Batman Begins

Never paid much attention to or particularly liked Christian Bale..

Was thinking that this new Batman outing was gonna be sucky from the trailer when it just came out..

But.. after reading all the rave reviews and watching the movie itself, I discovered a new found love for the man behind the bat.

To think that I used to be not so hot with Christian Bale's look sounds kinda absurd now, cos after seeing him donning the Dark Knight's suit, made me want to have his action figures! He's way too manly and cool in the movie and for that we have the director to thank for :-)

There are so many darn-how-cool-is-that scenes in the movie I sorta lost count, i.e. the Batmobile (yes, I love this buggie!), the classic silhouette of Batman with his long draping knight cape standing on top of some skyrise building at night, the bat sky gliding, the bat come a swooping or is it a tornado neat o' trick, the upside down hanging without getting caught in his own cape stunt, etc..

I think I really shouldn't need to write how good it is, cos the same message has basically been conveyed by countless other reviews: Get the DVD! And the action figures! :-P
