Bale was boring!!
yes, its true, bale was boring in this. heck, the whole story was boring. i felt like hollywood was trying so hard to up beat this franchise while i was watching this, i just couldnt by into it. this is not about batman. its about bruce wayne. and theres hardly any batman in it. cmon. hollywood, dont you know that you can make a serious batman AND have batman in it too? guess not. heh, maybe the sequel will be cool. i mean, its gonna have joker (i hope). the villians were boring in this one too. and whats with these nolan-ites (i like to call them that) putting down keaton for? he was a great batman, and IMO is the still the best. i really had high hopes for bale but he just didnt click with me. his bruce wayne was good, but his batman really went into the deep end. keaton hardly spoke, and when he did, it was staright foward and sound badass. bale just wouldnt stop talking, and the way he made his lips move like when in the scene when he was talking about the "panicinducingtoxin", can you say "marble mouth"? the cowl was on his face too damn tight, and it annoyed me. he could hardly turn his head, even after all the hype he barely could move at all. and whats with this "microwave emitter" crap? what was it? what did it do? it took me 3 viewings to figure that out. its simply just canon. also, i just wasnt diggin the batmobile in this film, again, ANOTHER huge change i didnt like. it was TOO BIG, not sleek and cool like the 1989 batmobile that keaton drove. NOTHING beats the keaton car, for me at least. there just wasnt anything i really liked about this film except some of the performances, like michael caine and gary oldman (though he wasnt much different from past roles). the "origin" was fine, but i guess i just wanted a bat- movie that wasnt overly campy with good story and batman action, this was just TOO much bruce wayne and WAY too much katie fricken holmes. she was just horrible. pissed me off most of the time. just like these keaton haters are. dont listen to them. there just goin along with the crowd. keaton is the best batman and im pretty confident you feel the same way. keatons voice was deadly and cold, while bales was just blabby and "oh i had to much to eat, thats why im talking funny" voice. bale also over-did the "angry" thing, like some stupid annoying goth kid, annoyed me. and what was corny was the way they shot those "swooping" scenes where bale would "swoop" from the top of the cave to the bottom, oh brother! and whats with this lucious fox guy pretending to be Q from james bond? ugh. and why do i care where batman gets all his stuff, duh, he works at wayne enterprises! he can get anythging he wants!! it doesnt take a genious to figure THAT out. hollywood is just trying to spoonfeed the audience WAY to much in this movie, acting like we're stupid. ugh. bale simply couldnt top michael keaton as the dark knight in my eyes, and i just didnt get the same fun, awsome feeling that i got/get when i watch the burtons films. and bales "im batman" simply couldnt match with keatons quiet, controlled "im batman" from 89. bale was doing a bad ripoff of keatons line, we i agree with the below poster, he OWNS.in short, i give this a three for good performances by the actors, but not my favorite bat -film and not what i expected from a batman movie. at all. keaton is still my favorite and maybe in the sequel, bale will prove me otherwise.
