Batman Begun

Oh Chrisy boy, oh Chrisy boy - Christopher Nolan - my hero, has resurrected the legacy that is Batman - and what a great job too!

Obviously I've just seen Batman Begins and hot damn it's a cool piece of work.

Even Joey from Dawson's Creek (as she will forever been known) wasn't too grating.

Admittedly I've been a fan of Christian Bale for a while (particularly since American Psycho - great film by the way) so watching him open a serious can of whoop ass on the old baddies was pretty fun.

The film mostly focuses on Bruce Wayne's story, and deviates from the comics just a bit (if you know some of the history) it doesn't matter because they've done such a damn good job of reviving the Batman series.

Excellent film - 5 out 5 (though still doesn't beat Sin City!)
