schindler's List. No wonder why every director are honored to have him play even the smallest of roles. Then we have Gary Oldman. I love this man. He knows he is talented. He has too many movies that put his performance above many. One of the greatest was the cracked up cop in The Professional. Tom Wilkinson brings the evil of a small timer mobster to life, natural. He has shown what he can do in every movie he has been in. Ken Watanabe was The Last Samurai in 2003. He too plays the role of a master. Why would all these people want to join this movie. First of all, the script is amazing. This movie is exciting, but not in a action packed sort of way. Please do not compare this to any of the old batman movies. All the batman fans know that. This movie has a plot... The story is one of the best stories this year so far. I'm including all the independent films as well. The story gets better and better as the film goes on. Once you think you've got it, there is a spin of a surprise waiting. It?s suspenseful. It?s amazing, and the action scenes are to the supreme. In this movie, batman has no limits. He does whatever. This movie's greatest asset is its director, Christopher Nolan best known for Memento. He writes and directs. He is such a smart director like Doug Limon (The Bourne Identity). Another reason why all the great actors want to work with him. Sum them all up, the cast, the story, the director, and batman. You've got the first epic Batman. Its an epic movie that works for all people, not just the fans. I know the fans are happy. I'm sure anybody who watches this movie will not be disappointed.
