Film Review: Batman Begins (Christian Bale, Katie Holmes, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman)

2005-06-20

Yesterday evening, I headed to the Cineworld cinema in Braintree to watch Batman Begins. I haven't seen a Batman film in the cinema since Batman Returns back in 1992. The story follows how Batman came into existence. I'm not really a fan of these films, but the trailer for the film was excellent.

Yesterday evening, I headed to the Cineworld cinema in Braintree to watch Batman Begins. I haven't seen a Batman film in the cinema since Batman Returns back in 1992. The story follows how Batman came into existence. I'm not really a fan of these films, but the trailer for the film was excellent and made me go and watch it. The film is painfully slow to start, and even though it dragged on and on, the opening explanation still felt hurried. I'm not sure the story of the blue flower made any real sense at all; again, it felt too hurried, but still dragged on. The story follows how Bruce Wayne witnessed the murder of his parents, an event intertwined with his fear of bats. Lots of explosions, train derailments, deep 'Batman'-style voices, roof scenes, cool 'Batmobile'... but no Robin. The 'Bat-logo' and the 'Batmobile' look very cool. I can't understand why these would look so cool if Batman is to 'downgrade' to less for the later films, if this is the story of how 'Batman Begins'... food for thought. Worth watching. Watch the Batman Begins trailer. "Why do we fall over? So we can learn to pick ourselves up." 8 out of 10.
