Batman Begins

Pros: Emotional impact, plot, score, prescience
Cons: (Sound of wind blowing)

Of people I know in the real world (outside epinions), only one is actually in the movie business.  He is an itinerant first assistant director who lives with my best friend (for whom I now work, but that's another epinion). Earlier this month ...

Pros: A beautifully-crafted drama and an exciting superhero action flick all in one.
Cons: The chemisty between Bale and Holmes lacks, but the film works nonetheless.

Note: Please forgive me if I seem a little too into this subject. I grew up watching reruns of the 1966-1968 Batman TV series with my mother and episodes of Fox's Batman: The Animated Series after school. I've seen every ...

Pros:   Good story, good acting, a fun journey to watch.
Cons:   Pacing isn’t perfect,

  The film starts out with Bruce Wayne in a Chinese prison. Then for the next 30 or so minutes you get to see some beautiful editing of Bruce training for a secret organization and the back story of Bruce himself as well as what lead him to a prison ...

Pros: The Action and effect
Cons: less villains

After the dismal failure that was Batman & Robin, the WB decided to go back to the drawing board. Which has given us this great reivnetion of the series. Christian Bale, known for his heavy method style, transforms himself into The Dark Knight ...

Pros: Acting by Christian Bale and the cast.  Fantastic visuals. Good screenplay by Nolan and Goyer.
Cons: None

I have a confession to make about Batman Begins: it's the best comic book movie I almost never watched.One of the bad side effects of how Warner Bros. mistreated the Batman film franchise in the mid- to late 1990s was that it ...

Pros: The cast minus Katie.
Cons: Lack of continuity.

OMG! Could this movie ever really be more inane? This is yet another movie with a smashing cast and turns out to be something that I could turn off, and easily without really wondering what is going to happen next. (I did, however, watch it all the way ...

Pros: Grittier, darker and more realistic than ever before
Cons: Not for the kids; Bale better as Wayne than Batman

Batman has been done and re-done time and again.  There has been, of course, the comics, as well as some campy cartoons in the 60s and 70s.  Some of us old fogies recall the classic Adam West live-action series from the 60s.  Then in the ...

Pros: Imagery, musical score, cast, story -- everything.
Cons: None that I saw.  Might upset young children.

I will preface this by saying that I might have glanced at a Batman comic book when I was a kid, but have never read one. I did watch the Michael Keaton Batman movie, but my main Batman experience, prior to this movie, was watching the television ...

Pros: Action, suspense, drama, acting
Cons: Batman's reckless in a couple scenes

So what's up with my subject line, huh? Well it does seem like Batman has come out again and again in many different formats over the years. He's been a comic book, a terribly campy TV show, a bunch of cartoons based on the comic and then comics based on ...

Pros: New costumes, more realistic story, better actors
Cons: Nothing

Okay, so Batman's back for the fifth time. Phew! That's a lot of Batman movies! This time around Batman/Bruce Wayne is played by Christian Bale, a newcomer to the Batman throne, however, Bale does provide a fairly decent Batman, nonetheless. Joining Bale ...

Pros: Realistic approach, thorough storytelling of Batman’s origins
Cons: Slow start in the beginning, can get confusing

When I first watched Batman Begins, I was lost for most of the movie. However, after reading a summary on Wikipedia, it all came to me. The parts where Bruce Wayne was training in Asia, the League of Shadows, all of those missing elements from the ...

Pros: More realistic than the last set; solid acting; great set-up for future sequels.
Cons: Katie Holmes (sorry, Katie)

A few years ago, the big buzzword in the movies was “rebooting,” as in taking an established franchise and starting over from scratch instead of producing another sequel. It worked in most cases, and is still taking place today (like the planned new ...

Pros: This film is without fault.
Cons: None.

With 'Batman Begins' Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale have managed, between them, to reinvent and energise a floundering franchise which most people believed to be well past its sell-by date. The garish sets and trashy gags are long gone as Nolan ...

Pros: Awesome Movie!
Cons: Can't stand how the girl talks out of the side of her mouth!

There have been many movies made about batman, some good, and some really just suck. This has got to be the best Batman movie ever made. It's a perfect blend of action with a few funny moments thrown in there. There are certain things a good action movie ...

Pros: Stellar cast, fast paced plot, excellent psychology. Action, Action, Action.
Cons: The Batmobile looks like a radio controlled toy.

Batman Begins by Chistopher Nolan is bold restrart of a great movie franchise. They do it in comics, why not in movies? Originally conceived by Bob Kane, the Dark Knight returns in a slick, well written action movie that still manages to mine the ...
