well, if i'm to believe that everybody loved this film i must be seriously ill. Christian Bale is not a masterful actor but i thought that, yes, he was an okay character to play batman. but i felt that all the way through the film there was something missing. Gotham city was portrayed very well; a city crumbling in its own turmoil, drug dealers around every backstreet. but the film wasn't entertaining. i left the cinema feeling strangely disappointed. i felt this film was empty. it lacked a certain key motive, i don't really know what it was, but i was left wanting something extra, something that should have been there. something i did enjoy however was the hallucinogenic drug that was used to mentally torture the enemies. it was very dark. but there was something that i really did like about batman begins. and who couldn't? THE BATMOBILE!!!!!!!! yup, now no matter how much i slate this film i cannot slate that cool... thing! it rules! but overall, i think that batman begins did not have enough 'umph'. it was very, very disappointing... 3/10
