We finally see true Batman character development!!! Thank God!!
Bale: Absolutely owns the Batman/Wayne character. His interpritation of both sides of the coin really shows what a true actor (that's right, Keaton, Kilmer, and Cloony, you bastards) can do with this wonderful role. Spoiler: In his scenes with Liam, you can truely believe his hate and fear. There was something genuine about the way Wayne reacted to the loss of his parents and his wanting to take an active, if unique role in understanding and destroying crime.
Neeson: Oh...my...God. I've loved this actor since after that terrible House on Haunted Hill movie. The strength he can portray is astounding, only being superceeded by Edward James Olmos in the modern world of acting. His character is able to play dual roles as Spoiler: both mentor and antagonist, and is able to make the seamless transition between them.
Holmes: If a bit nipple happy, Holmes plays the heroine and romantic interest with surprising ability, inspite of her limited experience.
Oldman: Perfect, PERFECT as Gordon!! I never would have guessed that the same actor that played the cop on le Professional could play an iconic 'good cop' so well.
Caine: Caine is always able to add a bit of both classs, and kindness to a movie. He lends both very well in this movie. I'm glad he decided to take the role.
Freeman: Somehow the man who's played God can always have astounding presence. Who knew?
Director Nolan: Why'd we hire Burton again? Nolan should have been on board the Batman train from day one. He was able to expertly give the perfect setting to support the fantastic cast as well as developing the Batman story in a way that no one has been able to manage yet. It's clear that Nolan is a true Batman fan, unlike past directors (who all suck balls, btw).
Out of a possible 10 stars, Batman Begins recieves a 9.7 (my highest score to date).
