Batman Begins - row seven from the front, center

Don't got the time right now to get into this much. But went to see Batman Begins the other day, and got mixed POV's ( ie. both good and bad ) on my own impressions of it.

From my reading of the script a few months ago, I pretty well had many of the same POV's already in mind. Now upon seeing the movie itself, many of these pre-envisioned expectations were "confirmed". There were some other new impressions however about such things, like, how the action on the page was cinematically "translated" onto screen, that provided new insights - including one big stylistic bugaboo* ( for me at least ) that I'd really very much want to avoid in any superhero Sunman based movie - for the sake of the viewing audience.

P.S. A thing that's especially annoying for an IMAX type screening - thankfully I was at an ordinary type cinema for this viewing.

Got to run now.
