jumpy, discontinuous, confusing

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2005)

First of all the first thing you're going to notice is that it doesn't make sense in the context of the original Batman film of 1989, although I don't think many people will care.
The action sequences are so cut up and jumpy that unless you're either on speed of LSD, it will only seem like a jumble. The explanation for how Batman came to be is trite, but not so horrible as the laughable pseudo-spirituality/psychology into the mind of Batman.
Katie Holmes is a lousy actress, or at least appears to be one in this film and Christian Bale even though he's not an incredible actor, leaves her in the dust multiple times. Cillian Murphy doesn't make a good villain either. He's about as menacing as a waiter.
And BTW - if you're a stickler for science like me, microwave energy wouldn't just cause water to vaporize, it would do the same to a human body since it's mostly water too. Equilibrium was better.
