BATMAN BEGINS

i think this movie is the BEST BATMAN FILM YET! i haven't
been this excited about a movie since THE MATRIX. i'm going
to see this at least 3 more times.

That's, like, almost a review or something.

I think I may be almost titillated!

I'm dying to see it. I've only seen Christian Bale in
American Psycho, but I think he's first rate- And
definitely not in a latently-homosexual way

when The Matrix came out, i was 15 years old. now i'm 21,
and Batman Begins is doing what The Matrix did.

so obviously Batman Begins is much more mature film than The
Matrix.

I like the fact that the batmobile was "made in England".
The Americans all said it can't be done, you can't make a
batmobile from scratch (they wanted to just add pieces of
cardboard to sum monolithe of a car). Of course here in
Britain we actually give things a go and make high quality
items.

I've re-read Miller's Year One and The Dark Knight Returns
so I'm so psyched for this movie. Also read that piece of
crap The Dark Knight Strikes Again for the first time.

Has anyone torrented any good copies of it yet? I'm broke.

It has nothing to do with the other Batman movies and their
''continuity''. Total reboot of the franchise, which is a
brilliant move. Lots of potential and great stories left in
the Batman mythos for future sequels like this. Schumacher
took Burton and Miller's vision and fucked it up.

i liked tim burtons batman. i hated the rediculous spin offs
from them. i love how they hype up the same old shit we've
pretty much seen before. when i watched the trailer the
only real difffernce aside fromt he actors and places was
that bruce wayne's training sequences. so is this a remake?
is this a new story? since we already know batmans origin
do they go through it again? why bother when we've already
seen it before. its like making spiderman over again and
calling it spiderman reborn. rediculous. its a pretty safe
bet to assume that batman will make a lot of money. spit out
a couple other movies, then the rolls will change and it
will get shitty again, and then be released again later on.
same shit over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over again.

i haven't seen it yet, but i have some serious doubts about
bale playing batman.
bale seems to be too good at playing the mentally disturbed
psychopaths (american psycho and the mechanic). bale as
batman automatically implies mr wayne to be one of those
too....and i don't want MY batman to be one of those!!!

Basically. He's not too much lower on the Insanity Totem
Pole than the people he's beating up.

I expect Bale pulled it off, he's got skills. I don't expect
he'll make me forget Michael Keaton, though.

He can bust into the office when they are about to run short
of a deadline, and make sure all the photocopies and faxes
and data entry are done. Then leave without so much as a
thank you from the staff.

Well I saw it finally. Expectations met, very true to the
spirit and mythology of the graphic novels that inspired,
and that's all they needed to do. The source material was
nearly perfect to begin with.

I didn't like the art style as much as Tim Burton's movies,
and I definitely didn't like the Batmobile, but it's still a
gorgeous movie and Bale was Bat-tastic. Katie Holmes was the
only thing in this movie that was subpar.

Wonder who they'll get for the inevitable sequel,
villain-wise... Clayface? I'd want to see Two-Face back,
he'd fit in to this style. Tommy Lee Jones's Two-Face in
Batman Forever was an absolutely pathetic render of that
character.

i liked it alot, especially the story ruled mucho

i wasnt too impressed with the overall atmosphere though, it
was just dark like ive seen so much before, the jokes were
lousy for instance. also there might be way to much that's
explained, like the escaped lunatics are prolly meant as all
the future villians and stuff, i dont want it to be so
realistically correct. therefor i still like the first
batman better

Haha, yeah, some of the one liners were goofy.

''Nice coat''
''Thanks''

??!

Gotham was a bit bland compared to Burton's vision, and the
villains didn't have time to really make the same kind of
impression Jack Nicholson did. But they did cram a lot of
stuff in here, I knew that was going to happen. So I wasn't
disapointed.

well that was one of the better ones (it was his coat)
the villian characteres played a very small part this time,
xept ras na gull but he was way more normal then the
villians we're used too, it's before all the madness is the
point i guess

Well Ras in the comics is an amazing character, not
''normal'' at all. Cool powers and a very complex guy, this
movie didn't do the real Ras Al Gul justice at all. Not that
you ever could in a 2 hour flick, so whatever.

And actually I guess I should have said up there that we
already know who the villains in the next film are going to
be, _____ and ______. But beyond the obvious, I'd like to
see Two Face done right. Because... the villain alluded to
in Batman Begins, was, uh, already done right.

I think the Animated Series is the best version of Batman
ever, outside of the comics, better than the movies. They
did a pretty decent job with Ras and an awesome version of
Two Face.

I just saw got back from the theater after seeing this
movie. It was ok. I really like the special effects, they
were fantastic.

Gothem City looks fantastic!

There were a lot of cheap parts, lines etc etc.

It was ok I guess. I thought the part where Batman is
talking to Scarecrow (just after spraying him in the face
with tha fear dust)
was really really cool. Scarecrow is all tripping out and
looks like fucking cracked out. That was cool!

It's worth seeing, it was ok.

This batman film will age much much faster then the Tim
Burton ones I am sure. Lot's of really really cheesy parts.

i enjoyed some bits but was mostly bored.
