Pros: Bale-Freeman-Oldman-Kaine, the darkness, the acting, the script, rewriting movie story Cons: none
Batman Begins is a return to glory for a franchise that was once thought to be sunk by Mr. Ocean and Joel S. Gone are the flashy colors that prevailed in the last 2 installments, and gone are the tongue in-cheek sexual references that try to make ...
Pros: Cast, direction, the way the story was handled Cons: None for me. Could be too slow in places for some viewers.
Batman has been one of the most popular comic book characters for years. I have never read any of the Batman comics and I didn’t see the television show. When the first Batman movie was released in 1989, I had no desire to see it even though ...
Pros: The TRUE Batman makes his long-awaited return. Cons: Wanted to see more Ken Watantabe.
“They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out ...
Pros: Bale and cast, script, direction Cons: Potential sequels have a tough act to follow
Bruce Wayne has grew up to be very much like his father. Both father and son share a belief in their Gotham City, a love of philanthropy and a disdain for crime. It was that disdain for crime that ultimately cost Thomas Wayne his life. The murder of ...
Pros: Great SFX, fantastic cast... Cons: ... everything's over-done...
Batman Begins tells the story of the early days of Bruce Wayne, how he became a crime-fighting Batman, what motivated him to do so, and where he got his technological wizardry from. We see him as he explores the criminal underworld and meets some ...
Pros: more interesting story and characters, great action, interesting issues Cons: every virtue is ruined by excess
This is the first Batman in a long time, maybe ever, that's actually about something. Imagine that. Batman Begins is probably the most interesting, textured film in the Batman franchise - but it's also the most Taoist. In a genre that casts stark ...
Pros: good acting (mostly), great visual effects, solid cast, fits well with the other Batman movies Cons: some cheesy dialogue, Batman’s voice, Scarecrow and his mask, seemed to drag on
It’s been eight years since the horrible Batman & Robbin, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Clooney and Uma Thurman, was released. Batman suits up for another adventure in his quest to get rid of the sinister villains lurking in Gotham. ...
Pros: The DVD is everywhere. Cons: Not for small children, graphic violence and lots of fights.
Lets forget about my efforts to re-write a Christmas jingle for Batman Begins 2005, with my corny introductory title and focus on this action packed film. The movie opens with young Bruce chasing Rachel through what looks like an enchanted ...
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: Not a moment of boredom. Cons: It takes a bit of time to get to the really good stuff...
You could have hit me with a quote from any of the previous Batman films and I never would've been the smarter about it. I've seen each of the previous films exactly once, and the memories of them are mostly lukewarm. I think about the most ...
Pros: Outstanding writing, direction, acting, character choice--this is finally the Batman I've always known! Cons: Waiting a few years for a sequel...
Well, we finally made it to Batman Begins, and loved it. We were all ready to go the first weekend, had the babysitter scheduled and all, and then I came down with a little touch of what I hope was food poisoning, because if it wasn't food poisoning it ...
Pros: Excellent all the way through Cons: Takes about an hour before he actually becomes Batman
Batman Begins takes the Batman story back to its roots and shows how and why Bruce Wayne became Batman. Of all the previous films, this is easily the best and most mature of them. I did thoroughly enjoy Tim Burton’s vision of the original ...
Pros: Realism-anchored stylistic approach, Captivating story matter, Superb leading man fronting Star cast, ‘Dark mood'. Cons: Too much story, Silly dialogue at times, Needlessly long running time.
After director Joel Schumacher run the cinematic Batman franchise to the ground with his two silly movies “Batman forever” and ‘Batman and Robin” Warner Bros execs were in for some serious thinking. The wait lasted 8 years: “Batman begins”, the latest ...
Pros: Direction/Script, Look, Production, Score, Action, Effects, & Cast. Cons: That I'll Never Get a Batmobile Like That.
For many comic book fans, there's been loads of superheroes whether it's Superman, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. One of the darkest superheroes to come out of the DC Comics franchise has been Batman from comic book writer Bob Kane. A ...
Pros: A return to the darker side of Batman. Cons: Perhaps too intense for younger children.
Just yesterday, I managed to sneak away from the ever-busy world long enough to catch a showing of Batman Begins. I wasn’t sure what to expect, though the reviews I had read seemed very positive indeed. In the end, I was swept away back into ...
Pros: Filled with solid performances, solid directing, and a story that is complete Cons: None
After viewing the catastrophe that was “Batman and Robin”, it felt as if the Batman Franchise had been inflicted with the type of wound that you don’t recover from. To no one’s surprise, it took more than eight years for the franchise ...
Pros: Script. Production value. Acting. The first half is phenomenal. Cons: Typical last act.
As the title hints, Batman Begins is not a sequel to the three (the latest previous attempt doesn't count) recent installments featuring the Caped Crusader, but rather a new dawn that unabashedly ignores any established precedents. The end result ...
Pros: Nicely done script; stellar action (well almost); great special effects. Cons: Ms. Holmes was out of her element; the Bat Mobile lacked grace and style.
I have never been a big fan of the DC comic book heroes with the exception of Superman and Batman, but I have been getting more acquainted with them by watching Teen Titans and Justice League Unlimited on Cartoon Network on ...
Pros: Visually stunning, and unusually intelligent. Cons: Overlong, with a few too many characters thrown at viewers.
The bat was broken. Warner Bros. “Batman” film franchise was a box office powerhouse in the 90s, earning in the neighborhood of three-quarters of a billion dollars in the United States alone over the course of four films. But each successive ...
Pros: Most of the stuff was great! Cons: A few things...
Over the years, many superhero films have been destroyed in the hands of incapable directors. Ang Lee pretty much screwed The Hulk up for me as did Stephen Norrington with Blade and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. An ...
Pros: Easily the best Batman film yet. Cons: Some of the Scarecrow's dialogue was over the top.
