Batman Begins in my own words
Batman Begins definitely creates a new story line and creative resurrection of the D.C. Comic character. This movie is definitely long due to the fact of the director laying down the foundation of how the character of Batman was originated. The movie starts out with quite a bit of action. The fight scenes are laid out very well and will keep the viewer's attention for definitely the first 30 minutes of the movie. However, the story does tend to drag out and you may find yourself getting bored or letting your mind wonder. Christian Bale is kind of silly for the part due to his lame dialogue and his monotone voice can be quite comical. However his fighting choreography and physical physique makes up for this partially. Although the movie does have sufficient action and suspense and looking over the stretched out plot the movie really lacks a main villain that is familiar to the Batman franchise that a die hard fan can recognize. The movie does feature Scarecrow who is a major villain of Batman if your familiar with the series, however he isn't a major keystone. Despite all of this I still think that if you enjoy Batman as a comic book character or from the previous movies or shows this movie is positively satisfying. It definitely corrects the saga from where the movie series was going from the last two Batman movies after Tim Burton stopped his directing of the series (which was right in the trash can). This movie is very realistic in creating the myth of Batman and doesn't branch out to extreme, but of course it does go a little bit on limb with its fanatic villain's plot, but what do you expect.......its Batman.
