Batman Begins (again)
I already wrote up a little recap in here somewhere so I'll keep this one brief. I enjoyed this Batman film immensly. Christian Bale did a great job and the direction theat Christopher Nolan took to set up the back story of Bruce Wayne's parents, his fixation with bats, and his training was all very well done. Scarecrow has always been a relatively weak villain in my opinion, but I think they pulled the character off better than I would have expected. It was a bit disappointing that best Batman villain, The Joker, didn't make it into this film, but if you've seen it, you know he'll be in the next one so that's okay I guess. My only real objection to this movie is that they shoulda have gotten slightly older actors for the parts played by Katie Holmes (Who's going to buy a girl in her mid-20s as the assistant DA in a city that supposed to be the size of New York? Come on!) and the guy that played Scarecrow (Again, who's going to believe that a guy in his mid-20s is going to be the head doctor at an insane asylum in a city as big as Gotham? It's just not believable at all.) Also, Katie Holmes isn' a very good actress... "I'm a Gotham City district attorney. Let me pass." :rolleyes: Ugh! That line couldn't have sounded more scrpited if she was reading it off a cue card!
Other than those few miscastings though, I thought it was an excellent film.
