A Superior Super-Hero film
I have never truely been impressed with any super hero movie prior to this one. From the Hulk, to Spiderman one and two, almost all such movies fail to develop deep, realistic characters, and even a belivable plot line involving coherent motives, causes and effects, and goodguy/badguy relationships. Batman Begins, however, achieves many goals that so many other films of the same genre have failed to set or reach. The character of almost all characters is very developed, and believable. The viewer can understand why the character behave the way they do. The plot is quite good, though it looses momentum in the last third of the movie, ironically, when the action really picks up. The acting is the best I've ever seen in a super hero movie, and Christian Bale does a superb job as Batman.Lire l'avis complet...
*~* BATMAN Begins: Good Movie after Watching Again *~*
We give Batman Begins a Rating of Good. We were not sure if we would like it or not but we ran out and bought it when it came out. At that time, we lost interests at the beginning, and never really watched it. So.. we watched it again recently(Jan 09) after watching The Dark Knight, and enjoyed it much more. If you see The Dark Knight, you should really watch Batman Begins. It explains a lot.
We're not big Batman fans, but now that we have seen it "again", we're PLEASED! You have to watch the WHOLE movie to get the full effect, as the beginning is somewhat on the boring side, with no action and no suspense. The action and suspense kicks in about halfway through and lasts throughout the rest of the movie.
If you see The Dark Knight, you really should see Batman Begins. It shows exactly that, how Batman began.
A lot of the acting cast is the same cast in The Dark Knight.
Good Movie!
Our Overall Rating: B-
Rent It or Buy It? Rent It first. If you already own The Dark Knight, Buy It!

Batman
I really liked the Movie for the most part. I am a big fan of the Silver age Comics from DC. My favorites include Aquaman, Superman, Batman and Robin. While this movie is a little dark (well Batman is called the Dark KNight), I did find the movie enjoyable. I liked how well it showed how Batman's career started. The one thing I missed was seeing Robin in action with Batman, but I remember that Batman started before Robin came along. The Villian was done excellently and keeps you guessing through the movie. And I like how Batman has kind of the same code as Superman where he does not kill, but he also shows he can be selctive by saying he does not have to save everyone either. Good movie.Lire l'avis complet...
Batman Begins...
Being a childhood fan of Batman, in those days, there was Batman and Robin, so I waited and waited until a decent Batman film was made. After watching 'Batman - The Dark Knight' and being totally taken a back by the complete mastery of this film, (I found this film to be leagues apart from any other Batman films produced to date) I simply had to buy the orignal and since it had been so long since I saw Batman Begins, I needed to watch it to get the full picture.
This film was also fantastic, not as good as the 'Dark Knight' but well worth having as part of any film collection!Lire l'avis complet...
Batman Rocks Again!
'Batman Begins" at last penetrates to the dark and troubled depths of the Batman legend, creating a superhero who, if not plausible, is at least persuasive as a man driven to dress like a bat and become a vigilante. The movie doesn't simply supply Batman's beginnings in the tradition of a comic book origin story, but explores the tortured path that led Bruce Wayne from a parentless childhood to a friendless adult existence. The movie is not realistic, because how could it be, but it acts as if it is.
Opening in a prison camp in an unnamed nation, "Batman Begins" shows Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) enduring brutal treatment as a prisoner, as part of his research into the nature of evil. He is rescued by the mysterious Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson), who appoints himself Wayne's mentor, teaches him sword-fighting and mind control, and tries to enlist him in his amoral League of Shadows ("We burned London to the ground").
When Wayne refuses to kill someone as a membership requirement, Ducard becomes his enemy; the reclusive millionaire returns to Gotham City determined to fight evil, without realizing quite how much trouble he is in.
The story of why he identifies with bats (childhood trauma) and hates evildoers (he saw his parents killed by a mugger) has been referred to many times in the various incarnations of the Batman legend, including four previous films. This time, it is given weight and depth. Wayne discovers in Gotham that the family Wayne Corp. is run by a venal corporate monster (Rutger Hauer), but that in its depths labors the almost forgotten scientific genius Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman), who understands Wayne wants to fight crime and offers him the weaponry.
Lucius happens to have on hand a prototype Batmobile, which unlike the streamlined models in the earlier movies, is a big, unlovely juggernaut that looks like a Humvee's wet dream. He also devises a bat-cape with surprising properties.
These preparations, Gotham crime details and the counsel of the faithful servant Alfred (Michael Caine) delay the actual appearance of Batman until the second act of the movie. We don't mind. Unlike the earlier films, which delighted in extravagant special-effects action, "Batman Begins" is shrouded in shadow; instead of high-detail, sharp-edged special effects, we get obscure developments in fog and smoke, reinforced by a superb sound-effects design. And Wayne himself is a slow learner, clumsy at times, taking foolish chances, inventing Batman as he goes along.
This is at last the Batman movie I've been waiting for. The character resonates more deeply with me than the other comic superheroes, perhaps because when I discovered him as a child, he seemed darker and more grown-up than the cheerful Superman. He has secrets. As Alfred muses: "Strange injuries and a nonexistent social life. These things beg the question, what does Bruce Wayne do with his time?"
What he does is create a high profile as a millionaire playboy who gets drunk and causes scenes. This disappoints Rachel Dawes (Katie Holmes), his friend since childhood, who is now an assistant D.A. She and Lt. James Gordon (Gary Oldman), apparently Gotham City's only honest cop, are faced with a local crime syndicate led by Carmine Falcone (Tom Wilkinson). But Falcone's gang is child's play, compared to the deep scheme being hatched by the corrupt psychiatrist Dr. Jonathan Crane (Cillian Murphy). This movie was great.. I totally recommend it.!Lire l'avis complet...
Fantastic Film !!
What a GREAT movie !! Everyone involved did a fantastic job! From the writers, producers, director, actors, stuntmen and all of the behind-the-scenes folks.
A great job was done on the portrayals of the characters, from Mom & Dad, to Alfred & Bruce, to the mob boss & the creepy scarecrow, to the growth of the careers of James Gordon & Batman, to utilizing the financial & business resources of Wayne Enterprises.
The introduction of all of the very cool Batman “toys”, from the suit to the gadgets, as well as the Batmobile itself, is very well done and highly believable. Everything that Bruce acquires from the Archives Department, could conceivably happen.
Great special effects and great chemistry of the entire cast makes this film a must see & a must have for your video collection.
I would see 30 of these movies provided they are made with the main cast remaining intact as well as the director and writers, and the same attention to detail and character casting that this film has.
Make more !!!

