How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A rigorous, grounded origin story that treats its superhero premise as a serious psychological and moral reckoning. Driven by loss and shaped by brutal training, Batman Begins constructs a vigilante as a response to systemic failure, visceral, methodical, and haunted.

Almost Everything about this film is.........fine.
The sidecharacters are fine.
The villains are fine.
Bruce wayne is fine.
The cinematography and overral filmmaking is great and the actors give good performance....except for bale as bruce wayne.
If kilmer and clooney weren't batman he would be my choice for worst live action batman.
I've said my complaints about him as batman already so i won't go over it again.
The film feels very true to nolans vision wich is good, a film should have a directors touch all over it but on the other hand its personally a really bad adaptation and a pretty boring one at that.
The villains are fine like i said, they don't do that much for me.
Honestly i kinda wasted my time rewatching this but i wanted to give it another go, maybe i would like it after i rewatched tdk and thought that i was to harsh on it but nah.

Dont know why ya'll are hyping this trilogy up so much when only one is a masterpiece that being the second but hopefully the third one proves me wrong

Batman Begins turning 20 this year is giving me an existential crisis.

The Jan to Dark Knight's Marcia, even though it's not the middle child. Very solid origin story, but will forever be in the Dark Knight's shadow.
