Batman Begins

Batman fans have dying to know about the origin of the Dark Knight. The movie Batman Begins finally tells the story of how Bruce Wayne became the defender of Gotham City. Bruce (Christian Bale) is a prisoner in a third world country, until he’s saved by Ducard (Liam Neeson) a strange man who tells him to bring a blue flower to the temple of the mysterious Ra’s Al Gaul (Ken Wannabee). He tells Wayne that Gaul can help him overcome his fear of bats, and the guilt he feels about the death of his parents.

Gaul is the leader of the League of Shadows whose mission is to destroy Gotham. To do this they use Wayne Industry’s technology, and a poison created by Dr. Crane a.k.a. The Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy) that causes its victims to have hallucinations and panic attacks.

Unfortunately for the villains, Batman has some tricks up his sleeves, and some help from Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) who provides him with the gear, and the cool tank like car that he drives in the movie.

Diehard fans will love Warner Brothers latest attempt to revive the Batman franchise, after the failure that was Batman & Robin. This is the coolest Batman film since Batman Forever, which like this one had a great cast. Batman Begins is a thriller that will leave you the edge of your seat.

I give this movie an 8 out of 10
