Batman Begins

Saw Batman on Sunday night, and I must say it was better than I expected. It certainly was "darker" than the other movies, and there is something about Christian Bale. I always think of how phony he always seems, but every movie I see him in I walk away saying "he was awesome he really pulled it off." This movie, like it's title suggests, begins to show the origins (albeit for the big screen) of Batman, and what I like most is that it shows us his training, and how he gets his equipment and forms alliances. Personally I think it's important, because I think people often forget that Batman has no super power. He is human, and all facets of this are shown from his fear, to his weaknesses, to his compassion.

On a side note, saw this at the pavilion, which I now dub the Mos Eisley of movie theaters. Don't be fooled by its outer appearance, inside are nonsensical creatures that don't shut up, encourage crying babies, and allow their cell phones to ring their entire songs before shutting them off. Not to mention geniuses that block every doorway and staircase by sitting in front of them.
