OK, still trying to get caught up, I forgot to post about Batman Begins.

Batman Begins was amazingly good. I was really happy with it. I was a bit unsure at first with the whole League of Shadows thing, but it worked well. The movie moved very quickly and I hardly noticed it was an almost 2.5 hour movie. Everyone was very good in the movie including Katie Holmes, who some people have said was bad in the movie. Christian Bale was almost perfect as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Michael Caine did a great job as Alfred. He really pulled off a few good one liners. I however throughly enjoyed Gary Oldman as James Gordon. He really nailed what I felt Gordon should have been like and I liked the glimpse of him at home with what must have been Barbara as a toddler.

It’s been said to death but it was neat how they tried to explain all of his gadgets and why they came to exist. I also liked the look of Gotham and Arkham. The Scarecrow was really creepy and the effects were sweet. It left me satisfied the way the first Tim Burton Batman movie did. I am not comparing them, just saying that it was a good Batman flick, and they are hard to come by these days.

Definitely spend the cash to see this one in the theater.
