I've seen "Batman Begins" three or four times now. It always leaves me flat. It's a good looking movie but that's all it really has going for. The story is blah and the action isn't much better. This movie also has another hurdle and it's a difficult one to overcome: Christian Bale. Bale is one of the worst "great" actors ever. He's always more of a distraction than anything else. Unfortunately, Bale isn't the only unlikeable cast member in this movie. There are quite a few of them. If you don't care about the characters, you don't care about the movie. Honorable mention: Rutger Hauer.
