Batman Begins

  • Article

Wow. Overall, the reviews for Batman Begins have been good, but not out-of-this-world. Nevertheless, the trailer had me excited about this movie, and my wife and I went to see it tonight. I don't want to build up too many expectations, but I loved this movie! And for the record, I didn't like any of the other Batman films. I can't remember the last time I've been entertained like this. I was engrossed almost the whole time. The music was fantastic. The special effects must have looked real, because I don't remember even thinking about them. I decided about 3/4 of the way through that I would need to clap at the end, and I can't remember the last time I clapped at the end of a movie. If you see it, please see it in a theater with good sound. It'll make all the difference.

    I hope the movie lives up to the dark tone of the trailer. And for the record: the last time I clapped at the end of a movie was Episode III.

    People actually do that? Clapping at the end of a movie, I mean. Never seen (or rather: heard) that happen. Who's supposed to hear it anyway?

    Maybe it's a US thing...

    I just watched the movie last night (Thursday) and it's actually rather decent. There are NO spoilers below!

    It's dark, and while I'm not familiar with the details of "The Dark Knight" I would guess the new Batman character is in between the classic Batman movie from the late 80s and the darker more sinister Dark Knight, leaning towards the side of the Dark Knight.

    One thing to realize is that this movie was made as if the previous Batman flicks never existed, so don't walk into the theater expecting a quirkly Bruce Wayne, or think that Katie Holmes is the new Vicki Vale. There's almost never a scene where Katie Holmes is "the damsel in distress" which is very refreshing, it's purely about Batman taking on the evil forces (gangsters? evil-do'ers?) at work.

    There are no serious plot twists, nor does the script attempt to lead itself that way. There is a very mild one at the end but you might not even notice it.

    I left the theater with mixed feelings as I had the wrong expectations walking into the movie but I can say without a doubt it was good, not a single corny scene and it's never over the top or "X-Treme". The new SUV/Tank Batmobile is argueably a bit over the top but the story has a pretty decent reason why he is using this vehicle.

    Batman was very well done. One thing that I liked was they did a lot of character development with out making the movie slow, something that must have be difficult to write and film. Unlike the previous films, this one is actually about Bruce Wayne/Batman and not so much about the bad guys.

    I agree must see on big screen with good sound.

    Correct, it's not a prequel.

    Well, based largely on your recommendation (respecting your movie insight at least as much as your technology insight), as well as the trailer before Episode III, a few of us checked out the movie "over lunch". I have to say that it was a quite refreshing example of good storytelling combined with action and special effects. Batman Begins ends up being a very fitting title after they explain so much of the Batman backstory without getting all "hokey" like Episode III - granted Batman Begins is not touted as a "prequel" but has some of those elements. I won’t go into a "review" except to say it was well worth the price of admission and I would 2nd the "see it in a theater with good sound" suggestion – in fact I’d even say find an IMAX near you if possible.

    I have already seen the movie twice. Excellent movie!!!! Christian Bale is an excellent Bruce Wayne/Batman. The back story and development sets the stage for a better sequel. Everyone should refer to the Bob Kane/Frank Miller Batman and realize Nolan did them right. This movie was about Batman unlike the previous 1989 movie that should have been named the Joker. Hopefully WB will pay Nolan, Bale, Caine, Freeman and the rest to make the 2nd/3rd Installment. Possible titles Batman II the Dark Knight.

    Here here.

    I clapped at the end of Gladiator, and I'm not a movie clapper.

    I very nearly clapped at the end of Batman Begins, it's the best movie I've seen in a long, long time.
