A crowd pleaser blockbuster, despite it is a totally different Batman movie

Rating: 5/10 (15 February 2010)

Yes, Batman Begins is a fundamental change in the series, so it is not like any other Batman movie, realism instead of fantasy, but as a movie, it is a conventional crowd pleaser movie, a typical blockbuster, and also there are some problems and clichés. The opening sequence of the movie is surprising, because a Batman movie does not 'begin' like that normally. We feel like we watch a drama about a man who is put in a prison. This is good, fresh, so far so good. Then, the training parts start. These parts are far from being subtle or solid. The fight on the ice was dazzling by the way. Between, we see some flashbacks, the childhood of Bruce Wayne, honestly, it was slightly disturbing to me, probably because it was a cliché trick. After that mediocre part, the first attack of the Batman was well executed, but it was not exactly entertaining because of the shaky camera and its own clichés (after the change, the hero of the movie launches an operation to the bad guys) Just a note: When I watched the movie for the first time, I had not liked the new Batmobile, it had looked me unappealing, but later changed my mind. As for the costume, the best Batman costume is in this movie! The city Nolan creates is effective, but as I know, after getting the crew watch Blade Runner, he said I want a city like that. Yes, it can be obviously seen that Nolan inspired from Blade Runner while designing the city, but sometimes, it feels like it is an imitation. My favorite sequence is the first Scarecrow and Batman encounter. And it is scary, yes I am serious. Scarecrow is a well created villain, not a missed opportunity, but the screen time of him is problematic. I watched the car chase tons of times, still I do sometimes, it is very entertaining and a great demo scene, but on the other side, a bit mediocre. And the cops who always crack jokes while in danger exist here either like The Dark Knight! As for the climactic ending, it was very ordinary, nothing special and it was showy. Therefore, this is an unusual Batman movie may be, but the movie itself is not.
