Batman Begins
The office went to see Batman Begins today. I had been looking forward to it, since it looked like a return to the darker, brooding Batman typified by Tim Burton 's Batman movies. Aside from a few stupid plot elements (a microwave emitter?! c'mon…), I really enjoyed it. The 141 minute runtime breezed by.
The movie did a nice job of explaining Batman's true origins and motivations, giving him depth and humanity. There were also some well placed comedic moments that worked without being cheesy. I hope they make a sequel to this film. (My friend David says that the studio has a trilogy option on the director and some key actors, so that bodes well.)
