Batman Begins

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 ...

Pros: Plot
Cons: Length

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. ...
