Could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2005)

The movie was kinda interesting. How Bruce Wayne became Batman and how the costume, car, and cave come together. Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman were all great. The darker feel to Batman seems to work much better than the previous comedic ones.
What I didn't like was the rest of the movie. I think Christian Bale talks kinda funny. Somehow he doesn't look like Bruce Wayne to me. But then again I actually like Michael Keaton as Batman. Snd they can't pick a better actress than Katie Holmes to play Rachel? And what's the deal with "The Tumbler?" Why the hell does he have to slide into the car to shoot missiles? You are telling me Lucius Fox created all these cool stuff but he couldn't figure out how to shoot missiles sitting up right in the car? Scarecrow was just silly. They should just make him a regular character and not have to put on that stupid hood. Oh and I also didn't like how they kinda change some of the background info that the first Batman laid down. Like how the Joker was the one that killed Bruce Wayne's parents.
That's all I have to say about this Batman. Overall I think the first Batman with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson was the best.
