Got to watch Batman Begins kanina (thank God for having no classes). Anyways, here's a small review about the film i watched kanina (well, it's more on the thing on my mind during and after watching Batman Begins).

Generally, it was a good film. I think the people at DC made it clear that they are not going to make another Batman flick with rubberized-nipples and no-sense villians. This time they focused more on the origin of Batman, thus the title (hello!!). From the spoilers and news i've heard before watching the film, I have no doubt that DC is copyings the style of Marvels on film. Like what Marvel did on the X-Men franchise, they made the movie dark and realistic enough to believe that Mutants are the next discrimination concerns. Same goes with what Batman Begins, minus the Mutant-factor, but more on the corruption & injustice Gotham City has become. Anyways, at first, before watching the film, there are a lot of spoilers na na-spoil na sa akin, but that didn't make me mad or something, it just made me more intrigue to watch it (plus the pressure to watch it too, thanks to my best friend).

As I mentioned a while ago, generally the film was good. The characters that the actors played was really awesome (and this is coming for someone who isn't a fan of DC comics). So far, I liked what Gary Oldman's performance as Gordon (AYOS!!) and Michael Caines' performance as Alfred the Butler (ok yung humor niya!!!). The only thing that i really noticed that made me look twice was the 'bakat-utong' of Katie Holmes, who plays the spunky District Attorney in the film, which kinda reminds me of the Aga-Claudine flick in which she doesn't wear any bra (hehehe).

Last thing, the villians... they are awesome! Scarecrow made a good performance. The actor chosen to play Scarecrow really did a good act on the villian. He's clean-angelic face gave the 'kabalintunaan' about his character (galing!!). The main villian, Ra's Al Ghul was really something. The concept of immortality in the flick was cool (because in the comics, Ra's immortality is caused by the Lazarus' Pit, which is like a fountain of youth, only yukier). Even the human villians are something too. So far every single character in the film gave some impact to the audience.

One more thing, the gadgets... and the Batmobile are something waaaay cool!!! hehehe!!! i want one Batmobile, dark blue!! c",)

Anyways, it was really a cool flick... sobra!! I ever the DVD will come out, I'll buy the original one.

I think that's it na muna...

Laterz... c",)



Good flick!!! (i hope there's a sequel, the cliffhanger was quite a give-away!!)
