Daaaaamn. I'll be the first to tell you after the first four Batman joints old Tyrone was skeptical that this fifth joint - Batman Begins - would be anything but more of the same. Well to paraphrase that wise hip-hop sage Nelly: Dude, stand on the left cuz you know you ain't right...They took Batman back his Dark Knight roots, gave him a deep backstory, tricked out his gear and created the same character on screen that a legion of DC comic fans (including biddy bop Tyrone Malone) loved in the comic (particularly the darker graphic novels). With this latest incarnation, they took it deep, y'all. I'll have to give 3.5 Spinners - particularly cuz they got my main man Morgan Freeman in that joint. Even the casting of Christian Bale (the casting I spent big time cracking on as I'm not (wasn't) too fond of his work since his racist, homicidal turn in John Singleton's Shaft remake) was dead on the money. I could even stand smirkin' Katie Holmes for 2 hours and 15 minutes, so that should tell you a lot about this movie. Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever & Batman & Robin - y'all really need to be ashamed of yourselves...
Looks like the summer movie season is *finally* here...
Peace@Least,
Tyrone
