weigh the pros and cons

Rating: 5/10 (23 June 2005)

pros: great story line, great action sequences, special/visual effects look very real, more realistic character traits (bruce and alfred actually have confrontations from time to time)
cons: script (some cheesy dialogue bogs down great action sequences), slow in the beginning (not too big of a con though, it keeps you interested),Christian Bale is even worse at playing batman than clooney or kilmer (since when did the bat growl instead of talk, since when did he have an under-bite, or a slight lisp, by the way?)
by the end of the almost two and a half hour movie, i was bored. any male whose ever had a childhood may be disappointed...i don't know, my girlfriend loved it. but two hours into it i was thinking "for the love of god, i don't care if batman gets killed, just end the friggin movie."
