Firstly. I've just gotten back from watching 'Batman Begins'. Probably the best movie I've seen in a while. (Haven't seen Sin City, just so that people don't jump me). Christian Bale is just too perfect for the part - then again, I might be biased, cause I adore him, ever since 'Equilibrium'. Just my kind of movie, both of these.

Of course, it's Hollywood, so cheesy dialogue did happen, but I was pleasantly surprised at how the "romantic" plot unfolded. *thumbs up* Pity the girl won't be in the next movie, I liked her. She had spite.

Morgan Freeman rocked, but that is his default option, so no surprise there. Liam Neeson will forever be the Qui-Gon figure, no matter how evil he gets in the end. *grins* No, really good work here. He has that air of self assured tough guy, bent on saving the world. Good to see a villain who has someone else's interest in mind, taking over the world is horribly cliche.

The special effects or lack thereof - frankly, I am so impressed. Such a visual movie and such minimal CG. Deeply impressed with action scenes. Show exacty what needs to be shown, nothing more, nothing less. Was also deeply impressed with the fact that Batman spoke in a deep, breathy, sorry-bronchitis-calling way. Seems like someone finally remembered that yes, people can be recognised by their voice.

All in all - a very satisfying way to spend two and a half hours.

Oh yeah. I feel obliged to inform that I seem to have developed a serious Saiyuki fetish. And I mean serious. If someone gets a heart attack, cause there's not enough Duo around, you have yami_tai and regina_sama (major huggage) to blame. *grins*

I liked it too- except I didn't like the girl. She could've been much more spitfirey and she wasn't... and he didn't really seem disappointed when she said no to him at the end. *grin*

They did mess with Liam's character, Raz Ah Ghul would've let Bruce have 10 years or so to try and clean up the city- just to prove to him that it was a waste of time. Really! That one made me blink when he said no. But, other than that I thought they did a really excellent job, and I liked Oldman's character too. There really wasn't a lot of CG which was good, because really Batman has no special powers -- I thought they did a great job of showing that the guy is just a good smart fighter with cool toys! Dr. Crane was freaking perfect as the Scarecrow!

I loved Batman Begins, but I laughed every time he spoke in his 'Batman' voice.

I loved Batman Begins and I totally agree with you about Christian Bale ^_~! However, I really didn't like Rachel, I found her very judgmental of him without any facts, which I find extremely irritating ^^;!
