										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last night I watched Batman Begins for the first time (though I&#8217;ve owned the DVD for almost a year).  I was very impressed &#8211; I thought it was a great movie.  In terms of the story, Batman Begins is supposed to take place before all of the other Batman movies (and is supposed to begin a second telling of these movies).  The darkness of Batman&#8217;s training and the dedication of bringing fear into the feared of Gotham was displayed very well by the director and actors.  Excellent job on all accounts.</p>
<p>Unless I&#8217;m forgetting something, I do not recall a final fate for the crime boss (Falcone), though.  But that&#8217;s ok.  Scarecrow&#8217;s defeat and the seeming destruction of the League of Shadows was a good end for the movie.  I also really liked the creation of the bat cave and the interplay between Alfred and the young Bruce Wayne.</p>
<p>Morgan Freeman was an excellent choice for his role as was Rutger Hauer.  Both played their parts to the &#8220;t.&#8221;  Great job.  I wasn&#8217;t a major fan of Katie Holmes&#8217; acting because some of it seemed forced, but that may be a function of her not being that great of an actress.  Someone who gave a great acting performance was Gary Oldman as Officer Gordon &#8211; almost perfect.</p>
<p>I highly recommend this movie, even though I&#8217;m about a year and a half behind the curve on supporting it!</p>
