BATMAN BEGINS
I watched this earlier in the day with Vikram and Dhino....
I'm not sure , but i feel a tinge of disappointment with the new Batman flick. Now, don't get me wrong,...it's just a mild one, perhaps a result of it falling a bit below my expectations. Even if it's unfair to compare, this is possibly in my opinion Christopher Nolan's worst movie yet. But that ofcourse doesn't make it a bad film by any means...it's still way better than most of the junk that masquerades as motion pictures in cineplexes.
The main gripe i have with the movie is with the action scenes that are almost as bad as the ones on Daredevil, which is an atrocious movie in all aspects of film making..if you could even describe it as film making. The action scenes suffers from being overy edited and choppy, and its pretty hard to follow anything that's happening on screen. i suppose that has alot to with Nolan's inexperience when it comes to delaing with the action genre. The other problem i have is that the movie lacks a supervillain with enough weight and presence to make any sort of impact that is expected in a superhero flick. As much as i love Cillian Murphy from 28 Days Later who plays Scarecrow,..his character pales considerably in comparison to Tim Burton's freaks(Joker, Penquin, Catwoman..) It doesn't help that he does't get much screen time or even much of a background story.
Well, all in all Batman Begins is still a pretty good movie, and one of the best of the year. I have no problem with claims of Christian bale being hailed the best batman ever(though i preferred him in American Psycho). I still have a soft spot for Michael Keaton who i personally feel had an air of mystery about him. But i reckon Bale's Batman sacrifices style(that was taken to ridiculous extremes by Schumacher) for pure hard edged menace. And his batman does a whole lot more justice to how its truly represented in the comic books and graphic novels. Donning the batsuit, he really looks like Frank miller's creation fleshed out onscreen.Anyways, on a final note this is not the best movie of the eyar based on a graphic novel.... Sin City still maintains its position in that rank fas far as i'm concerned...and as far as comparisons with Burton's Batman movies go,...i still prefer Burton's vision for its bold eccentricity and wonderful visuals.
And a bit of Batman Philosophy, though i think its bollocks..haw haw
It's not what's underneath,.. it's what a man does that truly defines him.
