having watched a kung fu film recently beforeDTS wrote: Batman Begins
2nd time I've seen this, but on a better screen with decent sound this time. Stll, it wasn't as impressive as when I first saw it. The fighting seemed even less impressive having watched a kung fu film recently before. The story's good, the gadgets and Batmobile are unimpressive, but the story behind them is good. It's nice to have some real-world context for the gadget rather than it just being "he has this stuff cause he's Batman".
What impressed the most in this viewing was the acting. Good performances for all the main characters
Also, it's nice to have some humour in the film, though the 2nd time around it's not all that funny.
There are a couple of inconsistances in the plot that spoil the believability of it a bit. I.e.:
1) He saves some guy's life only to blow up the building he's in. Unless we're supposed to notice him escape, but I didn't, so if that was the intention that bit was badly directed/edited.
2) He saves some guy's life, who is knocked out. He leaves him with someone who says "I'll tell him you saved his life". Later in the film the guy says "You left me for dead".
WTF?
Anyway, yeah, it's still a good film, the story is well told and all. I'm looking forward to seeing the next one, even though I don't like what I've seen of the Joker in it. Yeah I know people have said the actor did a great job for him, but people said simmilar things about Jack Nicholson's Joker, believe it or not. Anyway I'm sure it won't spoil the film, Jack Nicholson's Joker didn't spoil the Batman film he was in.
It was nice to see CGI used so effectively to realise Gotham City aswell
