Batman Begins (2005)

After a number of mediocre (but entertaining) Batman sequels, Christopher Nolan decides to reincarnate the series into the 21st Century.

The Dark Knight returns and we get his story from the beginning, this time with Christian Bale as the Batman fighting corruption and crime in Gotham City after the death of his parents. A number of sub-plots enhance the storyline and add to the great action sequences.

Well directed, edited with great sound and colour along with a solid cast that includes Oscar winners Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, Batman Begins is a solid (but not masterful) return of the Dark Knight.

Solid, intense but not a masterpiece nor the best superhero film.

7/10
