Really people... "The best movie of the year!". This is what is wrong with American Film; fans that get super excited over some explosions, flash, and a poorly constructed story. As a movie goer we need to expect more from our movies. Yes Batman Begins was moderately entertaining to sit down and watch for 2 hours but that is the extent of its value. Chrisian Bale played an awkward Batman that was thrown into outlandish situations and chased enemies through mcguffin and plot hole to save Gotham City. Concrete does not crumble in minutes, steam is not visible (steam is super heated water vapor that you can't see, thats water vapor in the movie), diesel vehicles or large gas powered engines don't have a stealth mode you can turn on at a whim, and there is no weapon that can do that to water, what is the science behind it? I'm sure as some people are reading this they are thinking that you just have to suspend belief when watching some movies, especially a super hero movie. To these people I remind you of the mcguffin of the microwave weapon, what point did it have? I also would like to point out the sub-par acting of a good actor, the awkward characters, and the odd plot that was pieced together. You can not throw a ton of money at a movie and expect it to be an instant masterpiece. Writing a movie and filming it is a very involved process and takes a very careful touch that Batman Begins lacked. However, to the huge Batman fan, watch this movie. It is certainly better than the last two that have come out. And again, it is two hours of brainless entertainment. My verdict a renter where you can split the cost at least 4 ways.
