Batman Begins

Christopher Nolan, USA, 2005
3.5 out of 4 stars

This worked a lot better for me the second time, in that it was easier for me to see and appreciate the nuance in this interpretation of Batman and his origin. The first time, I recognized it but wasn't entirely taken in with it. I was certainly impressed with how they had achieved an adaptation that was faithful and unfaithful to every version of Batman in one way or another. But I think watching it again, I saw how all the thematic elements worked so well together. A great film, I can say with confidence that I look forward to the sequel (despite having been proven wrong a few times with that).
