Great Story Finally Told
by dd3james ,Jul 07 '05
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.

Why the good reviews?
by wyndman ,Aug 02 '05
Pros: Fun bat gadgets
Cons: Everything else.
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!

Batman is only beginning
by hardcorecoop ,Jul 01 '05
Pros: Bale, Nolan, Oldman, Caine, Freeman, Holmes, and Neeson
Cons: none
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!!

Batman Begins 101
by immature_romeo ,Aug 04 '06
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.

A boring film
by jinkson ,Aug 07 '06
Pros: n/a
Cons: n/a
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.

Excellent Movie!
by calico79 ,Oct 28 '05
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!

Wow
by turbotal ,Jun 19 '05
Pros: cast, setting, villain, title
Cons: no cons
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.
