Not Just Another Superhero Movie

Lately it seems as if every other movie to hit the theaters is a superhero flick.  Most people are growing a little sick of it.  Between the Spiderman series, The Hulk, Iron Man, Superman, and so many other (sub-par) superhero films, it's getting old.

However, one film that sticks out to me within this category is Batman Begins.  Mainly because Bruce Wayne is not only a superhero, he's a hero.  He is respectable, dignified, and not to mention, quite handsome.

Bruce Wayne is played by (in my opinion) one of the best actors of the era, Christian Bale. 

Although Bale has been around for two decades, to many viewers he is still up-and-coming.  I think that Bale is just now coming into his own, after a random group of films such as Newsies, Swing Kids, Little Women, American Psycho, etc.  

Batman helped Bale to show his acting chops in an entirely new light.  He plays an amazing hero, who not only learns how to save others, but also to save his soul from dying.  

I loved this film.  It is not only a great superhero movie, but a great movie in general with excellent life lessons.

I can not wait for the release of the sequel The Dark Knight which will be released on July 18th of this year.  This movie is also highly anticipated due to the fact that it also stars Heath Ledger, who passed away earlier this year.  Because of that, the film is sure to become a cult classic.
