Batman "begins"
I ABSOLUTELY loved this movie and wanted to give it 5 stars. However, it's Mr Nolan's first summer blockbuster and unfortunately this movie is not without its faults.1st, as many others would agree, the fight sequences are a bit too shaky and closed up, I wished Mr Nolan would pull the camera back a little to reveal more what was going on. Batman is a martial artist after all, especially this batman with such brutal and lethal and wraith like fighting styles. I understand what he intended but it didn't work out that nicely2nd, as I have stated in many comic book movies, I wanted to see the superhero instead of his alter ego. This movie is about 50/50, and I can stand with that, not to mention it's an origin tale. So I hope they would show more batman with batman problems.Ok, it almost sounded like I hate this movie, but as I stated in my first sentence, this movie is a must see both comic book fan and non comic book fan. Put it simple, this movie upgrades a summer blockbuster to a mixture of summer action thriller and dramma with a psycological level in such a way that it almost include all the movie genre one can possibly think of. If you are looking for horror, it's there, if you are looking for action, it's there, if you are looking for science fiction, it's there, and many others. and you might think such a mix would ruin the movie but not here. make no mistake, the mixture is simply perfect.The soundtrack is of some arguments and I am positive with it. It may not have a clear main theme and may not have danny's mystic heroic gritty feel, but it stands out in the movie. I wouldn't recommand the soundtrack on it's own, but you will definitely be absorbed into the movie as the soundtrack gives you the exact feel of the scene.The cast is simply amazing to look at. some may dislike katie but i wouldn't think it's her fault, she is a fine actress who just couldn't stank out with such a huge cast. imagine yourself as an slightly above average actor and put into this situation...Christian rocks as his three-part role as the main character: Private and Public Bruce and intimidating batman. Caine is more like a father figure than a butler and fits perfectly in the context. Cillian Murphy is solid as scarecrow and very scary sometimes. Liam Neeson is as wonderful as always doing mentor character and, to me, very tragic and both likable and hateful as another secret character. Gary Oldman is extremely likable in this movie and you will simply want him more. Morgan Freeman is as charm as he always is and did an awesome job. all other supporting cast did a wonderful job espeically bruce's father, and i only remember the name thomas wayne as his name because he is the one that made me feel truely emotional just the way young bruce did.The gadgets of batman in this movie realy stand on their own and you may dislike them but after watching the movie your idea will change 180 degrees just like me, especially the tumbler and the suit.it's my first long review and hope it's helpful. thank you for your time reading this, and hope you enjoy the film. i did.
