Christian Bale - 21st Century Neanderthal
Like everyone of us, I grew up with Batman. It has been an enduring image. I remember wearing a towel for a cape, and much to the chagrin of mother, charging through the house and jumping off couches, imitating Batman, when I was younger.I am suprised to say the least, the proper choice of words would be appalled, shocked and angered to see the way Batman was depicted in this movie.Mark you, the story line is not too bad, and stellar performances by Michael Cain, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman are truly enjoyable. But the main character, Bruce Wayne a.k.a. Batman was played by arguably the worst actor in present day Cinema.Christian Bale has a speech impediment and an acting impediment. That guy couldn't act convincingly for 10 seconds to save his life. He looks like one of those moronic farm hands, the kind at whom you throw an insult, and they say "Oh yeah..." and pause for like forever, are lost for a comeback and then say something lame.You know the kind? Incredibly dumb, with a jaw jutting out like a neanderthal...?And Katie holmes is equally bad. Having a cherubic face is not an acceptable compromise for the skills required to act in a movie. Through out the movie, they concentrate on head shots of her. The viewer is supposed to just admire her mug... I think not, we came to watch a bloody movie. And then she has that crooked smile... it looked so silly after some time. She just didnt have the personality or presence required to pull off a crooked smile, let alone a role as that of a Batman romantic interest.Nicole kidman and now Katie Holmes... what has the world come to!!!The story line, as I said, wasnt too bad. But after a while, I was just sitting and watching Christian murder the movie with his absolutely terrible acting. I grimaced each time he just stood there, unable to emote or deliver his dialogues.CHRISTIAN BALE SUCKED!!I am deeply anguished and scarred by this movie. If it was possible, I would consider filing a law suit against the makers of this movie for scarring the image of a hero that we have all cherished for countless generations.I gave it 2 stars, because of Freeman, Neeson and Cain.This movie sucks, dont pay to watch it.KL
