Batman Begins

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 ...
