Movie Review

Wow. Amazing. Simply amazing. This is the movie comic book fans have been waiting for, a film that treats itself like a real movie and not just a summer blockbuster. While there is plenty of action, the movie takes its time developing its characters, culminating in an exciting and well-driven story. Full movie review »

Best Batman movie I ever seen, Christian Bale totally gets the part right. The story was steady and interesting. I was gripped with every scene.

That was the working title of Batman Begins. I've seen the movie and I like it. It wasn't so deep and detailed as Nolan suggested, though. All in all, it's worth watching and probably one of the best after the times of Schumacher and his neo-metrosexual batmans.
the acing is great with Bale as the unquestionable master of darkness,;o). I just wish the ending wasn's so action-packed blockbuster like. However, I can only thank for bringing back one of the best series into dark life again...

This is something I thought would never happen: a Batman movie that is not only extremely good, but also is true to the original comic book character. Much of what happens here was lifted right out of Batman's first appearances in Detective Comics (there was no Robin then, either)and it has been adapted with great care, respect, and skill. Finally, a reason for Bob Kane to stop rolling over in his grave. I'm sorry, but Joel Schumacher's AND Tim Burton's takes on Batman were awful, although for different reasons; that first Burton movie is a narrative train wreck, nowhere near good enough - nor professional enough - to be called a "sequel" to Batman Begins. Our best hope is that this cast and crew can be re-assembled for a 2nd movie.

i too think it was an awesome movie...they actually already had a Batman "sequel" with the Joker many years ago...the "first" batman movie in 1989 with Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson...
