Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

Release the hound!!!

Advantages: An excellent idea and extremely well pulled off
Disadvantages: None

Another cracking Jet Li performance. I'm sorry but a lot of my friends do not like Jet Li and I personally think that he is fantastic especially when his predecessor was Bruce Lee. Hard footsteps to follow. Jet teamed up with Morgan Freeman and Bob Hoskins in this intense action thriller. I must start by saying that I have never ever seen any of this directors movies but now that I have seen this one I will definitely be looking out for some more ...
...of an excellent action flick witch was shot in a very stylish way. Well done that man. Bob Hoskins plays character that the would not normally play giving his short and fat frame. He plays a gangster in Glasgow. I know it seems a bit surreal but this man pulls it off to a T. He is like a jack Russel, Small but can bark very loud. He used to see a chinese prostitute and unfortunately for her she passes away by one means or another if you know what ...

They've made the other man say he shot the other one in the head as he came at him with a knife. Fearing for his life the accused takes responsibility for shooting him and is sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Review of Edison (DVD)

As So The Story Begins

Advantages: Good action, great effects, good storyline
Disadvantages: Batman's voice!

...curious to find out how Batman began and what made him want to be him. I am so glad that I did as I so enjoyed the film. As I said previously this was watched on the TV so this is a FILM ONLY REVIEW. At the start of the film we see a very young Bruce Wayne playing with his friend Rachael when he falls down a well and is attacked by bats. He suffers nightmares from this and when he is at the opera with his parents and there are bat like actors on ...
...was keen to know how Batman became what he did and I have to say that I was not disappointed in anyway. I think the only downside to the film for me was the role of Christian Bale as I did not like him playing the role in the Dark Knight either. He was great when he was playing Bruce Wayne and even when he put the Bat suit on but as soon as he opened his mouth as Batman it just went wrong! I loved how he managed to portray the hurt he was bottling ...
