My Life as Open Source

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Batman Begins: ★★★★☆

Christopher Nolan nailed it! The script is a little heavy handed on the whole “use fear” thing for the first hour, but after that, it’s a good time. It does what the first one in 1989 should have done and what the 1st Superman(1979) did- telling us the origin of the hero, not the villain’s. One of the niciest touches of the movie was being introduced to a young Jim Gordon. While the movie was dealing with Batman’s origin, it subtly gave Jim Gordon’s as well. This was solid story telling that came full circle and tied up plot points nicely. In short, it was a very satisfying experience.

    I’m so glad you liked it. I think it was probably my favorite movie so far this summer.

    I was a good movie, but I didn’t like the fact that they changed the storyline - the Joker killed Wayne’s parents, not that thief!!! They can perfectly fit this story into the other movie, without compromising the whole plot, but they didn’t which seems strange.

    Apart from that flaw, this is a good movie! This is what a batman movie SHOULD look like - dark and half evil.:)

    我本身是一知半解的觀眾,但看到後半的部分也看得很過癮,不過我自己有點奇怪為何忍者大師要常常說一些故作高深的話語。

    另外,很喜歡那架永遠都撞不爛的蝙蝠車,十分有型,哈哈。

    不,在原著Batman 的父母也是被流氓殺死的。

    那架Batmobile 太像坦克車了,還是第一集的流線型靚。

    有一幕比較怪的是他吊起個差佬套料,突然間佢好惡咁問:「Do I look llike a cop?」平時只要壓沉把聲就得啦,做乜變左壞人腔?不知道下一集怎拍呢?壞人都出齊了。
