BATMAN BEGINS....AND BEGINS...AND BEGINS....AND BEGINS...AND BEGINS...AND BEGINS...AND BEGINS
To me, Michael Keaton will always be Batman, even though he is reluctant to accept it. Just as Christopher Reeve will always be Superman. I felt this movie was wrong on so many levels.1. The fight scene-For a guy who's suppose to know like 50 kinds of Martial Arts, Batman/Christian Bale certainly didn't display it.2. Lucius Fox-I'm confused here. While Lucius Fox is a quintissential character and some sort of master inventor, how could he be so stupid as not to know Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person? Also, it seems he was more like Q in the James Bond movies, where as he's basically a Financial Wizard at Wayne Enterprises. Plus, doesn't Batman build his own stuff anyway? Not showing much intelligence for the world's greatest detective.3. The Vaporizer-The big one on everybody's list. If a machine could vaporize water, wouldn't people be dying right and left anyway?4. Scarecrow's costume-What a waste. Scarecrow is one of my favorite villians. Why'd they have to ruin him by making him a second hand villian like "Firefly" or "Killer Croc" or "The Mad Hatter"? His costume reminded me of the old CESAR ROMERO JOKER, same concept. Throw on some makeup over a moustache, and boom, instant cheesy supervillian. Only in Scarecrow's case, it's a mask and straightjacket.5. Repetitious line-"It's not the Fear I fear, it's the fear of not being feared". How can you have so many different conversations about the same thing? Every 10 minutes, someone was talking about FEAR. "Fear this" and "Fear that." O.K. I get it, Criminals are a Cowardly, Superstitious Lot and in order to fight crime, I need a scary costume.6. The Batmobile-Enough said.There's my review. Yes, out of the 1% of raving, lunatic fans I hated this movie. For those of you, blinded by all the hype and thought this movie was the greatest thing since, I don't know, "The Janet Jackson incident." I await your criticisms.Gary
