The review starts innocently enough with calling the movie "deeper and darker" than most summer block busters which I wholeheartedly agree with and was on my way to believing that this was going to be the best movie review of all time.
Alas, the review took a violent turn for the worse - and it must be said that it's not a problem with the reviewer but the review itself. The review out of nowhere started to chastise the movie for perpetuating the beginning of the Batman myth. The movie is clearly called Batman Begins and seeing as that his parents' dying is a key part of why he Batman Began in the first place it needed to be in there. Those who don't want to see it should show up about 15 minutes late. If I went to see a movie about the Giants winning the Super Bowl in 1991 i would definitely want Scott Norwood's kick going wide right at the end even if i knew it was going to happen.
The review really started to pick up at the end using words like "and", "the", "crazily" , "Cain", "human", "Interesting", and "flick".
All in all this review was pretty good (4 fjords out of 5)- i'd suggest reading this if you have the time and the housecleaning is already done. I do suggest reading anything else this guy writes. Be forewarned that the review might leave you feeling a bit empty inside midway through - but it's nothing that watching old Bruce Wayne's parents die again and again won't easily cure.

I guess this review of my review while tough and critical, was pretty positive. Fjord stars is good enough to probly equal a "two thumbs up" or "if you read one review this year, read this one!" which is good enough for most people to want to read my review. So, thanks for the favorable review!
