Bad Attempt at a Potentially Great Movie

Rating: 1/10 (27 December 2006)

The further down cinematographers attempt to recreate the legendary character the worse it gets. The look and premise of the movie comes from the deeper collection of comics that have been written about Batman such as the extremely underground success of the "Batman; The Dark Knight" series. These comics portray a true grit to the Batman legend, and Batman Begins attempted to bring the look and appeal of the comic to life using some of the same characters and plot.
Unfortunately these attempts fell short due to a weak dialogue and sub-par cast that were only obtained as an attempt for BlockBuster success. Furthermore, the general public probably wouldn't recognize the shortcomings of this movie due to the obvious similarities it shares with it's predecessors (with the exception of the original Batman). Overall, there's more action and better fight scenes in this movie; Enough to fool the generic movie go-er into thinking that there's some kind of novelty because it looks cooler. Overall, applaud Christain Bale for a "good enough" portrayal of Bruce Wayne, and forgive the rest of the cast for signing onto the project.
