And thus it began...
Batman Begins is just what I hoped it would be. The story makes sense, the acting is great, the casting is brilliant, it's stylish and it's clever.
I approached the cinema with slight apprehension, as I really wanted to like the film - after all Chris Nolan made Memento, for pete's sake! - but I was nothing less than concerned. Dare I mention Batman & Robin?
But it's good. And no, it is not because I want to like the film (or the fact that I've loved Christian Bale from the bottom of my heart since we were both was 14 and he starred in Empire of the Sun) it is because it - is - good.
Only cause for concern now is that reportedly Bale has signed up for another two films, with or without Chris Nolan.
Why must there be more? Batman Ends? Batman Reawakens? Please don't.
Other than that: have been eating my way 'round Regent's Park, mainly due to free tickets (there's nothing like freebies), unbearable heat and a massive need to sleep and not enough time in whch to do it. Pity me.
