Just remembered

I promised to write a review of Batman. Not really in the right mode now, but I'll write a little one.

It took a while for me to get hooked to be honest. Might be because I wasn't really ready for a movie and started over analysing everything, or it might just be because the beginning was a bit slow going. The bit up in the mountains is important to the story, but I think I would've trimmed it a little bit. I eventually got sucked in to the whole thing, and I really liked it.

Christian Bale did a great job. Must admit I was among the folk who wasn't sure abount him for the part, but he kicked ass.

I also liked Cillian Murphy, but I think his role was a bit too short, or unused, felt like they could have done a bit more out of it.

Must admit I had some flashbacks to Episode 1 in the mountain scenes with Liam Neeson. Not a part I'm that used to seeing him in this, but I liked it.

Gary Oldman was good as ever. He is a marvelous actor. Kind of felt he and Liam should have reversed roles, but I liked it very much the way it was.

Michael Caine is one of my faves, and I loved him in this part, almost felt he was made for it.

I also liked Morgan Freeman, I always like what he does.

Thruth be told, I love Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine & Morgan Freeman. They are some of my fave actors out there, and having them in this movie was just wonderful.

The only one I kind of felt weird about was Katie, but that might just be because she'll always be 'Joey Potter' to me... or the hype about her and Tom Cruise.

All in all I really enjoyed the movie, and as I mentioned last time, the cast is greatly responsible for that, in my eyes. They all really did what they came to do, and a bit extra. Am def getting the DVD.

Yeah... I got both movies. I haven't seen Willard, would liketo see the original first. He is good though, I like the idea of him as the joker.

I saw a lego cartoon where he was the joker, quite amusing.
