I thought Batman Begins was very good. Not the Best! Movie! EVAHHH!!, but when taken in context of the Batman film franchise, it's not surprising the fanboys fell all over themselves praising it. The last Batman movie was Batman and Robin in 1997, and, well, you know. To have a movie that returned to the gothic roots of the character and had a well-cast, respectable actor playing Bruce Wayne (and a pretty prestigious supporting cast), and was not obviously a "comic book movie" was probably an ecstatic dream come true for the faithful.

I just can't get too worked up over Hayden's Razzie. As may_child pointed out (great post, btw), the Razzies are just a publicity stunt by self-important geeks with too much time on their hands, and also, it's far more likely that "Golden Globe nominee" will precede Hayden's name in the press (and particularly in any future ad campaigns) than "Razzie winner," especially if his next projects have commercial success and/or critical favor. I can't think of anyone's career being seriously hurt by a Razzie unless the person actually deserved it and their career was going nowhere, anyway.
