The best Batman film ever!It Breaks Things (10 out of 10 )
Ohhhh yeah. Script is good, movie is better. It restored my faith in the canon. And by doing so, it made the world a better place. Ten stars, simply because it is One Of The Best Batman movies. And everybody loves Batman. Even without the nipples. Especially without the nipples.Jose (10 out of 10 )
I believe that this one of the best Batman movies ever made. You want to know what made it really good? Katie Holmes!Alan (10 out of 10 )
Finally Batman is taken seriously.
My hope is that now that the powers at be can see that Frank Miller's comics were Batman at his best, we stand a chance of one day seeing his greatest Batman story: "The Dark Knight Returns" on the silver screen.DarthRay (5 out of 10 )
The one big weakness of this script is a lack of strong villains. Ra's Al Ghul is good but he doesn't appear enough. Also his surprise reappearance is not very shocking. The Scarecrow is given a big injustice. He shows no fighting skills and is easily beaten two times, once by getting hit with a taser-equipped Katie Holmes (although it was kind of funny). Also, this film tries too hard to be profound and psychological. As a result we get a typical martial arts movie.Marcin (9 out of 10 )
Best comic book movie of all time.Dallas (10 out of 10 )
I've seen this movie and played the game as well.Kaorii (8 out of 10 )
I was really looking forward to it, then I saw it and I LOVE Christian Bale! He has THE best Batman voice ever. But 3 things: Katie Holmes is really annoying, Scarecrow isn't scary and Katie Holmes shoots Scarecrow with a tazar gun and then he dies which I found very wimpish of him. But overall, the Batman in this movie was GREAT! I can't wait for the next movie!Maggie (10 out of 10 )
This movie is no doubt the best Marvel movie! It was amazing and I love Cillian Murphy. He plays the best bad guy! Christian Bale was also awesome.Carey L. Hall (9 out of 10 )
I believe the next one will be better. The story has been told. Now on to some serious crime fighting.botany (10 out of 10 )
Best movie ever, even though the ending was cheap.I'm not telling you! (10 out of 10 )
I think the movie had one flaw: The Wayne's murderer is supposed to become the Joker. That's how the comics went, that's how this should be.Kate (10 out of 10 )
Christian Bale was perfect for the role and the movie was one of the best I've seen. I was genuinely suprised; I definitely wasn't expecting such a fantastic action movie due to all the crap they shoot at us nowadays. One of the things that makes Batman Begins so good is because the director minimalizes the use of CGI and implements more stage effects instead of green screen. Everybody should go see this movie. The only thing I didn't like was Katie Holmes, but the pure AWESOMENESS of this movie makes up for her lackluster performance.Cyberpunk2077 (9 out of 10 )
Batman Begins can be easily summed up in three words. See it now! This film was an absolute pleasure to watch. There was a surplus of talent behind and in front of the screen. Christopher Nolan directed this film with such respect for the character and comic it is based on, that it brought a tear of joy to my eye. Finally a director that gets it right, Chris treated this film as a serious piece of work and not some kind of comedic satire as did Joel Schumacher. The story was brilliantly written by David S Goyer who also co-wrote the screenplay with Nolan, thus redeeming himself after Blade Trinity in my book. Christian Bale's performance was nothing short of phenomenal. Although I must admit I have been a long time fan of Bale and when I first heard that he would be taking the role of the Dark Knight under the direction of Nolan, I knew we had a winner here. Bale not only exceeded in making this character believable, he looked good doing it too. Cillian Murphy known for his performance in 28 Days Later played Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA Scarecrow. All I can say is The Academy of Arts and Sciences really need to create a new category called "Achievement in Casting", nominate and announce the winners John Papsidera & Lucinda Syson (the casting directors of BB) in the next Oscars. Trust me they deserve it. This film possibly has the best casting choices of any film I have ever seen in my life. (Take some notes Bryan Singer & Mark Steven Johnson!) That being said Cillian Murphy floored me with his portrayal of Dr. Crane in the film. Michael Caine's portrayal of Alfred was inspiring and emotionally accurate. The role of Sergeant Gordon was played by one of the best character actors alive today, Gary Oldman. The funny thing about this casting choice was even though he did a wonderful job as always, I'm so used to Oldman playing such outlandish and villainous roles that I kept expecting Gordon to do something oddly out of character. Needless to say it didn't happen. Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, and Ken Watanabe were all incredible as I expected. Katie Holmes was a pleasure to watch in her portrayal of Rachel Dawes, the assistant district attorney. You'd be hard pressed to find one bad acting job in this movie. I have one and only one problem with this film. And that would be the cinematography during the fight scenes. It's the usual "cameraman in an earthquake" editing much like in the movie Daredevil. This is a pet peeve of mine that I can't overlook. Perfect examples of how cinematography should be done during fight sequences are in such films as Blade 1, the Matrix Trilogy and most of the more realistic Kung Fu films from our filmmaker friends far east. Other than that Batman Begins was the kind of film most Caped Crusader fans until now could only dream about. Final Recommendation: Didn't you hear me say go see it now!blackman (9 out of 10 )
I love this movie but I wish the fight scenes were clearer.Jonathan (10 out of 10 )
This movie was great, but I couldn't help but read some of the post that were just INCORRECT, although I know most are just YOUR opinions and I respect that, but some went WAY off. For instance, Kaorii, Scarecrow DOESN'T die in the end, he simply rides away hurt by the tazor gun. Maggie, this is a DC Comics movie, not Marvel. I'm Not Telling You!, The comics say Joe Chill murdered Wayne's parents, Tim Burton who directed Batman 1989, put the Joker as the killer so that Batman would have a reason to hate Joker. Cyberpunk2077 and blackman, the fight scenes aren't clear because Nolan wanted the audience to see what it's like to fight the Dark Knight, quick. Also what it's like to fight someone, when someone is punching you all you see are flashes. Overall this movie is great, can't wait for its sequel.Chowmit (10 out of 10 )
Incredible script! Props to David Goyer. He has such an imagination and I guess Christopher Nolan used every bit for his movie - and I can't blame him. It's amazing.prodigalNIKON (10 out of 10 )
THANK YOU JONATHAN. No offense people, but I hate to see so many people write as though stating facts, when they are completely incorrect. Chief among these were the Marvel Comics comment (and for the record, I really like some of the marvel Comics movies so far, but that doesn't exactly apply here), the comment about Joker killing Bruce's parents, and the Scarecrow dieing. Anyway, I thought this was a VERY spectacular movie. I don't know about better than Tim Burton's original Batman, its hard to judge two such completely different styles. Tim Burton definitely went the route of the mysterious, subdued-fear Batman; EXAMPLE- when Michael Keaton is scrapping with a couple of muggers only to stop and say at barely above a whisper, "I'm Batman," it just sends chills down your spine. Unfortunately for him, they weren't able to solve the problem of wearing 50 lbs of not-particularly-flexible-rubber, something that's not the easiest to move and fight in. And that's one of the wonderful things of Batman Begins. They not only pulled a an amazing actor capable of not only portraying the dual characters of Batman/Bruce Wayne, but costume designers gave him something he could really strut his stuff in. And don't get me started on the rest of the cast-- AMAZING. I continue to fall in love with Michael Cain's roles, his portrayal of Alfred was very moving. Cillian Murphy was creepy in the most wonderful way, and will hopefully return in some sequal eventually. Morgan Freeman as Fox was more than a pleasant surprise, a small role I definitely loved to death. And it was very interesting to see Liam Neesan put his 'mentoring' role (which is almost expected of him on screen, it seems) to the Villianous side. Its not too often you see a Villian you really feel for. And as always Gard Oldman shines, easily one of my personal favorite actors of all time. All in all, you're sadly missing out if you've missed this flim.Ashok (9 out of 10 )