To: Mr. Bruce Wayne of Wayne Enterprises. Gotham City New York. Dear Mr. Wayne: Been a while since you heard from me hasn't it? Since 1997 in fact, when your last appearance went down like Bill Kamal at a nursery school. Now I see you back on the ...
Pros: Christian Bale; the story being more than just FX and crap Cons: Katie Holmes; stupid one-liners
I wasn’t going to write this review, since my very feelings have already been well-articulated in numerous other reviews. But each time I see another review, or another trailer, I’m reminded once more of my initial thoughts upon exiting the ...
Pros: Everything. Cons: Nothing, but it feels kind of old.
I'll be honest with you: I've never seen a Batman movie before, so perhaps my view of Batman Begins is a bit skewed. Sure, maybe I watched the original Tim Burton one when I was three years old, but that hardly counts for anything. But who cares? ...
Pros: Almost perfect casting and acting, storyline, almost everything Cons: May be too long for the casual movie goer, other then that nothing
When one looks at Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne and you may wonder why so many people love this guy in comparison to many other superheroes out there. Now there is no doubt that Batman is a great superhero but he just isn't as easily accesible and ...
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: Nolan and company have tweaked this Batman to better connect with the audience. Cons: Holms and Bale have funny mouth movements when speaking, Watanabe WOEFULLY underused.
...if you devote yourself to an ideal... ...you become something else entirely." So was the quotable quote for the new Batman Begins trailer. Away went Joel Shumacher, nipples on the Batsuit, and overacting. Here was a ...
Pros: Dark. Action packed. Very good plot overall. Liam Neeson Cons: A couple of minor things
Batman is a superhero I’m better well acquainted with than I am with others. I know his real identity is Bruce Wayne, he lives in Gotham City and has a butler named Alfred. I know he doesn’t have any real superpowers, he’s just a ...
Pros: dark tone and look, Bale, Oldman as Gordon, very dramatic, good visuals, good action sequences Cons: Rachel Dawes, one or two too many main secondary characters
I like Christian Bale. I always have. I was very happy when I discovered they were making a Batman origin story starring Bale. That said, I've found the other Batman movies very hit or miss but I don't necessarily agree with common opinion regarding ...
Pros: Scarecrow, Christian Bale, builds to a decent climax Cons: Liam Neeson's "coaching", Morgan Freeman in his usual sidekick role
When I was a kid I got most of what I know about Batman from the cartoon where he teamed up with the Scooby Doo gang. There may have been Harlem Globetrotters involved and maybe even TV’s Dick Van Dyke. I knew most of his major archrivals, of ...
I remember having seen the coming attractions to the previous Batman movies, but I never really wanted to watch any of them. Part of it was that I was never really into comics. Another part was that I didn’t know anyone else that wanted to see them. ...
Pros: story, Bale's portrayal of Batman, Nolan's directing Cons: we've seen the "take over the city's water supply" plot before
Coming from the guy who couldn't groove to the four previous glossy Batman films (yes, even the first), I am happy to report that Christopher Nolan's version hits just the right key, just the right note and just the right style. "Batman Begins" is, to ...
Pros: it's a great movie Cons: the villians are a bit lame though
When I was in the big city today I notice that Batman begins was starting today in the theater so I decide to go in. Now I liked the original movie a lot, but all the others between them have been mediocre at best, and were better off has fertilizer at ...
Pros: Batman is finally brought to the screen as it should be. Good performances, good writing. Cons: Secondary characters have much smaller roles in comparison to Bale's.
Someone has finally done it right. Someone has finally made the Batman as he should be. I suppose it's a symptom of the maturing of the comic book-to-movie genre that has happened in the years since the first Batman Movie came out. No, not the Adam West ...
Pros: Caine, Oldman,Murphy,Bale, the Batmobile and several moments. Cons: Holmes, mis-choreographed action scenes, conventional story-telling, ho-hum script.
Christopher (Memento, Insomnia) Nolan's "BATMAN BEGINS" is not a movie about teenage angst and swashbuckling derring do like Sam Raimi’s Spiderman series—nor is it just another dumb-down campy, flashy comic book movie. It is also not dark, ...
Pros: good script, love the origins of Batman, Best of the bunch Cons: It drags a bit, not enough of Ken Wantanabe
Growing up in the 1960s, I used to marvel at the Batman TV series. I even had my own version of a Batman Halloween costume as a kid. Yup, I even had the Batman bed sheets. Thinking back, I never had any Batman underwear, that would've been a little ...
Pros: The acting and visual appeal of the film... Cons: ...nothing important.
The word 'prequel' strikes terror into my heart. Generally they suck. None more so than those with attempt to cover some the 'becoming the man they were' ground. Speaking of horrors, we have a Young James Bond movie to look forward to. So my ...
Pros: Intense and excitingly different, great performances Cons: Script goes haywire in the second half
Sequels, prequels, remakes, re-releases, "re-imaginings", comic adaptations - These are what now constitute the bulk of Hollywood's output, particularly over the summer months. Take a look at what's been coming off the blockbuster production line for the ...
Pros: ninjas, cool gadgets, interesting mix of villains, good acting, maintains the right mood Cons: nothing much
When he was a kid, Bruce Wayne, son of billionaire Thomas Wayne, fell into a deep hole and was frightened by a flurry of bats. Later, returning home from the opera one night, the Waynes were confronted by a mugger, who shot and killed Bruce’s parents in ...
Pros: Cinematography, direction, Bale himself, great cast. Cons: Not a thing.....
Batman Begins, this summer’s entry into the Batman film legacy, redefines the series. Director Christopher Nolan, who has already captivated me with his takes on “Memento” and the Al Pacino vehicle, “Insomnia” finds the ...
Pros: Everything because they got it right Cons: Editing tricks, occasional scares
For anyone who has lost faith in the Batman series, Batman Begins is the movie that finally gets it right. This is the movie that restores the much needed dignity to the memory of the series, which was destroyed by the likes of camp director Joel ...
