A true review for this badly made batman flick

Rating: 1/10 (29 March 2006)

This movie is TOTALLY over-rated. It was REALLY boring and totally panned away from Gotham city for most of the film. Japan? Legend of shadows? WAY to weird for Batman. Plus when his parents got killed it didn't really feel heart pounding. The joker batman did it good but this one didn't. Plus they changed the story of batman. In the original batman movie it was the Joker that killed his parents and he got him at the end but Begins totally changed that and messed it up bad. Begins was unnecessary as the previous batman films explains everything you need to know about his past.
I'm always going to accept that it was a classic villain (Joker) that killed his parents than a mugger that probably worked for the scarecrow. The scarecrow was crap in the film, making very little appearance and didn't feel like a villain like the other batman films. Begins doesn't feel like a superhero film but instead feels like a badly made revenge film. Christian Bale did a bad performance and sounded depressed in his lines. He was too much like The Punisher and wasn't that likable in the movie (Keaton and Clooney were likable and had some humour. Bale was just boring.) In the other batman films I could imagine Batman helping out a kid in danger but I can only imagine Bale spitting at a kid. I know he's MEANT to be mean as thats why he becomes batman but he should still be likable and Bale didn't deliver it right.
Good things - 1. Some action that was cool (Nothing really special and remerable though)
2. Some cool effects
3. Some good acting
Bad things -
1. WAYYY to boring and overlong (We kept checking how long the film had been on for and wishing that the punishment would be over soon)
2. Bad and non-enjoyable performance from Christian Bale
3. Went too far with the story and complicated it too much. It was more like Tenchu and the Last Samari than a batman flick. If you watched the film from these parts you would NEVER guess that it was Batman. They should have kept in Gotham and the streets as that would have been more entertaining and realistic.
4. Not enough action and nothing special about the action they do show.
I bought this for my mate and he wants me to return this to the store and I agree with him. It gets a 2 star in most mags I check and I pretty much agree with that. If you're a batman fan then I Don't recommend this film as they TOTALLY change the story of Batman that we learnt from the previous Burton films and made it worse. I liked the thought of how the Joker was the killer. Stick to the last two film for bright action batman flicks and Burton's ones for your dark ones. Just bin Batman Begins and forget this fake story and remember the real one.
