Lacking some elements

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2005)

Batman Begins is overall a good movie but in my opinion it lacks some aspects. First of all the acting and the hallucination effects were good but I didn't like the depiction of Gotham City in the movie. Gotham city was a bit too realistic, I always pictured it as a fantastic, Gothic City not something similar to New York. Also there seemed to be some plot holes as at the end of the movie we don't know what happened to the people who contracted the virus. We don't see whether they managed to effectively mass produce the antidote and the faith of the people of Gotham. The bit in the end about Joker was also a good transition into the original Tim Burton movie. The movie should have had more fantastical elements but director Nolan seems to have taken a more realistic approach to the theme of superhero. Overall in my opinion it could have been better: 6/10
