Batman Begins

CriticsCritics: 78
AudienceAudience: 8.3

Haunted by tragedy, a billionaire returns to his crime-ridden home city determined to confront its corruption. Unable to make a difference through ordinary channels, he draws on years of training and creates a masked identity designed to make criminals fear him.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like thoughtful superhero origin stories, a serious tone, and a hero shaped by fear and loss; Not for you if you want constant action or a lighter, more playful adventure.
