Right on! Best adaption of the Dark Knight to hit the big screen yet. Closest to Frank Miller's work by far. I can't wait for the sequel. Tim Burton's version was doom and gloom Batman meets Jack Skellingotn and Joel Schumacher's attempts should have stayed in the closet. Two Big Thumb's up from the Enforcer - Way up!

I saw it yesterday. This is without a doubt the best of the Batman movies.

I went and saw War of the Worlds today.


I wish I'd have gone to see Batman.

But War of the Worlds stars todays foremost actor!  Tom Cruise's range of characters has run the gammut from cocky jerk in the MI films to cocky jerk in Rain Man, to an even more cocky jerk in Jerry Maguire.

What did he play in War of the Worlds?  Did he stretch yet again and play a cocky jerk?

Batman Begins is a decent flick. I was pleasantly surprised after the last two. "Returns" had been my favorite of the series thus far, but "Begins" is right up there. Only big nitpick was the pronunciation of Ra's Al Ghul after having heard it differently for so long in the animated series.

Tom cruise in any roll is "Tom Cruise playing ." He has the dynamic range of a brick. Ranks right up there with Ben Affleck in that there are a few movies that are good in spite of them being in it, not because of them being in it.

Oh he is the worst. The Last Samurai? I'm like, basically, it's not a military advisor embracing the Samurai culture he was hired to destroy - it's Tom Cruise in Japan. I cannot seem to be able to suspend my disbelief with that dude.

I thought that Tom Cruise was one of the better parts of an otherwise unimpressive effort.

He has surpassed Ben Afflek. He's in Kevin Costner territory.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Yeah, the new Batman was good stuff.  I enjoyed it a lot more than the first two Batmans, and I won't mention the remaining Batman flicks which were just garbage.  I still like the first two, but they're just, well, totally different.  Probably not worth comparing.

I really enjoyed Batman Begins.

The actors were excellent. Michael Caine was stealing the spotlights...

The only gripe I have with the story is the use of a "microwave device" which should have cooked everybody within a  2 miles radius.
