I found myself loving this movie up until the third reel. There was just something missing. When this movie was announced (with a simply AWESOME teaser trailer), I was a little excited but all I cared about was the impending Star Wars: Episode III. I didn't even see this one in the theater. I was surprised when I saw most critics giving it a good review. When I bought it on DVD, I liked it but, like I said before, I didn't love it. |
LOL touche
This movie came out a few weeks after Episode III & I was in no mood to like any movie more than that at the time. We went to see Batman Begins in the opening week but I didn't care...I forced Dad to take me to Episode III again the next day, I was completely obsessed with it.
So Batman Begins was just a distant dull memory to me...I didn't understand much of the movie in the cinemas probably because I didn't pay attention & it wasn't flashy enough.
Then The Dark Knight came and everyone acted like it squished Batman Begins, never bothered going back to it.
But I finally gave in and rewatched it a few months ago and it instantly became my favorite origin story. Loved it much more than I expected to this time...felt really involved with Batmans character & yeah everything till the 3rd act felt perfect but then it felt a bit rushed to me & a bit haphazard. Still a great finale though.
But 2005 belongs to Sith in my heart. Batman Begins is the movie I fell in love with in 2012.
