What can I say, what has not been said in praise of this movie? I must state, that I am not that much a fan of movie adaptations of comic books, but "Batman Begins" really took me in at once. A wonderful screenplay, a versatile director and a great cast - Christian Bale is born to play Bruce Wayne - and the excellent idea of anti-type casting by making Liam Neeson play the villain (after a crucial twist) and Gary Oldman as the good honest and decent cop and Batman allie as well as Tom Wilkinson playing a mobster really pays off. But the best actor in the movie for me is Irishman Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow. I haven't seen 28 DAYS, so I did not know him, but he really swept me... |