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: True to the Source Material
Great Cast Cons: Pacing is slow in some places
DC’s Dark Knight has gone through many transitions in Hollywood. From the darkness of Tim Burton’s original “Batman” to the horrible Batman and Robin movies, the franchise has hit rock bottom. The problem is that the films leaned more on the cheesy side, ...
Pros: acting, plot, direction, structure, cinematography Cons: script doesn't quite balance emotion, setup, and action, so the duration suffers.
"Batman Begins" brings great dignity and respect to the legend of the dark knight that the previous four installments did not. The film is so precise and respectful of its subject matter, so detailed of the protagonist’s past and how he, Bruce Wayne, ...
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: The casting, the acting, the atmosphere, the score, the plot, Christian Bale Cons: Katie Holmes and her lumpy face
Oh where to even start? At the beginning I suppose. Batman Begins takes us back and shows us Bruce Wayne’s transformation to the Caped Crusader. Most of the early plot is fairly well known to anyone familiar with any part of the Batman mythology, ...
Pros: Christian Bale, sexy European women swimming in restaurant fountains Cons: ...et al
Stars: Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Gary Oldman Directed by: Christopher Nolan I'm fresh off this rubbish, and my mind is as warped as Mel Gibson's sense of ...
Pros: Good story, great action, very intense and time flies. Cons: Katie Holmes too young looking. Scarecrow mask is pathetic. Batman's raspy voice.
Although my review probably doesn't differ from anyone else's, I just wanted to express my opinion on this film. It is awesome! I believe it to be the best of all the Batman films that have been out. I remember enjoying the first one with Jack Nicholson ...
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: Good acting, Nice character development, Decent story Cons: Some pacing issues, Underuse of Cillian Murphy
One of the lowest days of my life was back in college; I did movie reviews for the school newspaper and for the summer issue, I was asked to review a number of movies and I was given a day to do it. I watched "Con Air," "Men In Black," and "Batman and ...
Pros: Excellent story telling. Plot moves effortlessly. Well casted. Cons: I just hope they make more.
What is the film about? The plot requires little explanation, as most Americans already know the story of Batman, the alter ego of the tormented billionaire Bruce Wayne. It’s a story that's been told many times on screen. But this time, ...
Pros: Nearly everything about the film. Cons: Nothing striking, although you could be a bit lost at the beginning.
The real Batman finally stands up. The latest installment of the Batman series has arrived, and as the title suggests, it tells the story of how Batman became Batman. Christopher Nolan takes over the direction and heals the wounds of watching Joel ...
Pros: great cast/chemistry, direction, cinematography, production design, musical score & NO Joel Schumacher Cons: Scarecrow might scare the hell outta younger kids
Nipples on the Bat-suit. A Bat-credit card. Street gangs with Christmas tree lights as part of their wardrobes. And a villain best described as a walking refrigerator whose arsenal included cringe inducing puns. Suffice to say, director Joel ...
Pros: Nolan; Bale; strong story and characters; dark and gritty and good fight scenes Cons: Overwhelming climax; a so-so villain; Katie Holmes
Where was the Batman saga when we left off? Let’s see…the governor of California as Mr. Freeze? Nipples on the bat suits? An immensely annoying sidekick? Dear God…I think that everyone can safely assume that the Batman movies were ...
Pros: Just about everything. Cons: A few fight scenes are a bit long.
After the fourth (and worst) cinematic installment of this comic-book hero, I'd hoped that I'd seen the end of the "Batman" franchise. When Batman Begins was about to open, all I could think was, "Oh no, not another one!" After it ...
Pros: Good Quiet moments. Great acting. Faithful to the subject matter. Cons: Poorly directed action scenes. Mediocre plot.
After 16 years and much hype, someone finally saw fit to tackle the elusive "good Batman film", and as a friend of mine put it, "it can't be bad if there are no bat ice-skates". Director Christopher Nolan (Memento, Insomnia) and screenwriter David Goyer ...
Pros: Great Story, good performances and action. Cons: Holmes is not used much.
In the dark of night, a young mans life is about to be forever changed. Young Bruce Wayne, son of wealthy industrialist Dr. Thomas Wayne (Linus Roache), is about to be orphaned in a random act of street violence. The act will forever scar the ...
Pros: great design, practical technology updates, portrayals, new villains Cons: didn't need the bad language
Batman reinvented. That’s Batman Begins. The movies have changed the styles and designs, but only Tim Burton’s first Batman, which has been my favorite of the franchise up until now, had done a thorough overhaul creating the basic concepts that would ...
Pros: The story, the directing, the acting, the Batmobile Cons: Katie Holmes
First of all, I must admit that I am a Batman fan. Having said this, one might think that as such I would be ready to consume anything related without asking too many questions, just as regular fans do about whatever they truly like. But no, since I’m ...
Pros: Special effects, some good action, emotional side of Bruce wayne, scarecrow Cons: Script, Christian Bale, doesn't make sense, lots of bad action sequences, ripoff plot
I really wanted to see Batman begins. I'm a big Tim Burton fan, and I loved the first two batman movies. Batman Begins was supposed to be darker, like the first two batman movies, then the last two. It was also supposed to be the best Batman movie ...
Pros: Christopher Nolan's dark vision, all technical aspects, and the way it's taken seriously. Cons: Minuscule moments that were unintentionally funny.
Batman Begins gives us a central character that is tormented by fear and guilt. From the early moments in his life when he fell into a cave and was assaulted by bats, to the alleyway slaying of his parents, Bruce Wayne has devoted his life to vengeance ...
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 ...
Pros: several words to live by; great action; self-discovery Cons: way too many previews
"I'll have to get a car like that." Officer Gordon says this when he sees the very cool Batmobile - it just doesn't fit. Gordon is above that - or at least, he lives in Gotham, the largest city with the most stuff in the country, according to Liam ...
Pros: Great action, raw & gritty feel, and yes, the dark atmosphere is back. Cons: A little too raw, but it's worth it.
