>what about this movie looks corny? i would like to know.

'Batman Begins' was splendid.

Splendid.

Splendid.


The reasons why we loved it so much, were, however,
very contextual:

a) It was a real origin story. Never been done in a
super hero movie, at least recently. It was done and
done well.

b)It came AFTER BATMAN AND ROBIN and so our expectations
had dropped to an all-time low. We didn't expect shit.
The fact that it was well made and "dark" made it particularly
intriguing.


The sad truth is that the actual Batman-villain
interactions in 'Batman Begins' were actually kind of
corny, and the first half of the movie was substantially
better than the second half of the movie. Cry if you want
to, but that is true. Nobody cared about the nigga wearing
the mask, or any of that dumbass shit. No one cared about
Katie Holmes fighting drug kingpins. We all but dozed off
in those scenes because her character sucked and her conflict
was cliche and unnecessary to even make that film good.

So what did we like?

We liked to see Bruce in Tibet, whooping ass, doing the
god body knowledge, learning the ropes. That is what
made that movie great.

Liam Neeson made that movie. Not his evil-ness. But
his philosophy. The organic-nature of his interactions
with Bruce early on.

We like Alfred.

We liked Detective Gordon.

We liked seeing how Gotham took to Batman.


Now that the whole origin novelty has worn off, we just
have another superhero movie that is "Dark."


Ummm...okay.


It'll be aight.


But not that good.


It'll be about as good as the 2nd half of
'Begins' which is a solid 'B' movie at best.

There will prolly be some cornball shit up
in there though.
