Batman Begins

Batman Begins: The caped crusader is back and this time Christian Bale is the man under the suit. As the Title of the film suggests this is the story of how Bruce Wayne became batman. We pick up with some flash backs from his childhood and the tragic events that happen to his parents. We then see him training in various martial arts and fighting techniques --this leads him back to Gotham City to fight crime. Sticking with the trend of the new super hero movies, they try to make every thing practical and work in the real world. The action sequences are good, nothing outstanding, the acting from Bale as the new Batman is solid (I liked the choice) and Michael Cain plays Alfred to the tee, the story holds up well, but failed to WOW me. This is a very solid superhero movie which is very entertaining.
