Briefly explain (in 1-3 sentences) why the following sentence would NOT make an effective thesis statement for a formal academic analysis of a film:

"Batman Begins, a compelling account of how Bruce Wayne transformed himself into the 'caped crusader,' is a comic book fan's ideal film, full of rousing fight scenes, lively villains, and eye-popping special effects."

The sentence evaluates the film and is full of descriptive claims, but it does not offer an interpretive claim.
