It's AWESOME!!!

Just got back from seeing Batman Begins. I have just three words:

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

This movie is INCREDIBLE!!!

To you, the three people reading this blog, I say this: Go. See. This. Movie.

Even if you're not a big fan of Batman, you will still enjoy yourself.

More details? O.K.

The acting is excellent--There may be a golden statue or two in store for some of these people come April of next year. And if there isn't, then that just goes to show how out of touch with reality the Academy is. Want an example? O.K. I won't give away too much, but at one point in the movie, when a bad guy realizes he is doomed, he doesn't run, he doesn't scream, he simply closes his eyes.

You'll know what scene I'm talking about when you see it. It's not something you can easily describe in words. You have to see it.

The cinematography is spectacular. The movie is, of course, very dark. But that doesn't matter. You don't miss a single detail, like you do in some other dark movies. It's truly a masterpiece of camera work.

But, most importantly, the story is believable. You can believe this story could actually happen in this modern world. This may be the one thing that sets Batman apart from the other superheroes--you realize that Bruce Wayne is, under that costume, just an ordinary man. He has no superpowers. He gets hurt like everyone else. And his enemies are also human, motivated by the same factors that motivate all bad people--greed, power, and lust.

Hell, this movie will even make the comic book fans happy--and they can do bad things to a movie they don't like. Just look what happened to Catwoman!

And, no, I still can't hate that movie. I just can't hate any movie with Halle Berry in it (That's why I've never seen B.A.P.S.--I don't want to break that trend!)
