Batman Begins review

I just got back from watching Batman Begins. So what’s my opinion on it? Well, it’s okay. Quite disappointing because the story has so much potential but some parts of the movie just didn’t work well. Some elements were quite confusing. The director could have banked on how Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox worked on each of Batman’s weapons and gadgets. An example is the sonar device for the bats? I was thinking ‘where the hell did that come from?’ when the bats suddenly appeared. I also think Ducard lacked motivation for destroying cities. The thing I found appealing about the film is the appearance of Dr. Crane simply because he looks like a dreamboat. He’s so pretty but I got unnerved with his eyes. Can eyes be THAT pale blue? He was ugly in 28 Days Later so what happened? Did he get plastic surgery or something? But I digress. Batman Begins is a film with a lot of potential which the director wasted. I don’t know what he intends to do with the sequals but he better get his act straight cos the film bombed in the Philippines and I believe bombed in other countries as well.

Cillian Murphy
androgynous dreamboat Cillian Murphy as Dr. Crane
