Batman Begins

[unfeathered]

So we eventually got through it last night, with about four or five interruptions from Jack, the last being at 10:20... *rolls eyes*

And... it was good. I have to admit that superhero films are really not my sort of thing, because they have to fit so many cliches in, but I do like 'setting up' stories and I enjoyed that aspect of this one. I didn't like all the nightmare stuff, though. Maggots etc. Eurgh. *shudders*

I loved Christian Bale. He has a huge screen presence and he completely made the film for me.

Christian Bale is amazing, isn't he? I think sometimes he gets attention for being a pretty face, when he deserves it for his acting.

He is. I don't think he is that pretty actually (well, it depends on the hairstyle). It's more charisma, I think.

The Scarecrow is creepy, isn't he? But yeah, it's a really good setting-up story. And I agree on Christian Bale - he really is a very good actor. I've seen him in quite a few things recently, but I think he's at his best in Equilibrium. I've got American Psycho to watch next. Looks like a completely different character from anything I've seen him play so far.

Yeah, I saw Equilibrium just before Christmas - just as Nuptse introduced Lane into Whoville, which was cool! *g* Bit dark for me, that one, and especially a shame as Christian Bale is much prettier when he smiles and he didn't get much of a chance to in that one! Well, or in Batman, actually. :-(

The Scarecrow is very, very creepy. I'm glad they didn't show any more of that than they did!

Yeah, he didn't get to smile much in that one. He smiles a lot in Velvet Goldmine - and looks very young! That was the first thing I saw him in, but I didn't know who he was.

Do you know when you're going to see The Dark Knight?

The first thing I saw him in was Henry V. My Mum was a huge Brannagh fan and I saw that loads. He was, like, 15? And really cute. *g*

No, don't know about The Dark Knight. We have a wedding this weekend so maybe next weekend? Will have to talk to Andy.
