5/5 for F/X, 0/5 for story

Rating: 5/10 (8 May 2007)

The special effects are incredible. You just wonder how far will the go in that matter. It's so good it seems real !!! But let's face it, the story is simply not good. The story would be good for a bad "comic book", but for a movie you have to give much more than that to the viewers. Especially after a film like "Batman begins" with Christian Bale. "Batman begins" is the perfect example of a well balanced movie : a really good story well put together that holds you spellbound ; a good amount of special effects without overshadowing the story; an excellent group of actors (except for Katie Holmes). I thought that "Batman begins" was the new standard, that any director, worthy of the name, had to give us a movie as good as "Batman begins" or even better. But unfortunately it doesn't look like that. I only hope that Christopher Nolan, the director for "Batman begins", will give "director lessons" to all the others directors out there.
