Just BLOWN AWAY by Batman Begins last night. Everything I remember having issues with the first time seemed wonderful this time. For some reason I hated Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes the first time around but this time she seemed a pretty good fit. (Of course she's not in the next one, which is fine, I didn't love her.)
They did an incredible job of melding the seriousness with the grand scale of things. Nothing comes off as cheesy, even as over-the-top-ness is everywhere, and I'm cackling over whatever awesome gadgetry or death-defying moment seems totally believable within the realm of the film. Damn, that's some good action-filmmaking.
*crosses fingers*
