The first half of the movie was great...However...after Christian Bale dons the Batsuit...it all goes down hill from their..for some reason..the acting from that point on becomes very dry and unimpressive...in fact..the whole movie was kind of anticlimatic and predictable...it brought no new things to the bat franchise.Christian Bale did a great job as Bruce Wayne..but he overdid Batman..the only person who had both Wayne and Batman down right was Keaton. The Movie was cast very well..(other than Katy Holmes)...but it just lacked that spark...that thing that kept me going through the movie. If it weren't for the first hour of Batman Begins..the movie would have come of as very lame and campy..much like the preceeding two batfilms..
Back on topic...I still give Batman Begins the nod over Star Wars because the first two Jedi movies really sucked some serious ass..
u shouldn't really vote unless u've seen both films. And i also thought Katie Holmes was poor in BB,

Predictable? you got to be joking? and Keaton having both Wayne and Batman down? again you got to be joking? Keaton was a good Batman but he was a horrible Bruce wayne.Bruce Wayne isnt the bumbling clown that Keaton made him out to be in the first film saying things like-Yes I'm sure I am Bruce Wayne,now I am.Kilmers Bruce Wayne was MUCH more like the character of Bruce Wayne than Keatons was.Bale surpassed the performace of both of them though easily.

Yeah you really shouldn't be voting until you have seen BOTH films.To say you give Batman Begins the nod over Episode one just because of the two films before it is absurd,for one thing,you really might enjoy episode one a lot.I myself went in and saw episode one expecting to hate it because I have hated every star wars film that has been made since Empire Strikes Back.However,I actually enjoyed Episode 3 which was a huge surprise to me.That being said, I liked Begins much better but since I felt that way,you might actually enjoy Episode 3 even more so than I did and like it better than Begins.so wait till you see BOTH before voting.I really think the only reason Holmes is getting this unfair criticism I think she has been getting is because of the talent she is surrounded with.

I laugh when the people critizes Katie Holmes work in batman begins. Ok, maybe she isnt the best part in the movie, but she is like 100 better than natalie portman in revenge of the sith.
Easily better than Portman, I got more enjoyment watchin the emotions of McGregor's beard than watching her. But Holmes' performance is still nothing to write home about, though it is hard when so many others in the cast were terrific.
