Is Batman Begins at all worth seeing? In an escapist sense?

Yes and no. It's too long. About 1/2 hour too long. I saw it at the IMAX, was pretty cool (but $13 a ticket?). But you have to hear that whole story again about how Batman became Batman. Only in more excruciating detail.
And I didn't buy Michael Caine as Alfred. And I discovered that I don't really like Katie Holmes (shocking, I know). And Liam Neeson makes you think you're watching a Jedi fight. And Morgan Freeman plays a guy that you want to call Q.
Otherwise, the husband really really liked it - said it was his favorite Batman movie. It's probably because of the Batmobile.
But Batman is hot. Except for a slight speech impediment, and crooked teeth, which makes you wonder why Katie Holmes couldn't figure it out. And of course the obvious and obnoxious teaser for a sequel at the end. And I don't think there can be a better Joker than Jack Nicholson, but I guess I'll have to wait and see in 2008.
