Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 3.0
Good movie overall... not the best for Batman though
I'm extremely partial to Batman Returns and Batman: The Animated Series (As well as a bit of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker) and in my mind nothing gets better than that. It's those kinds of showings that really mark what Batman is to me. I just figured I'd put that out there before I got into Batman Begins.First off, the cast was well chosen but... the villains weren't really how I thought they should have been. I loved the supernatural feel through Batman: T.A.S. and this was... well... a bit too much like a real life sort of thing. The car was also a little disappointing and in a way... just made it one of the things that made me want to say "This isn't Batman, it's a character in a suit saying he's Batman". OK, onto things I liked. Gary Oldman. He did a good job of playing Gordon because he was someone you could tell wanted to do his job right. That's what Gordon is supposed to be about. One of the few good cops in a corrupt city. Next... the batcave. I really do prefer the new cave over the last ones. It's a lot more realistic and more... well... cave. There shouldn't be more technology than cave in my opinion, regardless of how much cash you have. Also to put it out there... *SPOILER, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET* I had a dream that I was Bruce Wayne and I burned my house down and rebuilt it. I had that dream before I knew anything about the movie. So... it's weird that it happened in the movie. Really weird.
