This movie was everything that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.starwars.com\/episdode-3\">Revenge of the Sith<\/a> should have been: a well written, cohesive and engaging story acted out by a superb cast that has been given stellar direction.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, Batman Begins in now my all-time favorite comic book movie. It has suplanted Batman (1989) in the top slot and pushed X-Men to third. I went to the 11:00 PM showing on Wednesday night with a bunch of co-workers (showing true geek dedication) and found it breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Walking out of the theatre, you ask, &#8220;What the hell am <em>I<\/em> doing with my life? I should be protecting the city from evil!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The best part is that we saw it on the Loews Lincoln Center IMAX screen which made it flat-out intense. I highly suggest seeing this movie in this manner &#8211; it is <em>totally<\/em> worth it. I had seen Apollo-13 on this screen but it was not as good because it wasn&#8217;t specially formatted for the IMAX screen &#8211; it was too big in many ways to enjoy. Batman however was specially formatted &#8211; it was letterboxed &#8211; and it looked fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>On the strength of 3 movies &#8211; Memento, Insomnia and Batman Begins &#8211; Christopher Nolan has now gained a place of esteem on my list of top directors, which basically means I will now go see <em>any<\/em> Christopher Nolan film in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Go and see this movie ASAP. Bat-time? Whenever you want. Bat-channel? Your local theatre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I cannot begin to say enough good things about Batman Begins and its stellar director Christopher Nolan.
