This movie is a new batman movie after the suck ass "batman and robin" movie in the 90s. The movie started off by introducing bruce wayne, the son of a millionair in gotham city. He witnessed his parents being killed in a robbery and that determined him to fight crime. He went to other country and train for 7 years, under a person with very strong sense of justice, rus al gul. At one point, they caught a theif, to them, every crime must be paid by death and the execution right were given to wayne. He reject the idea and then fight the entire school of justice servant, eventually he appareantly defeated rus al gul. He, then return to gotham city, uses the unsed equipment that the military do not want, developed by his company. Design a suit that is capable to glide, spy, eavesdropping, and bullet proof armour covering the entire body, shurikens on the shin, throwing knives at his...belt or somewhere, grappling hook and many more equipments. As wayne fights crime in his night life, he soon encounter scarecrow, which has the equipment to eject fear inducing toxin to an individual. After some researching, rus al gul appear once again in his party. Rus al gul intends to use the fear inducing toxin, co-op with the equipment, capable of evaporising liquid, to destroy the corrupted gotham city. Wayne got himself back into a section of the city to stop rus al gul to destroy the city. Both of them fought in the train, which contain the liquid vaporising equipment. With the help of gordon, his friend in the police department, they finally stop the destruction of gotham city. Sometime after the incident, gordon got contact with batman, telling him there is a criminal that wants to get to batman. The criminal left a card, indicating his identity.
Ok, comment time. This is by far, the best batman movie(2005 perspective). The cinematography and story telling is good. The best part of the movie is the car chasing scene, where batman drives his bat mobile(the tumbler) and outrun the police. The story is darker compared the previous few movies, the batsuits design is badass too. Talking about badass, when wayne became batman, his change his voice to a deeper pitch, which make batman even more badass. Listern to solid snake's voice and you will know it. There are 2 things I want to complain, first: The first hour or so of the movie is too much. Explaining how wayne got the idea of the batsuit, how he train, how he determine to fight crime was way too much, may be don't need that much of the time, just a little bit will do. Also, the movie is a little too long, only if the first hour hour were to be more exciting, it wouldn't be a problem.
Second: The fight scenes are poorly filmed, it was being cut and editing in a way that I can't see what is going on in the scene. Although with the complains, but this is a movie that worth watching.
Second movie I'm going to review will be the sequel of batman begins, the dark knight.
This movie started about the same time when batman begins ended. It started off by showing some robbers robbing a bank, in the end one of them killed the others and took off the mask. It is the Joker, nemesis of batman. Joker went to the mobs' boss to give idea on how to take down batman, although the bosses don't agree it a lot, but since taking down batman is their benefit, why not? Not to mention too many things in the movie, but one thing I can say is that two-face also make an appearance in this movie too.
Ok, there is a very big improvement compared this to the prequel. First thing that got improved is that the fighting scenes are more detailed and well edited, I can see what is happening in the fighting scenes. Second thing is that the props that was used got more and more explosions. The story are nice too, always got plot-twist here and there. One thing I'm very happy about is the joker. Everytime when I think about a clown, it's either a totally funny person or a really scary motherfucker. And guess what, heath ledger did a very good job in portraying a total crazy criminal that don't afraid of anything, just simply crazy. The showdown of joker and batman is always the highlight of every batman movie or series. I say this is the best batman movie ever, hope there will be a sequel to it.
