Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 3.0
Average
"Batman Returns" may satisfy aficionados, but it it won't create converts. As a comic book adaptation, it is average. Those who are not particularly enthusiastic about the genre will most likely just watch as the movie goes by, unwilling to be fully drawn in to the fantasy universe of Gotham City in "Batman Begins".The special effects are decent and the City looks real. The acting, however, particularly on the part of Christian Bale, is near non-existent. As for the training sequences, the story is bland, stale and sometimes unexplained. The fight choreography fails to impress, as the editing is too heavy-handed.Unlike the rest of the Batman series the script of "Begins" tells the story of Batman as a boy. The story of Boy Bruce Wayne is in line with the movie as a whole, as it is interesting in some some regards and unconvincing in many others.
