Strong start

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2005)

Strong start of the film, but ends like all the other comic movies. I like the beginning of the movie. Who Bruce Wayne is. Why Bruce is scared of Bats! How Bruce becomes Batman. The theme of when you go out to chase monsters, do not become one yourself is powerful. However, I hate using this metaphor, the ending is the same done it, did it before big climax. The formula has a change to it, but I believe the makers were looking for a different ending but could not just achieve such a ending. The epilogue at the ending leaves room for another film. I like the epilogue discussion of evolution and action and reaction. A thinking man's batman. I would wait for the movie on pay for view. 7 out of 10. I did not like Katie Holmes, even with her small row for Batman. I can not reason why.
