There are two movies that I enjoyed that seem to have average or less ratings, they are "Accepted" and "Thee love guru", maybe my taste in movies are bad?

I feel like Batman Begins is pretty overshadowed by The Dark Knight. I think the Batman Begins is the best film of the trilogy.
I think the reason it's overshadowed is because it lacks a strong, central villain. Ra's al Ghul and Scarecrow both feel like minor characters in the first film. Both of them lack the intensity and presence that the Joker and Bane have in the following movies.
The villains of the first movie - especially the Scarecrow, who is amazing - are more subtly woven into the narrative. And I think the film is all the better for it, as this was meant to establish the heroic character of Batman after all.
...Plus the advent of Liam Neeson, before he was "cool" ...
Definitely an overlooked film. The trilogy for me, wouldn't even have to exist since this is the one movie I always come back to.
