I had been waiting to see this movie for a while and glad to say it wasn't a disappointment. The storyline was very good and flowed smoothly. It wasn't all over the place. One thing I really enjoyed about Batman Begins is that it didn't have too much of a comic book look to it but still managed to retain that dark/gloomy feel of the original Batman movie. It does a good job at portraying Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman and why it happened. For the longest time I was like, so who's the bad guy in this movie? When you do find out, it's one of those times you say, "ohhh, I should have known!" :)
You just can't go wrong with a stellar cast like this. I was surprised to see so many big names. Christian Bale does good job at playing Batman, as did Michael Keaton. Only complaint is the directing could have been better. I felt that the camera angles switched too quickly during the action scenes. Overall I give this movie a BIG  |

| I hear the movie is indeed quite good, but I just cannot get over how stupid the new Batmobile is. I can't even look at it without cringing. It's ridiculous. It's nothing like a Batmobile should be. :( |

| dood.. the new batmobile or whatever the it is, is sooo cool. I like it way more than the cheesy batmobile. You gotta see it in action before you make up your mind. :) |

lol, I know. Everything about the movie looks really good EXCEPT that. I guess they were trying to make everything more believable. Looks like a cheap 70s sci-fi toy. |

Saw the movie last night and I think the movie lived up to its hype. As mentioned the movie does a good job in developing Bruce Wayne's character from when he was a kid to his transformation into Batman. The plot line was good and the action sequences were well done especially during his training sessions. As for the tank of a batmobile all I can say is I want one of those. That tore up the streets of Gotham like there was no tomorrow, barrelling down freeways, stomping police cruisers, smashing through concrete barriers and even "flying". Finally at last a Batman movie that is comparable to the first one and not sooo much "Tiesto."

There was a point even in the 60's comic series that Batman was a very dark and mysterious character, and the comic book was very gritty. The Joker was also portrayed as a very violent and malicious character. Batman had many different faces throughout his lifetime, some very dark and villainous, and others, very lighthearted and comical, like the one that Adam West played on the TV show.
This movie COMPLETELY blew every other Batman movie out of the water. Many batman fans were skeptical as to whether or not this would top the first one directed by Tim Burton, AND IT DID! I haven't seen an action movie like this in a long time. Christopher Nolan took the small margin of mystery and ominous darkness that Tim Burton failed to illustrate in the first one, and ran with it and completely personified it in the new Batman, played by Christian Bale. The entire cast was great. I was particularly pleased with Michael Caine playing Alfred.
Apparently this movie is also supposed to be a new start to the franchise, completely negating the previous 4 films. A sequel is already being talked about.

Ive seen them with the new "batmobile" outside the chum building, and there was a group of reporters and a couple police waiting for their turn to get a picture of them inside it. They then took it for a spin around toronto surrounded by the cops. |

I was looking forwars to this movie for quite some time. After seeing it just a few days ago at the special 12:01am showing....I was very disappointed. :wtf: Maybe the hype ruined it for me...I don't know. The cast was great.....the atmosphere in the movie was well done...but it just didn't do it for me. Bale is a great actor, I just think he doesn't suit the Batman role.
Oh well I also went to see Cinderella Man this week.....now that's an amazing movie. :thepirate |

Right on man :) I seen the movie yesterday and I can trully say that this is 1 of the best action movie's I've seen in a while (other than the Bourne series). The storyline was smooth, ecstatic & dynamic. I'm glad Christian Bale played the new Batman, he's the perfect actor for it. I strongly agree on the comment of this Batman beating out all other one's. I hope that the next Batman will be just as gloomy & ridiculously dark :D
I don't know what you folks are talking about with the new Batmobile. I don't even think it's called a Batmobile anymore. It's a flying tank lol Whatever it is, it is sick! |