I won't say how I got to watch Batman Begins on DVD, but I really, really loved it, so much I had to review it in detail while I was watching it. Also the more I began to watch it, the more I realized that this isn't so much of a prequel as a new ...
Disillusioned billionaire orphan Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is taken out of an Asian prison by the dapper but mysterious Ducard (Liam Neeson), who wants the billionaire to forgo all the anger and hostility and train to become a member of the mysterious ...
Not since the days of the original Batman feature film adaptation back in 1989 have fans of the Cape Crusader experienced joy with the venerable franchise on the big screen. Burton’s follow-up to the perennial favorite entitled Batman Returns did ...
Pros: Realistic and complex characters, a brilliant look, great direction, and ingenious action sequences. Cons: At times, things move a little too fast and it becomes easy to get confused.
As soon as Adam West put on the cape and donned the pointy bat ears, it was all over. Well, maybe that's not fair; the Comics Code poisoned Batman first. But Batman's image as a dark, gothic vigilante prowling the moonlit streets and meting out justice ...
Pros: Faithful adaptation. Good story. Good acting. Real effects (not CGI). Cons: Action sequences hard to follow.
I must confess that I grew up as a fan of Batman comics. I collected them until shortly after college, and have very strong opinions on how Batman should be portrayed in film. However, I'm also a movie fan, and understand the necessary elements for a ...
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: Characterization of Batman, Direction, Christian Bale and Morgan Freeman Cons: Close up action sequences.
Introduction Batman has been one of the most popular comic strip series. For such a popular series the adaptations on the big and small screen have not done justice. The TV series was more of a comedy than a serious characterization of Batman. ...
It’s been sixteen years since Batman first graced the big screen, and the character’s legacy (in Hollywood, anyway) has been in a downward slide ever since. Tim Burton’s original vision of the Dark Knight and the world around him is arguably the greatest ...
Pros: Very dark and evil like batman should be. Cons: For those that are impatient, the story takes awhile to build.
I came into this movie EXPECTING it to be amazing. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. With a cast including Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, and Liam Neeson, the cast itself was poised to make the film without even the ...
Pros: Practically Everything Cons: Nothing, except for Katie Holmes maybe
In 1989, director Tim Burton gave us Batman, with Michael Keaton in the title role and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. The film was a huge hit and become that year’s top grossing film. Two years later, Burton came back ...
Pros: Costume, phenomenal cast, great story, cool setting, and great directing. Cons: Ugly bat mobile, some fighting sequences are just a mere blur, none.
This is only the beginning to perhaps another great superhero franchise based on the popular DC comic superhero—Batman. As I grew up, Batman was my favorite out of all the superheroes because he doesn’t have powers through mutated DNA but he just a ...
Pros: Everything about this movie was amazing... Cons: I wish it had gone on for hours.
If there was ever any doubt that Joel Schumacher ruined the "Batman" franchise, this film certainly puts those doubts to rest. Remember back, if you can, to the days when Batman was more than a glitzy, cornball comedic, as portrayed in both "Batman ...
Pros: good plot, excellent pacing Cons: typicall prequel screw ups
I like the rest had seen the previews and debated about it. Would the Batman movie series be gloriously reborn or would it crash in flames. Batman's last two outings Batman Forever and Batman and Robin where serious letdowns after the first two. It is ...
Pros: Nearly everything was perfecto this time around. Cons: They could have chosen an older and more experienced actress to play Wayne's love interest.
BATMAN BEGINS By Richard Chappell **** out of **** Cast: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy, Tom Wilkinson, Ken Watanabe and Morgan Freeman Directed by: Christopher Nolan Written by: Christopher ...
Pros: Appropriate visual style, a good story told by good and realistic characters Cons: A couple of mild plot holes, far too scary for children
Ok, there's really no polite way to say this: Joel Schumacher killed Batman. Hmm, that seemed too nice. How about this, Joel Schumacher defecated on Batman's grave. That's more like it. Yes, he turned a dark and brooding hero into Mr. Good-For-Kids ...
Pros: the darkness, Neason, Freeman, Caine, Oldman, Bale, Holmes is hot Cons: unmemorable soundtrack, slightly anti-climactic, not enough Scarecrow
Oh man, what can I say about this film? Let's just start by saying it completely revived my love of the Batman franchise. I honestly have to say that Batman is by far my favourite super-hero (closely contested by Spider-Man and Wolverine). I was never ...
Pros: Very atmospheric - explains Batman's beginning well! Cons: The plot is a little weak.
I never liked the original Batman series, and was somewhat disappointed by the original movies as they concentrated more on the ‘cartoon’ bad guys such as the Joker, rather than focusing on Batman, or the darker Batman that is very prevalent in the comic ...
Pros: Cast, visuals, storyline, music, return to a more accurate portrayal of Batman Cons: Katie Holmes, fight scenes, slightly confusing aspects of the plot
The Batman franchise wasn't exactly left dead by Joel Schumacher, but it was on life support and the family was fighting over the will. Who can blame people for hating what the series had become? Nippled batsuits and an actual "Freeze Ray" doomsday ...
I’ve loved almost every Batman movie that’s come down the pike. Being a fan of the comic for years, having grown up with it and the camp TV series, watching it change, reinvesting in it when my son was old enough, I’ve seen the caped crusader ...
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: Batman's back, believable in spite of the material. Cons: No complaints here.
I have to admit, when I first heard they were making a new Batman movie, I had to be a little weary. The first Batman movie, not counting the one with Adam West, was a very good movie, and I wore the VHS out when I was a kid. Batman Returns was dreary ...
Pros: Cillian Murphy's performance and the Scarecrow special effects Cons: Katie Holmes, the new Batmobile, Christian Bale's facial expressions
Let me begin by stating that I have been a fan and collector of comic books for as long as I've been able to read and one of my top ten favorite characters of all time is Batman. I hated the tripe that passed for a Batman movie in the 90's and I was ...
