My Thoughts:
Another enjoyable film from Disney. Though I would say I like The Lion King more...this one is close to as enjoyable. The animation looks wonderful... and the story easily keeps your attention. Other then the main characters here... I must say I really got a kick out of the surfer dude sea turtle.

Batman Begins, a review by Eric
Batman Begins
My Thoughts:
It's been a while since I watched a Batman movie and I was not really impressed with the previous one which I found a bit weak compared to the first and second ones of the "modern era" so I was a bit apprenhensive about this one. It turned out that I had no reason to be afraid as I really enjoyed the movie.
I particularly like the first 30-45 minutes because they really showed you the beginning. It's only after almost one hour that you finally see Batman. They could have made it another action pack from beginning to end Batman movie with a young Batman, fortunately they didn't fall into that trap which IMO makes it a good movie.
Of course ones batman showed up then it was the usual action pack stuff which is very well done if you like that kind of things. One thing that really bothered me is the close up moving cameras..........god do I hate that. I know it's supposed to make me feel like I'm part of the actions but I'm not and I know it. I'm sitting on my butt with a remote in one hand, a beer in the other one and bowl of pop-corn on my thighs. Nobody's hitting me, nobody's shooting at me, nobody's trying to kill me and no matter what they do I will not feel like I'm part of the action because I ain't that stupid. However when I sit to watch a movie I would very much like to see it and those very close and moving cameras really don't show you anything. You see there's a lot going on but you don't really know what.
Anyway, that of course is a matter of taste and although I prefer a more conversational method of filming I did enjoy the movie and I recommend it.
One thing that I can't leave uncommented. Although it's a not the same movie as the first one, not the same actors, not the same director and not the same anything we can think of. It is the same character and it is the story of the same man. in the first movie, there's a flash back scene where you see Wayne's parent being killed. That scene takes place outside after they went to a movie, as I recall Bruce Wayne even still has pop-corn in his hand. Then his parents get killed by the Joker who then points a gun at him and asks him if he ever sings with the wolves at night or something like that, I don't recall the exact sentence.
In Batman Begins, his parents get killed after a night at the opera, not a movie. Then the killer just runs away, he doesn't point his gun at Bruce Wayne and doesn't ask the wolves question and it's unlikely that it was the Joker because the movie shows you that they're killed by some common thief.
Writers should be more careful about continuity in sequels.

Plot:
Kei Kusanagi isn't your typical 15 year old high school student. He's actually an 18 year old with a rare disorder that puts him into what he calls, a "standstill". When he was younger, this disorder left him in a deep coma which stunted his growth for the next three years! Mizuho Kazami isn't your typical teacher either. She's actually an alien sent by the Galaxy Federation to observe the earth! As the sole human being in the knowledge of Ms. Kazumi's secret, Kei must... marry the alien?! Homework, dating, and a gorgeous wife - going to school has never been quite this fun!

The premise may sound ridiculous and a little controversial, but I enjoyed watching this series. The first episode is a good introduction.
