Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 3.0
Decent cast... not the greatest Batman tale
I personally found this one a bit of a yawner. The "origin" story is painfully long for something everyone but a 5-year-old knows already, no matter how they remix it. They spend too much time on a sullen, easily influenced Batman who seems to care what other people say an awful lot for the Dark Knight. I wish they actually left time for the villain characters instead of having them there for 5-second action sequences once in awhile. I like Tim Burton's vision of Gotham far more as well. The only good thing is with the pointless reworking of Batman's history out of the way, the next movie should be able to focus on more interesting stuff.
