About this movie

As a young boy, Bruce Wayne watched in horror as his millionaire parents were slain in front of him--a trauma that leads him to become obsessed with revenge. But the opportunity to avenge his parents' deaths is cruelly taken away from him by fate. Fleeing to the East, where he seeks counsel with the dangerous but honorable ninja cult leader known as Ra's Al-Ghul, Bruce returns to his now decaying Gotham City, which is overrun by organized crime and other dangerous individuals manipulating the system. Meanwhile, Bruce is slowly being swindled out of Wayne Industries, the company he inherited. The discovery of a cave under his mansion, along with a prototype armored suit, leads him to assume a new persona, one which will strike fear into the hearts of men who do wrong; he becomes Batman!!!

Was skeptical before I watched it cause this movie franchise has had so many ups and downs although you don't have to do much better to beat Batman and Robin. I liked this fresh start on the Batman saga. It did not hurt them having awesome actors playing key characters either. It's worth the money, watch and enjoy.

I admit to not liking this movie originally but it has grown on me over the years. It actually gets better with the movies that followed it although it still isn't my favorite of the "trilogy." Liam Neeson is always a favorite and his role here is tons of fun to watch. Think of this one as the "birth" of Batman, wrinkly skin and all.
