It has occurred to me that I have talked about the movie “The Dark Knight” but not “Batman Begins.” Like I stated in my introduction “The Dark Knight” is my favorite movie, which is the sequel to “Batman Begins.” In this movie Batman (played by Christian Bale) goes up against Dr. Johnathan Crane a.k.a The Scarecrow (played by Cillian Murphy). After defeating him Batman learns that his former teacher Ra's al Ghul (palyed by Ken Watanabe), who taught him everything is really still alive and behind The Scarecrow. He learns his plan is to release a hallucinogen, a substance that causes hallucinations, into the air to destroy Gotham City. The movie is a little bit more complicated than that but that about sums it up. I have a thing for Batman movies so I had high expectation for this one. I liked the way they had a plot twist with Batman’s old master being the real villain. In my opinion the beat movies will always be the ones that surprise you in the end. “Batman Begins” was a great movie and “The Dark Knight” was a phenomenal movie, which makes me a little nervous about the next Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises,” being a total flop. The movie does not come out till next year and I hope it can live up to its predecessors.
*I give “Batman Begins” a 9 out of 10*
I remember seeing part of this movie and I felt rather disappointed where the direction this movie went. First and foremost I wanted to see the Joker in this movie, but I guess they wanted to be different than any other Batman movie. I heard the Dark Knight is the best Batman movie out to date, yet I never saw it. Would you recommend it? All the people who have seen it have bashed me in the head and telling me I should see it. I feel that it would be the same formula, unless someone proves me wrong with a review.
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie! It scared the living guacamole out of me though! I am a baby when it comes to action and scary movies. We have this thing called greek sing where each frat is paired with a sorority. We are given an overall theme which is superheroes. Our superhero is Batman! I watched this movie to get in the mood and be inspired! I can't wait!!!