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: 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: Cast, visual effects, overall look of the film Cons: Some knowledge of the comics needed, subplots development, Caine wrong for his role,
Scarred for life by being the sole witness to the murder of his parents (Linus Roache and Sara Stewart), "Bruce Wayne" (Christian Bale) finds himself in a foreign prison. He tolerates cruel treatment to observe the ways of how the criminal mind works. ...
Pros: Explores Bruce Wayne's mind; answers the question "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" Cons: Inconsistent fight sequences; childish Batmobile scenes; Katie Holmes' character turned from confident to cowering.
If Bob Kane had indeed been rolling in his grave from the horrible Clooney/Schwarzenegger version, this restoration of the Dark Knight's story should allow Batman's original creator to finally rest in peace. Far from being the shallow, ...
Pros: Excellent script, direction, cast and production. Cons: The only casting misstep is Katie Holmes.
The strong script by David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan who also directed, paints the most complete picture yet of how Bruce Wayne turns his fear, guilt and anger inside out to create the Batman. Bruce creates Batman not only to fight criminals, ...
Pros: Strong cast and director. The depth of Bruce Wayne and Batman's character.
Fight Scenes! Cons: No chemistry between Christian and Katie. Batman/Bruce Wanye moving around swarming bats.
In director's Christopher Nolan's Batman, It is about a young Bruce Wayne whose phobia of Bats is brought out in the open, after an unfortunate night at the opera ( Featuring humans in bat costumes ), which causes such a panic in young Bruce, His parents ...
Pros: The movie gives a realistic view of the comic book character. Cons: The attempted romance between Bruce and Rachel goes nowhere.
Between 1989 to 1997 four Batman movies were released with three different actors (Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney) portraying the caped crusader. We were also treated to a slew of over the top villains including the Joker (Jack Nicholson), ...
Pros: Christian Bale, Bruce Wayne, Comic Plot, Casts, Acting, Childhood Flashback, New Beginning, Dialogue Cons: Action
The dark knight look like Batman with usual dark clothes Bruce Wayne played by Christian Bale bent his arms down on knee made a cover for this movie, "Batman Begins." He plays the dark hero who wanders how much he could become the stature of liberty ...
Pros: Better acting and direction than any blockbuster in recent memory Cons: Not for kids... or girls
Suddenly it's a good time to be a moviegoing fan of comic books again. After watching forlornly as Frank Miller's film career disintegrated amid the combined chaos of Robocops 2 and 3, it has been a source of considerable delight to see this master ...
Pros: Brilliant acting, directing, action, and story. Cons: Overtly grounded in reality
Action overwhelms the final act
A sense of euphoria swept over me as the title sequence opened for Batman Begins. The screech of thousands of bats began to swarm around the theater fading into the screen. Through this blurred image, I caught myself squinting. Did I just see the ...
I've always been a casual Batman fan at best. I liked the 60's TV show and the later films, but found the first two way too dark for my tastes. I had little desire to see this film until friends and family started raving about it. I decided to give it ...
Pros: definitive storyline of Bruce Wayne, cinematrics and fight scenes, psycho demeanor of Scarecrow, pre-renovated BATMOBILE. Cons: Katie Holmes, (why?) Bruce Wayne’s secrecy.
As a longtime Batman aficionado, I anxiously chewed my popcorn after fifteen minutes of useless previews to movies I would never see. Anticipating the return of the dark night and my all-time favorite superhero seemed like a means for the worst, what ...
I've always loved the Batman comics. The entire Batman mythos is so far beyond any other superhero. I respected the Tim Burton films a bit but they were a bit silly. That travesty with Val Kilmer and Jim Carey was shameful and then they mucked it up ...
Pros: Strong in plot and script, superb action scenes and great acting! Cons: none.
Not as Cartoonish as past batman movies, void of any influence from the old TV Series starring Adam West, What started out as a comic book character so long ago...has returned with a true essence of what Batman, and Bruce Wayne, are really all about. ...
Pros: good cast (believeable characters,) nice special effects... plus, doesn't everyone love a good super hero? Cons: The beginning can get a bit tedious. Some parts may be confusing.
I saw Batman Begins last night. It was, in some ways, a generic comic book super hero movie: 1) It helped to have my brother with me, who's read up on the comics and could remember all the character's names and just explain the semi-iffy spots. I ...
Pros: More true to the source material than any previous Batman movie. Cons: Katie Holmes.
I knew it would be good, but I am very happy to say it was VERY GOOD. In my opinion, it is the best Batman movie yet. My previous favorite of the bunch was Batman Returns. Christopher Nolan weaved a wonderful tale of a flawed hero, introducing the ...
Pros: Compelling story, characters we can empathize with, fun and exciting Cons: A few "duh" moments that make you think screnewriters are very very dumb?
Overall enjoyable but (spoiler follows) some of the same flaws that almost all Hollywood action movies seem to have: incredibly stupid parts that distract from the suspension of disbelief, predictable formulaic plot, and a been there, done that tedious ...
Pros: Fantastic story, brilliantly executed. Looking forward to the sequels. Cons: The Bat-voice seems a bit overdone.
Like most Batman fans, I was severely displeased by Batman + Robin's genital close-ups, Bat-nipples and ice-skates. I nearly stood and cried out "Mr. Freeze is a scientist, not a Schwarzennegger!" I was disheartened that not even Tommy Lee Jones ...
Pros: This is how batman should have been made from the start dark and grown up. Cons: none
Director – Christopher Nolan. Main Cast – Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman Liam Neeson as Ducard . Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth. Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawson . Cillian Murphy as Dr. Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow. Gary ...
Pros: Cast, special effects, action scenes Cons: The film constantly feels like it just started.
An interesting way to go about a franchise: instead of making a sequel or a prequel in typical fashion, restart the series even after the previous installments were successful. This is exactly what happens with Batman Begins. This movie has NOTHING to do ...
