Batman Begins

Rating:	★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Action & Adventure

The plot of the story is pretty good, taking the audience to the past when the little Bruce Wayne fell into a well and faced his own fear seeing bats coming from a dark cave, saw his own parents murdered before his own eyes, traveled to China, went to prison for a crime, trained by some martial arts experts from a dark underground organization, and planned to fight crime and injustices in his hometown, Gotham city. There are some nice jokes, romances and philosophical discussions about setting up balance in every community, between the rich and the poor, between the good and the corrupt in the society.

However, there were couple of things that bothered me and caused me some headache:

1) The scene with the car chase when Batman in his first and "not-so-good-looking" Bat-mobile was chased by the police. What was the intention of the director to show this scene? A hero that destroys everything that blocks him from not being caught by the police with possibility of endangering the lives of civilians???
2) The cameras were positioned so close with the action during the fighting scenes especially those in the last part of the movie. These dark, blurry, scenes caused my headache. You cannot appreciate the art of fighting unless you can observe the fight. I guess the director needs to learn from Spiderman movie's director who can skillfully shot the fighting actions, including incorporating the slow-motion visual effects.

Lessons learned from this movie:
"Justice is about harmony; vengeance is about making yourself feel better”
"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do, that defines me."
