Batman Begins (2005)

Netflix Synopsis: After training with a ninja (Ken Watanabe) in Asia following his parents’ brutal murder, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) returns to Gotham City and finds it overrun with crime and corruption. Discovering a cave under Wayne Manor, Bruce assumes a new identity and wages a one-man war against the criminals that plague the city. Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Tom Wilkinson and Morgan Freeman co-star. Christopher Nolan directs.

Review: It was absolutely amazing. I love the backstory about Batman. It really adds to the comic book heroes to have a past, as was seen in Spiderman 2 where he seemed more “human”. Batman Begins, does the same thing, where you can see that being a superhero isn’t all that different than just being a person. I loved the underlying darkness to the story. The special effects were great and the acting was fantastic too. Definitely worth seeing, especially if you are a fan of these comic book movies.
