Batman Begins

Are you saying they should make movies according to what MPAA rating they want?

[Ghostboy]

Technically, it's not for commercial reasons or because of the MPAA, but because, narratively, Bruce had already reconciled himself to not killing after the whole courthouse incident. If there was an opportunity for the filmmakers to let him to actually commit murder, that would have been it - obviously, they figured intent to kill was sufficient enough.

this didn't work for me -- he wasn't willing to kill a man who was a criminal - however he was willing to kill a flock of ninjas and blow up there compound.

Furthermore, Bruce doesn't want to inflict harm, yet he probably killed a few cops during that beligerant car chase.

Yeah that police car flipping around was so stupid, the officers in it are obviously dead.

which betrays its own logic.

[Gamblour.]

Pas, I got it.

[cron]

i know people who've survived car flippings . a racer friend of mine has been involved in two.

Right. Logic must be obeyed.

Really, cronopio? TWO car flippings and he survived?

[cron]

he's lucky i guess. he smokes too much marihuana and hash though.

Right. Logic must be obeyed.

key words: "its own".

movies hav their own logic. their own logic. own. their own internal logic. key words: "its own".

He was willing.  Someone else killed him before he got to.

I liked this one okay.  I liked how the bad guy was ruining the city through like horror images.  that's kinda cool.  the action scenes were pretty bad.  either incomprehensive or just simply boring eg. gary oldman pulling an anakin skywalker in episode one.  however, compared to the previous four batman films, including tim burton's two boringtacular watch-how-cool-my-sets-are cirque de solei-without-burnout-gymnasts overrated crapfests, this one was way better.  its characters at least had some depth and at least the camera moves every once in a while.  it was a little bit fun and a little bit deep, perhaps a bit too self-referencial for its own good, but I guess that's what happens when you make a prequel.

I like the reinterpretation of the Scarecrow too...though the actor sucked ass..not in in his acting but in his being a dipshit
