Review:
The cast assembled for Batman Begins is world class and the casts performance's are a large factor in the success of the movie. Christian Bale is extremely good in Batman Begins, his body transformation is outstanding and his voice is the perfect fit for Batman. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are standouts and provide great performances in supporting roles. Every single piece of dialogue from both is quotable. I liked Katie Holmes in the role of Rachel Dawes, so I would have preferred her to stay on in the role in subsequent movies (rather than Maggie Gyllenhaal). And finally Gary Oldman who, besides Heath Ledger (Joker,) probably plays my favourite character in the whole trilogy, Jim Gordon.
Batman Begins is grounded. Christopher Nolan successfully explains the multitude of Batman's gadgets so that the audience believes Batman could exist in our world. He does this by drawing on real life military equipment. For example, The Batmobile or The Tumbler is based on a genuine military vehicle.
The action in Batman Begins is incredible. Batman's first fight in the movie is perhaps one of the best in the trilogy. I really enjoyed the way Batman remains in the shadows to surprise goons and even when he's not in the shadows you never really get a good look at him. Until of course the iconic line "I'm Batman."
The only slight negative is that a couple of the flashback scenes are cliched and cringe-worthy which kind of draws me out of the movie for a brief moment.
