It's
not what you are underneath that defines you, but what
you do!

Batman Begins is just so different, if you are
expecting it to be like
Burton's you will not only miss this film, but you will miss
out.
Batman Begins is a far more realistic idea,
and has a far more rich
back story that makes sense, from why Bruce trains, how he can
do what
he does, and even the suit and car make more sense.
Sure it doesn't have the gimmicks kids fall
in love with: Namely the
car, the popping music, but it has so much more: Depth, Realism,
and
Meaning.
These 3 things, along with brilliant acting,
perfect pacing, script and
directing create a movie one must watch a second time. And when
you do
you see the car for what it is, a relentlessness of spirit,
the music
for what it inspires...
Afterall, 'it's not what you are underneath
that defines you, but what
you do! Batman Begins, a tour De force. A movie full of depth,
introspection, and meaning. It even included little details
like tiny
strokes of a master's brush.
Yes, Batman Begins, and continues in 2008, and
I can't wait.
You see there just aren't enough movies these
days crafted with such
passion, such loyalty to not only an idea, or a story, but to
the
future of film. Those who declare that yes, character development
is
important. Understanding, meaning, and integrity shines light
on
beauty, and brings hope like light to a darkened place, and
this place
where movies are made has grown so dark.
That's why I rate this movie a 10.
Seriously folks. I loved Burton's Batman as
a kid. I was about 13 when
it was in theaters, and as a kid I loved the Joker, the car,
the music;
it was just so much fun. But it isn't very logical. I mean take
for
example The Joker. He falls into a vat of toxic waste and his
hair
turns green but his face turns white? I mean come on, it was
fun, as
long as you didn't think too much about it. Great kids movie.
Batman Begins is simply a more realistic film.
It's got more depth,
meaning, back story, logic, and simply makes more sense. It's
a Batman
for a more mature audience.
Both fantastic movies, but I would never call
Tim Burton's Batman
brilliant, fun maybe, entertaining, memorable? Yes. While Nolan's
Batman was an important film, because it had depth, and that's
something missing far too often in today's movie industry.
So you see, you can enjoy both movies, just
for different reasons. And
when you compare them, there's no need to bash either one, for
both
have their merits, and both should be commended for them.
That is all.
