a few problems I still notice when I watch it are moreso in the script, mainly in that the movie strives to be a serious drama, then every once in a while comes a cringeworthy attempt at comedy, or a clanging one-liner of some sort. Other than that I think that though this was the "beginning" I still think they wasted far too much screentime on areas like bruces parents, not that their characters weren't important to the story, but after all that screentime all we know is they were reeeeeally nice people, that's not character development. Same with gordon, all we know of him by the end of begins is that he's one of the "good guys", not much more. there are more areas that still don't sit right with me, so anyone championing begins as some kind of deep character driven story is, in my opinion, sightly naive.
