Batman Begins
The best superhero origin story right next to Iron Man. I've seen this movie more then any superhero movie ever probably, owned it on DVD for a long time now. It just perfectly tells Batmans origins in Nolan way.
I love the stuff with Bruce's dad, and how important his dad was to him. Bruce throughout the movie seeks to find a father figure, with Alfred and also Ra's al ghul.
Great performances across the board from Michael Caine as Alfred with his amazing life lessons and quotes. Morgan Freeman as Lucious Fox was perfect casting. Liam Neeson as Ra's al Ghoul sometime gets overshadowed by other protrayals in this trilogy but he is phenomenal.
Obviously the big debate is Christian Bale as Batman. Look I grew up with Bale as Batman. I will always have love for him as Batman. I also get some of the complaints and think some of it is justified. BUT he's my batman, while others might be better as Batman, his protrayl will always play an important role in my life growing up. Also Bales chemistry with Michael Cane is one of my favorite relationships in any movie. It's done so well throughout the trilogy, and wraps up perfectly.
My only complaint besides some of the ending CJI, is obviously Scarecrow. Cillian Murphy is perfect casting, but you just gotta use him more. Scarecrow is a legit Batman villian that just doesnt get his just due in this movie.
In the end possibly the best superhero origin story ever, and was a great start for one of the best trilogies ever.