Finally, Christopher Nolan breathes life to a character which personifies the tormented hero. The script is beautifully pieced together with more emphasis on the basics instead of ridiculously insane stunts. Not only that, we are able to believe for once that such a man can actually exist amongst ourselves. The Movie boasts an impressive star cast, traditional stunts (Mr Nolan uses minimum CG),a solid script giving birth to a host of cheesy one liners. Bale is fantastic in playing the vigilante as well the "playboy". Cillian Murphy plays his role to perfection. Caine, Oldman, Freeman and Neeson are excellent. Looking forward to see The Dark Knight.Joseph Kerr (8 out of 10 )
I liked this movie because of the fantastic script by David Goyer but I feel Chris Nolan's directing style, although good, wasn't what a Batman film should be at this time. I feel Tim Burton's darker, mysterious style was far better for a Batman film and felt his two were better than this one purely on style but not on script quality. That said, anything is better than the painful 5 odd hours of Batman and Robin and Batman Forever done by Joel Schumacher. Disgrace to Batman those films were! Also I myself am a screenwriter and was talking with Michael Ulsan two weeks ago and he offered me the job of Co-Writer in the next Batman film alongside Chris Nolan who will again be directing. We have thought of a title but nothing else yet! Some of you guys wont believe me because you wont have heard of me yet! But trust me, and if you want any clues on the next Batman film, We think the villain is going to be Two-Face (Harvey Dent).maggie (10 out of 10 )
I really enjoyed this movie so much. I am a huge batman fan and always will be. Christian Bale was great as usual and Liam Neeson wow. My favorite part was probably at the end where Gordon reveals to batman that there's another villain on the move, then batman take the card and it's the joker. That gave me chills just watching it. I saw the Dark Knight 2 times and it was out of this world non stop action. Heath Ledger I tip my hat off to you. He was AMAZING, you'll always be in our hearts.Mark S (9 out of 10 )
I went to see Batman Begins with only on the strength of Christopher Nolan, he really hasn't made a bad movie, the direction is always strong & he is a terrific screenwriter. As always Mr. Nolan doesn't disappoint at all. The shooting script is leaps & bounds over this one, but that's not to say this isn't worth a solid 9.TeRina (5 out of 10 )
I didn't think it was that great. Christian Bale is a good actor but his voice for the Batman is quite annoying and it kind of gives him a bit of a lisp. Katie Holmes was really bad - no offense- so she didn't really send any vibes. Cillian Murphy was alright but he's not really the ideal bad guy, hes just in my view one of the extras. Joker which is coming up though, is Batman's main rival and is one of those people that you cant forget - hes that psycho! Everyone else did a pretty good job and Micheal Cain does a fantastic Alfred, so I give him a big thumbs up.Hanzo Barren (10 out of 10 )
Unlike the previous Batman films, Begins brings more life and realism, reviving an American Icon and giving him more standards. The characters are real, not mediocre and cartoonish. Oh, and for the record, it is not Marvel, it's DC, get it right.Micheal Johnston (8 out of 10 )
ImNotTellingYou~ Actually in the comic books, Joe Chill is the murderer of Bruce's parents. The Tim Burton film was the first time that the mythology of the Batman was changed to introduce that Jack Napier aka the Joker killed Thomas and Martha Wayne. Personally, I loved the mythology changes in this version of the Batman legend.Michelle (10 out of 10 )
Great movie. Christian Bale is a good Batman AND Bruce Wayne which is hard to come by. Katie Holmes is a disaster area and needs to be deleted from the movie. The villains were lacking, but it was fine. I mean, it's only the beginning of Batman. He can't have fifty villains all at once! Michael Caine does a fantastic job and his acting skills couldn't be better. Did I mention that Katie Holmes can't act and is terrible?Masked hero (10 out of 10 )
Easily one of the greatest DC comics to hit the big screen. Christian Bale gave a very memorable performance and the whole overall vibe of Batman and why he became Batman was very incredible. The Batman film franchise has been phenomenal thanks to Christopher Nolan and the great cast and crew. The Dark Knight was also a true masterpiece. Although I'm positive most people know that by now.
