'Batman Begins' voted 'Favourite Film of 2005'

     London: Christopher Nolan's 'Batman Begins' has been named the "Most Favourite Film of 2005" by the readers of Total Film magazine. "Batman Begins was a smart but funny reinvention of an iconic figure and had fantastic performances. It was also excellently directed by Christopher Nolan," the BBC quoted Nev Pierce, deputy editor of the magazine, as saying. "Film fans want more and Batman Begins overcomes the horrible taste that previous outing Batman and Robin left in people's mouths," he added. Scottish actor Ian McDiarmid, who played Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, won the "Best Movie Villain" in the poll of 15,000 readers of the magazine. "We had more people voting for our awards this year than ever before and 2006 looks set to be another great year at the box office," said the editor. Mickey Rourke won "Man of the Year" for his role as street fighter Marv in Sin City, while Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's squirrels was honoured with "Best Movie Animal" award. War of the Worlds star Dakota Fanning was acclaimed the "Best Child Actor" for her part in Steven Spielberg's film about alien invasion of earth.
