Batman Begins

The past Sunday I went to watch it with Taci, I was expecting a good film, but not that much.

Superheroes are in fashion, but, in this years of super heroic avalanche, only Marvel franchises had have a cinematographic version, now DC Comics has started to do so. Christopher Nolan, director of Memento, has perform the task of making the first Batman film after the terrible Batman and Robin of Joel Schumacher. The result has been impressive.

A magnificent cast in which all the performances were very good. Particularly, I love the ones of Michael Caine as Alfred and Gary Oldman as Sergeant Gordon. Every actor has his own moment of glory, the dialogs has lots of details that help to make the characters deeper. Liam Neeson, master, powerful, and wise, guides Bruce Wayne to fight his fears. Kate Holmes teaches the truth meaning of justice to Batman. Morgan Freeman, as usual, superb. The Scarecrow, incredible, inspires fear without bean exaggerated. It's curious that such a good thing came out from the writer of Blade.

The film will have things that some might like and others not. To me, everything looked fantastic. Batman is a little less cold, more human, compare to the one we used to know, and darker too, what makes him more interesting. The suit on screen seems better than in posters, and we can see lots of details in the gadgets this superhero uses. In my opinion, the new Batmovil was great, I liked it a lot, "what a piece of junk", at last we see some meaning to the fire exhaust in the back. The world of this legend has achieved a very high level, the Batcave now is more like a cave than ever, Gotham City looks like a real city, and everything has that "feeling" of being there for years.

From the beginning to the end, well done, unlike the rest of superhero films that always has some weak moments (as Renis remind me). It keeps the tension and the emotion through the film, and for the genre it forms part, is a great achievement. I recommend you this film.

-Why a bat?
-Because I'm afraid of them. Now my enemies will share this fear with me.
