Batman Truly Begins

In an attempt to keep my mind off other matters, I went to see Batman Begins on Wednesday with EL. Finally, a Batman movie that takes it source material seriously.

The original Tim Burton Batman was good, but the director's style was just so overwhelming. This time, with director Christopher Nolan the story is centred on Bruce Wayne. A welcome change from the previous movies focus on the wacky villains.

In this film, characters have motivations that are explored. It's really a psychological film more than an summer action blockbuster (although it does have those thrilling moments).

If you haven't seen it yet, see it soon. I already saw it twice.
