Rating: 1.0
I really hated this.
I was about to see this in theatres because everyone was saying it was so good but I didn't have time. Since most others have gone into some plot and story detail i won't waste time here with that.So here's my take on this movie.Batman's costume wasn't that good. It looked heavy and the pointy bat ears were really short- which they aren't supposed to be. Since when does batman have a raspy voice? I hated batman talking like he had a sorethroat. I mean he's a multi-billionaire and it only costs like 2-3 bucks for a bag of cough drops. The batmobile was like a tank. The batmobile is supposed to be a car, not a tank. It's batMOBILE, not batTANK.Christian Bale as batman was good but not good enough. Batman is supposed to be like 6"2. Christian Bale is quite short actually, Katie Holmes was taller than him as well as the butler. I mean come on the butler is taller than batman!? The directors did a poor job finding an actor for this.The beginning is very slow however it is expected as the title says 'Batman Begins'.I'm no hardcore batman fan, meaning I don't often read the comics or frequent batman message boards, but I do know batman is supposed one of the most respected and intelligent heroes. Alot of people are forgetting what batman really is, and they are only thinking about the action infront of their eyes in the film. Batman is intelligent, he figures out mysteries he makes good descisions. I didn't really see any of that in Batman's character in Batman Begins.The plot in Batman was really weak. I mean we have already seen the train scene in Spiderman 2 why do they finish with something like that? I did not feel the climax of the movie at all as a I watched it. All batman does is battle his mentor on a train while it's about to go off the tracks. We've seen batman throw punches and kicks earlier in the movie! Why do they give us the same thing and people are happy with it? I'm tired of Hollywood giving us the same crappy predictable movies and everyone is happy with it. The story was alright but it was so dumbed down to typical Hollywood Blockbuster level with the unrequited love between Holmes/Bale with the worse being the end with yet another train hurtling towards the destruction of something ala Speed and more recent Spiderman 2. This was a remix of a movie abet better then previous attempts but that is not saying much. Alot of people liked this movie, I didn't. It was horrible for me I hope people agree with me.