Pros: Attention to detail and story
Batman is taken seriously
Thoughtfully cast. Cons: Wish it was longer, but you have to end a film at some point.
A few hours ago, I left the movie theater, so satisfied. A huge thanks to the makers of Batman Begins! I'm writing this, bearing in mind that I don't want to spoil it for those that have not seen it. Batman fans will see it, so I don't have to ...
Pros: A Better Batman, The Cast, The Darkness needed Cons: Sometimes preachy and dragging.
It's time for the Resurrection of the Franchise, its time to breath in new Oxygen for DC comics, A Comic Superhero to movie making Genre which has been dominated by rival Marvel for a better part of more then half a decade and humbled them, Its time both ...
Pros: Great cast; New characters; All new gadgets for Batman; Bat suit and Bat mobile facelifts. Cons: None that I can think of.
Batman Begins is the 2005 version of the original Batman series. It has new characters, new plots, and puts a whole new spin on things. The original story IS in there though. Bruce Wayne is orphaned; and becomes owner of Wayne empire and a Gotham City ...
Pros: Christian Bale's acting, Michael Caine, explanations for criminals, Batcave, Batsuit, Batman's training. Cons: initial storyline, some acting, and the fact that it ends too early.
I have been an avid fan of Batman and his legacy since the initial Burton film. When the last movie came out (Batman and Robin), I thoroughly enjoyed it (although most critics would disagree with me), but I mentally closed the door on any other Batman ...
Wow. That sums up my first reaction to the opening scene alone. No frills, no tracing a big bat logo, no Danny Elfman music, just a huge ochestral hit with a bunch of bats going nuts. That short introduction almost sent me right over the edge of my ...
Pros: Nearly every element of this movie Cons: Katie Holmes= Weakest Link. She's OK, but not good.
I am glad that the batman franchise has returned with a vengace! Batman Begins is reborn as a darker, more psychologically involved movie than any of it's predecessors. Christian Bale fits the suit very well and the characters who surround him are ...
Pros: Was more true to the actual Batman comics; exciting; attractive actors; great talent pool. Cons: The ONLY "con": Katie Holmes and Cillian Murphy seem too YOUNG for their roles.
This is my VERY FIRST Epinions.com review, so please bear with me . . . . BATMAN BEGINS is by far the very best Batman movie -- ever. This is my opinion, of course -- and I'm sure others may disagree. But I have found that the more I watch it, the ...
Pros: Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan Cons: None that I can think of
Batman Begins is the way it should have began more than 15 years ago in its modern day motion picture birth. This is the dark knight that many of today's youths have grown accustomed to and have longed to see, diametrically opposed to the feel-good ...
Pros: The best Batman movie so far. Lots of amazing action scenes. Cons: some acting is bad, repetitive dialogue
I had heard so much about Batman Begins that I knew I needed to finally break down and watch this movie. One of the reasons that I had not seen this movie is that I suffered from a form of Batman burnout. I had enough of guys running around in costumes ...
Pros: Very entertaining, original, different from all the other batman movies Cons: Starts out kind of slow for some people
Batman Begins is by far one of the best films I've seen this year. They finally found a different way to tell an action hero's story. The story of Batman is very accurate and they managed to tell his story in a realistic way. All of his weapons, and ...
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: Stayed true to the comic
Looked good
Good plot
Cons: Setting changed too much
Ending little ridiculous
The movie is the best superhero movie in a long time. The movie starts a little slow a the begining but you almost have to explain the story line of batman. But once he is batman the story nor the action slow down at all. The movie kept my interest for ...
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 ...
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: A lot of action, cool effects, good acting. Cons: First 20 minutes lacking substance and stupid - NOT FOR SMALL CHILDREN. Dragged somewhat.
For those of you who haven't seen this movie, I don't want to say anything that might give it away. I'll try my best not to. However, do NOT take a young child to see this movie! My youngest child is 8 and found it a bit too scary. For reference, ...
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: Dark mood, explained background Cons: dot on theater screen, almost tried to be too serious
First let me say that I enjoyed this movie. I am a fan of the two older Tim Burton Batman movies (1 and 2) and I was afraid that I would not like this newest installment. The 3rd and 4th Batman movies were horrible and I was afraid that the industry was ...
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: Looks good. Half decent performaces. Creepy villain. Cons: Utterly boring! Depressingly toned. Drags on too long.
This movie started off well but became extremely boring when it got to about a third of the way in. It turned into a drag to watch and made me bored enough to sneak into another theatre to watch something else. Maybe I didn’t really like it because I wasn’t really a batman fan. However the performances by the actors in the film were half decent and the evil villain was quite creepy.
This one outdid them all! by bug_off_2 ,Jun 16 '05
Pros: Action filled, at times humorous, also touching. Cons: Jiggly action shots, and the theater had the volume up too loud.
Batman Begins was a very good movie. My husband is a complete Batman junkie--comic book reader/fanatic. But we BOTH enjoyed this movie--but I loved the other ones too. This one was a little more mature to me for some reason.
One thing I hate was the extreme close ups of action shots-you can't tell who's hitting who. Details are lost.
Go see it if you're not too cynical and are able to see it for what it is--fantasy. If you're expecting realism, go to a museum instead.
Probably the Best 'Superhero' Movie by riverrafter247 ,Jul 11 '05
Pros: Christian Bale; Michael Caine; Morgan Freeman; fantastic cinematography; exceptional pacing; Cillian Murphy Cons: Katie Holmes; Rutger Hauer as a parody of an evil
Can a movie about a comic book character make you actually forget its roots? When the movie is "Batman Begins",and the lead role is played by Christian Bale, the answer is a resounding "yes".
The movie takes Batman's background in an entirely new direction, one which explores how he got the training to be who he becomes (and the questionable morality related to that training). Bale doesn't get lost in the duality of his soul, as Michael Keaton did in "Batman Returns"; instead, he acknowledges that there is darkness in himself. What's important, he opines, is what "a person does with themself".
