god awful-i wish i would have shot myself instead of seeing this movie

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2005)

First let me start off by saying the batman series started and ended with Tim Burton and Michael Keaton. All attempts at the capered crusader have been comical at best. Moving on to the 2hr+ piece of crap known as batman begins, i don't even know where to start ripping this flick -i will list only a few reasons why this movie should never have been made or thrown in the trash instead of releasing upon the public.
1. Christian Bale's voice as Batman(tries to deepen his voice) it gets not only annoying but it sounds incredibly forced and dreadful.
2. The scarecrow villain is in the movie for literally 1 minute of film time, completely a waste of time because underdeveloped is an understatement.
3. The joker is supposed to kill Bruce Wayne's parents when Bruce is younger, not some random poor lowly criminal. Then what should happen is seeking revenge, Bruce turns the murderer of his parents into the Joker. -completely dropped the ball on this one
4. Being Batman Begins, Batman can not have a better more updated car than Batman, made in 1989. If its a prequel, make sure everything coincides with the other films - not that hard.
5. At the end of the movie - A) Batman gives the bat symbol to gordon - he is not commissioner yet and does not fit with other films b) Jim Gordon shows Batman a joker card, indicating a criminal is out and about on the streets of Gotham- If Bruce Wayne is supposed to in essence create the Joker, how is he around? Doesn't add up at all, leaves more frustration and questions.
more things i would have mentioned about this horrendous film - Jim Gordon's character, Bruce Wayne's personality, the batcave, Katie Holmes' character, and a few other small things.
All and all just a pile of garbage. The best superhero series as of our time right now is far and away Spiderman. The story is engrossing and extremely well written, and has tremendous casting, unlike Batman Begins.
