Tension!!! brilliance!!! - Batman Begins Reviews

Apart from this movie being pure genius.... examine, if you will what the director/ producer/ casting director [even!] has done: They've taken actors who have played creepy characters & turned them good!! darkly good, mind you, but indeed the good guys... I couldn't help but think to myself, OMG, I'm watching Christian ['American Psycho'] Bale *not* hack anybody up with a chainsaw, and Linus 'Smiling Man/Pissed Alien'] Roache from the Forgotten. The whole time he's interacting with young Bruce, I'm quietly panicking-- run Bruce run! he's gonna take you away on his spaceship! haha! yes, yes, some of viewers may not have ever seen either film, but for me [and maybe a few others] the creep factor was very strong, lending to some nice tension! Even Gary Oldman, who has always played tormented souls & bad guys... then again as good cop Gordon, he still is a little tormented.... Then on the flipside they did something else... Liam Neeson is always the good guy, now he's dark & twisted, convinced that destruction will save... wow... maybe carefully engineered, maybe inadvertent, but VERY COOL! Even the scarecrow idea was cool ~ using one's own mind [with a little help of course] as an antagonist to destroy others... Brilliant. AWESOME EVERYTHING! GO see it NOW!! Even the bats were cool! Some things I didn't like: - Christian's whispery voice... rrrrrr [he must have cringed at the premier] I was a-twitchin! - Why Katie Holmes??? and I thought she was petering out gracefully... now we're gonna keep seeing more & more of her mediocrity w/ this new Scientology/Tom 'interest' ughhh... nice hair tho, whatever! - Token Morgan Freeman/Black bs~ shove the brilliant black man in the basement & have him vindicated at the end, lovely... duh....