This movie is not overly dependent on gadgets. Initially, Bruce Wayne ventures out in a black outfit and black ski mask, and rappelling gear. Soon, however, he draws on his training and decides that he has to inspire fear as well as be efficient in his actions. Thus the Bat is born.
The only jarring note was Katie Holmes. Perhaps one day she'll mature, but for now, she acts like a 15 year old in a 25 year old body.
Pros: Great actors, great story, great special effect, bale rocks Cons: Not very realistic.
This is one of best batman movies. Bale, Neson, Caine and Katie Holmes makes great movie. So many stars this gotta be good movie and it is. My favorite actor in movie is Rutger Hauer. Effects are best and beginning of batman is very interesting.
Batman Begins brings us the best Bruce Wayne yet!!! It's a MUST see! by joblythe ,Jul 04 '05
Pros: Christian Bale and Michael Caine make a great team. It's dramatic and face paced! Cons: Katie Holmes is like a wet mop. Some scenes go on a little too long.
He may not be the best Batman (Michael Keaton still takes that title), but Christian Bale rocks this film. Katie Holmes brings nothing to the flick but a crooked smile and lack of energy.
It was enthralling from start to finish - even at almost 2.5 hours.
I strongly recommend this one to all you superhero-movie-lovers like myself.
Pros: Directing, Great story about Batman himself Cons: Not a big name villian
A great story to the first days of Bruce Wayne. It was a complete story from beginning to end. The only problem I had with the Batman movie of old with Michael Keton was that movie seemed more like the Joker story than the Batman story. This is the first time we see and go through the story about Batman and how he was trained. We have all seen the tragedy but not the training. The darker turn taken by the director to make this a more realistic story was absolutely perfect.
The first Batman blew away the campy 60s, 'Begins' thrusts into the ultra-dark 2000s by gibbo_ca ,Nov 02 '05
Pros: Sinister, brooding atmosphere, tight, smart plotting, solid performances, strong build to climax, emphasis on 'realism'. Cons: Katie Holmes feels lightweight and somewhat disposable in the company of the other heavy-hitters.
West & Ward camped it up for the 60s. Schumacher, Keaton, Clooney & Kilmer anatomically amped it up for the 90s. Now Nolan & Bale bury it in the terrorist nightmare of the 2000s.
This is not a prequel to the first four batman movies (unless you're talking strictly chronologically) - instead it is a wholesale re-imagining of the entire tapestry that this icon figure inhabits. Nolan strives foremost to attain a believable reality in which to allow Bale's teenage uber-misfit to explore the darkest corners of the human psyche, looking for meaning and finding vengeance instead.
It's easy to see this movie as a reflection of our collective reaction to 'world terror' - to fight fire with fire. Gone are the neon-lit batmobiles and drole one-liners, replaced by mass hysteria and re-sprayed Hum-Vee's on steroids.
In many ways this is the truest interpretation yet of both the original alienated persona from the comic books and the more recent gritty existentialism of the graphic novels.
All in all a fantastic must-see movie that took a wallowing franchise and turned it into a lean-mean scalpel that cuts to the heart of the world we see around us.
Batman Begins...GREAT: He's truly the Dark Knight in this one by warlock2004 ,Jun 18 '05
Pros: Bale! Script! beautiful, flowing story. Superb acting all around. Editing was top-notched. Wonderfully produced. Cons: Camera too close to the fighting scenes. Blurred the images. Made action difficult to follow.
This may very well be THE BEST SUPERHERO movie ever made. The script - and Christian Bale - captured the "Dark" of the Dark Knight magnificently. Every aspect of the story told a small story onto itself; this was no cheap pop corn flick. This is the Batman that I grew up reading about; sinister and brooding, not flashy and empty like the last three Batman movies (remember Jim Carey and Arnold).The acting was among the best I had ever seen for a summer movie.
I also liked the way the movie went about setting up the potential villains for the follow-up movie, in the final scene. Way to go NOlan!
Batman Should not have Begun by microbrew22 ,Dec 25 '05
Pros: Non Cons: Everything
This movie was so slow that I thought it was in real time!! The first 40 minutes deals with how he became Batman...go pick a blue flower and climb a mountain, then get you butt kicked by Liam Nielson...?? Next we find out that his parents were murdered by a man in a dark alley...wow I never knew that!!! I fell asleep after the first 55 minutes to find out that there was still an hour to go. Don't waste your time on this yawner...I'm gettin' sleepy just thinking about it!!
An Excellent, Fresh New Beginning by jeadm ,Jun 29 '05
Pros: Refreshingly redone, strong performances, excellent storyline. Cons: None, other than smaller children may not appreciate the modern Batman (yet).
Batman Begins learns the lessons of the past "Batman" movies, as well as those from the newer generation of superheroes to hit the big screen.
This is a very well done movie, a concept that starts the franchise anew from scratch, and Batman is better for it! Performances are excellent, the mood appropriately dark but not excessively so. There's a tendency to criticize Hollywood for not doing anything original, but if they remade other staples as well as this one, we wouldn't care! You will enjoy this movie.
My seven year old son was excited when we told him we were going to see Batman Begins. I was not, and was dreading yet another caped crusade.
However, half way through this movie i was excited, this was original and not filled with the usual Hollywood schemas. The mood was dark and sultry, the action complemented the story line. I felt involved, and committed to Bruce's journey. My son, however, had fallen asleep.
Bruce's return to Gotham, marked a dramatic change in the movie, Hollywood was back. Along came the quips and witty side remarks. The hero was forming, and so was his ego. The action kept coming, and the improbable scenarios developed, to the final pitiful crescendo set against a Virtual Chicago Skyline.
Batman Begins: Truly The Best One Yet by marc26 ,Sep 04 '05
Pros: Great movie that's not afraid to restrict itself. Cons: Not impreseed with the villian in a flick that's to long.
