My netflix picks for this week with reviews

[-Skeme-]

I thought Batman Begins was insanely mediocre. And The Machinist was awful. I liked it better as Identity, Fight Club, High Tension, Gothika, A Tale Of 2 Sisters and Secret Window. Actually, I didn't, barring Fight Club, those were all isanely terrible as well.

Batman Begins 2 hours.

This is the best Batman movie ever made. There I said it, flame away Tim Burton fan boys. Seeing how Bruce Wayne evolves into Batman is the aspect I like most in this movie. I also like how this movie has less of a comic book feel and more of a real life present time feel to it. This has the effect of giving Batman less of superhero feel and more of a driven modern man with access to modern technology feel. With less of a mythical feel to Batman, one feels as if the future is now. This is one thing I say to people, "We are living in the future." This is a refreshing break from the recent Batmans that stretch it to the point of deus ex machina. Great movie, best superhero, must see.

I agree that this is the best Batman ever, but I had one major suspension of disbelief problem I just can't get around. Not wanting to ruin it for those who haven't seen it, I'll just say this: The human body is 80% water. Think about it.

Batman Begins = I'd say the best superhero movie ever made, to date. But Batman's always, always been my favourite superhero cos his 'superpower', if you can call it that, is his will. This to me, makes him supremely human.

Equilibrium = absolutely hated it the first time I ever saw it, seemed hokey and the whole emotionless thing just didn't work for me as characters who should be emotionless were emoting like crazy.... however, I rewatched it some time later (6 months+), and liked it a whole lot better. The gun fu is awesome, it must be said.


RotS = fun.
