Batman Begins the best one yet

I can't say I ever really cared for the Batman series, but I decided to try this one out, mostly because of the new Batmobile (mobile is hardly the word... more like tank) and, well, Katie Holmes. But I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with it. I walked in thinking it'd be another stupid, cartoonish superhero movie with villains with cheesy lines and a sappy love story. Sure, there were still some elements of that, but overall I think Christopher Nolan did a professional job with it. The acting was above par and the action scenes were pretty phenomenal. Liam Neeson's character in particular had me intrigued. The whole concept of the "League of Shadows" being this secret organization that brings down corrupt civilizations (they claim they were the ones that sacked Rome, conquered the Byzantines, razed London, and brought on the Black Plague) all in the name of justice (with a sort of pseudo-Hegelian twist) was hardly conceivable, but still made for a cool movie. In any case, this film is definitely worth its weight in gold on the entertainment scale. Not to mention the ending has you begging for a sequel (not giving anything away...).

Props, Mr. Nolan.
