Batman Begins Rules (still)
And the award for most underrated movie of the year goes to ...
Batman Begins !
First of all, i certainly don't get why this movie didn't get the attention it deserved, it had a great cast with many famous people, the special effects were said to be magnificent and with Christian Bale as the toprole, you just CAN'T make a bad movie. (like the machinist rocked also)
But why o why, didn't this movie get enough attention ? I just can't seem to figure that out. I mean, for the first time, it has a good story, it really tells you how the legend of batman started to come. Tim Burton's movie was, altough i have many respect for this man and as example one of my favorite movies sleepy hollow witch he created, well, quite wack. The leather costumes were ridicueles, the cast was definitly not up to playing a good role (like george clooney for crying out loud) and the batmobile was just plain STUPID. I thought they made the batmobile out of carton or plastic, and they probably did.
The movie was incredibly surrealistic and the storyline was as thin as a wire, like as example how in godsname can a car ride on a wall.
After laughing out loud with Val Kilmer and George Clooney, both performing tremendously below their avarage acting jobs, i really liked Christian Bale. Christian Bale tried to bring up some sympathie when as example he almost died, the only thing George Clooney tried is to get gay guys have a boner.
For the people who didn't read the comics, like me at first (now i have about 80 batman comics , bought on a sale for just 20$), they would start to wonder, how did he get the batcave, how did he get the car ?
And the car in Batman Begins was finally a bit realistic, at last.
The suit of Batman also very realisticly explained.
And George Clooney just fighted very well, like every rich playboy.
Never wondered how he got into fighting ? Well, Christian Bale explains.
Altough the creators had to explain it by creating the fictional character Ra's Al Gul, i didn't mind. He was created well.
So finally, we had a Batman movie, with a great Hollywood cast who didn't behave like they were really from Hollywood. I liked this dark movie.
Well this is only my opinion, go out and tell yours.
