Christopher Nolan reboots the Batman franchise with the dark and gritty Batman Begins. In this re-envisioning billionaire Bruce Wayne seeks out Ra's al Ghul and trains with the League of Shadows to gain the skills necessary to fight crime. Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, and Liam Neeson lead an all-star cast full of strong performances. Yet while there's an interesting story here, the writing is poor and the film falls apart in the last act. Additionally, the film lacks a strong villain and a thematic score. Batman Begins presents an impressive new vision, but it’s not a strong, cohesive one.