When Warner Brothers decided to bring Batman back to the big screen, everyone prayed that it wouldn't be the fiasco that was Batman and Robin. Skip ahead to a few months later and we are told that it's going to be based on Batman: Year One, everyone applauded and cheered. Why? because the comic was written by Frank Miller, a genius in the comic world.
Of course that meant going back to his dark roots which of course they did. What you get from that, is a beautifel, dark, gritty, Gotham City filled with crime and criminals which of course you would expect when Bruce Wayne has been gone for ten years.
Of course, for the first hour of the movie, it doesn't even feel like your even watching a Batman because bale (wonderfully cast), doesn't don the cape and cowl for the first hour.
Pros: action scenes, the plot and the acting Cons: It was a bit dull at first
It was quite the movie to watch. The plot was a tad bit lame at first, but in the end I can truly say that I enjoyed watching the entire movie. The action scenes, the acting, and the overall plot was good. Its no wonder its number one at the box office.
Pros: Answered many questions as a Batman fan. Cons: May be slow at points to children.
I debated on whether or not to see this movie because I am burnt out on all the different Batman Movies in recent years from Keaton to Kilmer. I am glad I saw this movie because it answered many questions I did not even know to ask like what did Batman chose Bats as his symbol, where did he learn all those superhuman moves, where the Batmobile came from, and many more?
I took my 9 year old son to this movie. He enjoyed most of it. Some good conversation about values and morals can be brought about after seeing this movie with a child.
defecates on all other batmans from a great height by illiya12 ,Jul 13 '05
Pros: MORGAN FREEMAN, LIAM NEESON. Original weapons. Fast pace Cons: some developments slightly implausible
I have never been a huge batman fan but have watched all of them at some point or another, usually because of my brother. My friend tricked me into seeing this film but now i am glad that he is so sly. From the actors, to the graphics, to the gadgets, to the plot - i was more than impressed. Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson - superb bonus, two of my favourite actors whose reputation i was afraid would be soiled by taking part in yet another tacky, even if entertaining, episode of batman but that was not to be the case. Definitely recommended even if you have hated all of the other batmans.
I can't figure out why people keep giving this movie a good review. Are we that blinded by special effects and cool gadgets that we are willing to overlook things like acting and plot?
I see the movie got almost top ratings on this site. On Flixster, I gave it a 2/5, but people in my buddy group gave it a 4/5 and overall it got 4.5/5. Here again, why? I see that I am in the minority, but I want the characters introduced in the plot to actually have a purpose and maybe some... What do you call it... Acting.
Wow, is this really Batman?!!? by cylina ,Dec 29 '05
Pros: Action packed, story driven. Cons: A bit too long
What a movie! I am a simple girl with simple tastes and this movie wowed me. I expected the same old same old with the Batman series but this one was different than the rest. Even those that are not a fan of Batman would like this one, action packed and more story line driven that the silliness usually employed by Batman.
My kids loved it, parents loved it, and best of all my husband really liked it too!
The latest installment to the batman saga shows where batman comes from, how he became batman, and why he chose the bat. looking at one of the last scene, It would seem that they are going to completely reinvent the franchise. In my opinion Christian Bale is the best Batman yet and he is the second to be asked to play the dark knight twice. Cristopher Nolan even adds the darkest appearance to the franchise since Tim Burton. All in all i give two thumbs up.
The Best Batman movie to date!! by spcasey ,Jul 07 '05
Pros: Great acting, and plot twists. Cons: Leaves you wanting more from the rest of the Batman movies!
This Batman has far topped the past ones! The Scarecrow as the main villan was a great twist. The previews never really showed who or what the villan was going to be and I was pleasantly surprised to see this. Katie Holmes was also a good female co-star for this movie compared to the corny blondes of the past. This gave good insight as to where Commishener Gordon came from and showed how him and Batman/Bruce Wayne became teammates. This movie was filled with good acting and antagonizing suspense. Previous Batman movies have been poorly written and carried out. This one made me a Batman fan again!! Plus, I got in free!!
Pros: Setting Cons: Story line leading up to old Batman movies
I personally did not like this movie. One thing that really bothered me about this movie was the fact that Bruce Wayne had to go to another country to figure out who he was and then he acquired numerous martial arts skills. From watching the previous Batman movies, I figured that he fell down a hole, a bat scared him, and disguised himself as a bat to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. It just didn't make sense to me that he would go through a whole heap of adventures just to figure out who he was.
This is one batman movie I've seen that's very boring! The reception of the movie is so dim and Katie Holmes's acting is very dull. She's not effective for the role. In fairness, the effects used are believable and have really convinced the audience on how Batman really begins and evolved as a legendary superhero.
Batman Begins Rocks out loud by markwslay ,Jul 18 '05
Pros: Christian Bale,morgan freeman and the batmobile make this movie Cons: not enough buttkicking action scenes
I saw this movie in georgia at an imax theater.The overall quality of it was outstanding Christian Bale was a great choice to play bruce wayne/ batman and the batmobile made me wish i had one of my own it was in my opinion the best batman movie of all times tobad they didnt have a batjet
Pros: Storyline, special effects, lots of action, the Batmobile. Cons: Slight difference in one part of the movie
I really enjoyed this movie. This one is the best yet since the first Batman. Special effects were great. Storyline was great. I was a little dissapointed that a couple of the flashback moments differed from how they showed it in the first Batman movie but that was ok. Overall it was great!
I was brought upon it by my friends to watch this film, Batman Begins. Since I haven't seen a batman film in years from being turned off by others, I wasn't so exited to watch it.
This movie was extremely good!! I loved the dark settings, and of course as everyone else knows it, the card in the end :)
I also enjoyed seeing more famous people playing the smaller roles. I loved this performance.
Pros: Christian Bale,Morgan Freeman,and the bat mobile make this movie Cons: Not enough Butt stomp action scenes
I went to Georgia and saw this movie it was great Christian Bale was a great pick for Bruce Wayne/Batman the soundtrack was also great in my Opinion this is the best batman movie of all times
