Batman Begins, a review by addicted2dvd

Batman Begins
In 'BATMAN BEGINS', acclaimed director Christopher Nolan explores the origins of the legendary DARK KNIGHT. In the wake of his parents' murders, disillusioned heir BRUCE WAYNE (CHRISTIAN BALE) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. With the help of his trusted butler ALFRED (MICHAEL CAINE), detective JIM GORDON (GARY OLDMAN) and his ally LUCIUS FOX (MORGAN FREEMAN), Wayne returns to GOTHAM CITY and unleashes his alter ego: BATMAN, a masked crusader who uses strength, intellect and an array of high-tech weaponry to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.

My Thoughts:
Christian Bale is the most recent actor to take on the role of Batman. This one of course is to be separate from the previous movies. And is back to a darker version of Batman.Once again it is a nice change from what I was currently watching. I think they did a wonderful job on this movie I enjoyed every second of it. I especially enjoyed Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman. I also enjoyed the Scarecrow storyline. Actually I can't think of much of anything I didn't like. It is a long movie.. clocks in at 2hrs and 19min... but you wouldn't know it while watching as time just flies by as you are watching. I never got to see the sequel to this (The Dark Night) as I never go to the theaters anymore... but can't wait to check it out.

Plot:
According to a recent study, 63% of American families are now considered dysfunctional. According to Christopher Titus, that makes him a proud member of the majority. Welcome to the extremely dysfunctional -- and semi-autobiographical -- world of Christopher Titus' screwed-up relationships with his loving girlfriend (Cynthia Watros), his not-too-bright kid brother (Zack Ward), his flamboyantly-anal best friend (David Shatraw), his manic-depressive schizophrenic mother, and most of all, his five-times-divorced, wussy-hating, abusive father (Stacy Keach). It's a darkly hilarious ride through a life filled with suicide, alcoholism, dementia, violence, crime, comas, restraining orders and more. This is not your average 'happy family' sitcom. This is TITUS.

This collection includes 33 complete episodes -- featuring such guest stars as David Hyde Pierce, Jay Leno, Richard Benjamin and Ed Begley Jr.Titus

A perfect introduction to the series and its humor. How the main characters think their dad his died because he hasn't left his room for four days and are afraid to check on him. And as a viewer you only see the dad in flashbacks and as a first time viewer you think this is how the series will play out.
