Saw Batman Begins this afternoon (yay! movie passes)and I didnt like it as much as some have.

I found the fight scenes to be a jumbled mess. And Ken Watanabe was wasted as Ra's Al Ghul and prefered the comic version of Henri Ducard, but then I am a comic geek.

Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman were all wonderful in their parts and I found the use of the League of Shadows an interesting stand in for the League of Assassins (which Ra's Al Ghul founded).

I would be curious if they keep this Batman franchise going whether they bring in Ibn al Xu'ffasch in somehow.

But overall I found the movie to be fun and hope to see more. Just clean up the fight scenes.

3.5 out of 5 stars.
Mood:: tired
Music:: Batdance - Prince - Batman

Ken Watanabe wasn't wasted as Ra's Al Ghul because he wasn't Ra's Al Ghul.

I think that Ra's Al Ghul seems to be more of a cover story in the movie, rather than a real character. I also didnt like the "I won't kill you, but I won't rescue you either". The Batman dosent kill. But hey its a movie and the not the comic so I am not getting my knickers in a knot.
