"Batman Begins" continues the progressive worsening of the Batman films since Tim Burton's excellent "Batman", which has the privilege of being the first movie I ever saw in a cinema, and remains one of my favorite movies to this day.
I'm reading other people's reviews of Batman Begins and they are saying things like "Bale is perfectly dark, yet vulnerable" etc.. Bull. This movie just isn't made how a Batman movie should me made. It looks and feels more like "XXX:the next level", which it shouldn't. I don't think I saw one 30's style hat or trench coat. It just didn't have that "X" factor that makes you believe you're in a comic book world. It tries to make the concept of Batman seem possible, in today's world, which in this world of the internet and cellphones just doesn't seem possible.
Why is Batman Begins a big disappointment? Heres why: the music is generic and emotionally devoid. The plot is WAY over the top. OK, Christian Bale does make a good Batman/Wayne, but his talent is totally wasted. Cillian Murphy as the "Scarecrow" is not very scary. And the script...Don't get me started on the script. The first 2 Batman movies had so many classic lines. This movie has none. When you add these factors together you get what is just a forgettable movie experience.
And another thing: didn't the Joker kill Bruce Wayne's parents? Katie Holmes is the only good thing in this movie.
