Christopher Nolan did a phenomenal job directing this movie, as he does with all of his movies. He’s just a very talented filmmaker. An auteur in a system that doesn’t produce as many of them as it used to.
Cinematographer, Wally Pfister, who worked on all three of the movies in the trilogy, and Editor Lee Smith, who also worked on all three movies in the trilogy – deserve credit too for helping bring Nolan’s Batman vision to life.
Score, takes your breath away, fits each scene and moment with absolute perfection. Action and Fight and Chase Scenes are smooth and easy to watch and you can see what is going on at all times.
Acting is top notch from Bale who embodies Bruce and Batman perfectly. Great casting. Bale, as he always does, disappeared into the role.
Morgan and Micheal, and Cillian, and Liam – amazing casting too, they capture their characters perfectly like Bale. Katie was a bit of a miss but she did enough to make the character work and she held her own in each scene.
Effects, amazing, Batman’s suit looks awesome. Love seeing the suit being built and how it progressed from a simple disguise to something much more elaborate. Like the look of the Scarecrow too – creepy stuff.
Tumbler – amazing vehicle for Batman. Perfectly fit this movie in tone and style. Sounds incredible in the theater or with really good headphones.
Might be my favorite version of Gotham City. Close second – Gotham in Batman 89.
And this movie also has major horror vibes all over it – glowing eyes, oozing faces, scarecrows transformation, and on and on it goes – Probably the most horrific of the entire trilogy. And it’s another reason, along with the origin story, why it’s my favorite Batman movie.
Now, the haiku
A hero rises
Born from tragedies ashes
Conquering his fear
That’s it. Thoughts about Batman Begins. Love it. Hate it. Best or worst in the trilogy. Take care and have a good one.
