Batman Begins -2005 Christopher Nolan

[sprytel]

I suspect I am in the minority, but to me, the "super-villain" 3rd act was the weakest part. I would have loved to see more of Batman taking on the mob and the criminal underworld.

>I really like how Nolan translated the League of Assassins film and the playing of tricks with Ra's Al Ghul's actual identity.

I think that's one of the things I didn't care for.... not 'cos it was poorly done, but because tying in so much right away kinda ensmallens the setting. There's a tendency to do that with established franchaises, to connect as many of the old, established elements as possible. It makes it seem like interesting stuff only ever happens to the same handful of folks.

I thought it was really boring

Michael Keatons first movie was a lot less "stiff"

In the words of the great inigo montoya: I do not think you know what this word means.


Perhaps a searching for other adjectives to describe why you don't like a movie would make your reviews more helpful.

For instance Empire Strikes Back could be described by some as Hokey, Cheesy, Predictable, too trendy, unoriginal, etc but Boring is probably not the word you are looking for.

Umm, Brue, that was a bit much.

I'm glad no one keeps track of how often I use nifty and wicked.

[Mikey]

I think it's great !!!!!!!!

[Mikey]

Ok, I thought Batman Begins was shallow and pedantic

I cant really discribe what I dont like about the Nolan Batman films. Maybe its because it a little to realistic in its setting and tech? I havent really been pleased with the casting either. Nothing against Bale, hes a fine actor, I just think he doesnt have the choppes for a big role like Bruce/Batman. He just doesnt make me 'believe' hes Batman. (especally his raspy voice) As it turns out, so far, the one actor who I would have never imagined as the caped crusader is still the best, imo, and thats Keaton. Clooney wasnt really bad. He just didnt have much to work with... Like i said though, I dont hate the new ones by any means, just think it could still be much better.

[Brue]

Mikey - thanks for taking it well

I was smiling the whole time i wrote it and later hoped it was taken with good fun and not dickish.

I thought Batman Begins was shallow and pedantic < good stuff

[Hector]

That was a pretty boring response, Brue...

[Brazoo]

About 90% of Mikey's reviews in that list are spot-on for me.

Go Mikey!
