Product: Batman Begins (Two-Disc Deluxe Edition) (2005)
Rating: 3.0
Too drawn out...
As with most recent comic adaptations, some scenes are unecessary, painfully slow, and devoid of any kind of logic.The companies seem to think of them as 'Epics' in the Spartacus vein, which means they take themselves way to seriously to be enjoyed on a comic level. 2hrs 15mins is just TOO long!The characters played by liam, Michael, and Morgan are yawningly predicatble stock roles that any of them can do with their eyes closed. Scarecrow/Crane is played out with some looney tension to his due, and Bale is humane enough to pass it off.The most exciting bit was the Batmobile 'Tumbler' sequence. The action is turned up 30 notches in realistic 'French Conncetion' style ode, and really delivers a roar.I'm all for these movies in a disposable, popcorn way. But like I mentioned, they're too cliched and drawn out, and too serious!