Surprisingly Excellent New Take on the Batman Legend
Having loathed most of the previous Batman movies, I was reluctant to watch this one. I'm so glad I did! This one has removed almost all of the cartoon elements found in the last two Batman movies and is an excellent action adventure drama. The cast is fantastic: Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman were highlights for me. This movie takes on two of the most complex villains in the Batman legend: Ra's al Ghul and the Scarecrow. The pacing of the movie is great: it balances backstory and emotional turmoil with fast-paced action sequences. Christian Bale successfully portrays both Batman and Bruce Wayne--something previous actors seemed to have trouble with. Unlike some of the other Batman movies, this one DOES deserve its PG-13 rating: the Scarecrow scenes in particular could be too scary for young children. I thorougly enjoyed this movie and am glad I have it in my DVD collection to watch again. Highly recommended!Lire l'avis complet...
Batman Begins is Powerful, Fun & Outstanding
I've never been a big comic book fiend and I haven't been overly excited by recent comic-to-theater films like Spiderman, the Incredible Hukl, etc. But without a doubt - Batman Begins is the best of this recent phenomenon and is a fantastic movie if if you aren't a comic fan or even a batman fan - Batman Begins is done so well, that it really is an excellent movie. Christian Bale is outstanding (as always) as Bruce Wayne and Batman and the rest of the cast is, for the most part, stellar: Michael Caine as Alred is great, Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman are always excellent. My only criticism of the acting - and really of the film - is Katie Holmes as love interest Rachel Dawes... she is awful - has no emotion, is a painfully poor actress, and of course this movie arrived during her Tom Cruise escapade... But enough about Katie and more about Batman:
Batman Begins is more like an epic and a novel than a regular action film - it follows certain themes very nicely throughout the entire plot and does so under a very dark setting. The action scenes are filmed beautifully and the movie is general is a pleasure for the eyes - the DVD is an excellent addition for any big screen TV!

My Top 10 List!!!
'Batman Begins' is easily one of the best films ever made in my opinion. After you watch this you will never want different actors in any of the roles that were played in the movie. The acting is simply perfect and the effects amazing. The action feels so real and gritty. The direction of the Batman series has taken a turn towards legendary. I only hope the next one can match 'Batman Begins' but they have set a new bar for superhero movies in delivering adventure, great characters, and great action. Nice work on such a must own title Warner Bros. Perfect!!! 5/5Lire l'avis complet...
One my favorite all-time movies, action, suspense, mystery-has it all.
I made the mistake or NOT by watching THE DARK KNIGHT first before watching BATMAN BEGINS so naturally i was left wondering this and that. But after watching this movie only then did i fully understand the whole story. Ive seen all the batman movies there are and this one comes in a close second with the exception of THE DARK KNIGHT at number 1. Very well put together, loved how the director weaves everything in a web for the final overall picture leading up to THE DARK KNIGHT.Lire l'avis complet...
