Just saw it.

Pretty damn good, I have to say. The story actually managed to make sense and be pretty original (well, as original as a man-trained-by-ninjas-saves-world story can be), and the visuals were brilliant. Well worth the price of admission.

I plan on seeing it again. More than one plot hole (people are mostly water, yet they didn't explode when heavy pipe did?), but the batmobile rocks enough to make up for it.

Shhhh. It's Hollywood. The laws of physics and biochemistry don't apply.

How many times is Liam Nesson going to play the sage-like, older mentor character?


He does a good job. It fits him. But he seems to play the same archetype in ever movie I see him in (Batman, Phantom Menace, Kingdom of Heaven.. etc)


Isn't he a good enough actor to do something else?

That's the point. How many times is Jim Carrey going to play annoying retarded people who do the same jokes as the last character did? That's his personality.

Some actors can do multiple things. Some... can't. I thought he did a good job in Batman, much more memorable than that of EPI.

Jim Carrey was good in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That was different.

No he wasn't... though that might be because I was to distracted by how shitty the movie was to pay attention to whether his acting was any good...

Batman Begins makes up for the mistakes of the past with the Bat franchise. And Bale, as I had said from day one on various boards, was perfect for the role.

I'm seeing it tomorrow night, again. Heh. I have to see it a second time, simply because it's so damn good on the big screen.
