ADD/ADHD Crowd
Yes,this is who this 'movie' is geared for,those that have been diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. It also helps if you 1.) are in the 13-25 yr. old demographic,and 2.) have no sense of movie history.Folks,if you haven't seen this 'Bat movie',and are planning to,then before you do,watch the following movies:Batman '89Batman ReturnsBatman Foreverthe Shadow (with Alec Baldwin)Spider-Manany James Bond movieNolan,and Goyer totally steal/rip-off concepts from all of the above mentioned movies,and they do not even try to be subtle about it.Batman '89: black rubber suit,villian is responsible for the death of Bruce's parents hence motivation for being Batman is resolved,and over the top Batmobile.Batman Begins: rip off of Batman '89.Batman Returns: black rubber suit,'glider-cape',and stun gun is used to defeat one of the villians.Batman Begins: rip off of Batman Returns.Batman Forever: Two different rubber suits,and Bruce makes peace/accepts being Batman as a choice,no longer 'captive' to the 'ghosts' of his parents' death.Batman Begins: rip off of Batman Forever (pay attention to Kilmer's second suit,compare that to Bale's suit...hmmmmmm...Also,does Bale wear some type of second suit [perhaps slight modification]? Pay attention to last scene of Begins.the Shadow: Begins rips off the beginning of the Shadow for the idea of Bruce's training.Spider-Man: Begins rips off Spider-Man's resolution for its' love story.James Bond: Begins rips off the Bond/Q relationship in order for Bruce to come upon his 'Bat stash'.Folks,you have read/heard about how awful the action scenes are edited,yes? It gets worse! The non-action scenes are truly edited for the ADD/ADHD crowd. (I suspect that Nolan was a huge fan of MTV while growing up.)Bale,you had a chance to be a great Bat,but thanks to the awful script,and editing you never had a chance. You are,sadly,in the same boat that Clooney found himself in.In time,this movie will be revisited,and acknowledged for the pointless waste that it is.Alan Horn,you greenlighted this piece of dreck. You should be ashamed.Folks,one more thing. What do all the previous Bat movies have in common? Big 'over the top' endings. What does Begins have? A big 'over the top' ending,and that is the last thing you should have for when Batman is just beginning!
