Short Movie Review: Batman Begins

Just saw the movie Batman Begins tonight. It was a good movie. They sure packed a lot into it. This was more psychological drama/thriller than action/adventure - although it did have action.

All superhero movies (well, the good ones) have an element of psychology in them. We get to know the reason(s) behind the heroics/villany. Batman Begins goes deeper.

We see the internal struggle of Bruce Wayne as he is driven toward his Batman persona. The character is much more defined than in the other Batman movie (released earlier, but telling the stories about Batman's later life).

We even get to see the beginnings of Commissioner Gordon, which is a nice subplot. This movie ends where Batman (with Michael Keaton) begins. Yes, I see the irony.

Anyway, all in all a good film. Go see it.
