Mostly ups, some downs

I just saw batman begins in the theater yesterday, and i thought that is was amazing. Personally, i am a big batman fan, but i must say, the last few movie stunk. The two Tim Burton flicks were quite enjoyable and entertaining, but this is the first film to actually catch the essence of batman. Meaning that it explains why batman tries to scare the junk out of criminals.
Basically, he becomes a bat because he is afraid of bats.Plus, this one really has decent villains and a nice complicated problem. I mean, causing all of the scare gas-water to become gas and poison all of Gotham was pretty sweat, and how Ras Al Ghul specifically destroys cities that are too corrupt for their own good actually has a point.
One thing that kind of threw me off was how Ken Watanabe wasn't really Ras Al Ghul, but i was kind of relieved, because i thought that Liam Neeson would be a much better Ras. I thought the casting was absolutely perfect, story was magnificent, the villains were crazy in an evilly cool way (the scarecrow was pretty creepy)and that this was the best batman movie ever caught on film (^<_^)
