Batman Begins
Ok, so I went with Jason and Co. to see the new Batman movie last night (just about 24 hours ago, actually), and I have probably one word to say about it:
HOLYFUCKINGBATMANGASM!!
That movie was everything I had ever wanted out of a Batman film, and I was NOT disappointed. Last week, I overheard people complaining that the new one might be too dark. TOO FUCKING DARK?!?! He's the DARK fucking Knight! Go see "The Pacifier" if you want something a little lighter. Jackasses.
Anyways, I had hoped that a movie would come out explaining his roots ever since I saw the one with Val Kilmer, where the director had touched on the beginnings of the Bat. No offense to Michael Keaton, but Val was pretty awesome. However, EVERYONE pales in comparison to Christian Bale. And Michael Caine. And Morgan Freeman. Katie Holmes = ehh, she was alright, but not exactly spectacular. And psychology in comic book films should be more widespread, Period.
And no, I have not read a single Batman comic. For some reason, I had never been able to get into those, almost as if I would prefer to see the film adaptation and take that for what it is. Thank god I'm living in an era where every comic book seems to make a leap to the big screen.
I'm sure it goes without saying that Batman is my favorite superhero. Always has been. Now I have more proof as to why.
And sure, this might be cross-posted on MySpace... Damn Internet addiction...
