Batman Begins
I went and saw "Batman Begins" today. I ran into Broken Little Person Sitting on a Tree Limb there. He was also taking in the 1:00 PM unemployment matinee but unlike me he was getting paid to see the movie. I'm off the dole, but BLPSoaTL is still milking the system. More power to him.
I enjoyed the movie a lot and I can't find anything in it to complain about. I liked the way Batman's training was explained, and I didn't think spending half the movie on it was too much. Batman's high-tech gear is explained quickly and plausibly, and I liked how his limitations were shown. He's just a guy with cool toys, not superpowers. We're also given a glimpse of the kind of person Wayne could have become had he made different choices at critical junctures. To say more would give away too much.
The supporting cast was excellent. Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman were in fine form, and even Rutger Hauer turned in a good performance. But maybe that's because he had so few lines. Christian Bale was a good choice for Batman. He's a very physical actor - look at the extremes he went to for "American Psycho" and "The Machinist" - but not so well-known that his celebrity status would detract from the film.
I'm looking forward to the next movie in the Batman series. And I still stick by my prediction that some day Robbie Williams will play James Bond.
