A pleasant surprise
My husband and I recently watched Batman Begins (purchased the dvd based upon these Amazon reviews) and we were pleasantly surpised by this movie. I am not a Batman fan, of either the comic strip, TV show or previous movie versions, but I thoroughly enjoyed this adaption. All of the actors did an excellent job, especially Gary Oldham - is there no charcter he cannot portray? I was expecting not to like Katie Holmes, but again, was pleasantly surpised by her performance. She was too young to play the part of an assistant DA, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. And her character does an excellent job of reminding "Batman" of his roots and of his parents and what they represented. The movie did not drag and I look forward to more adaptions featuring this winning combination of director, actors, writing, etc.
