Er..this was my favorite Batman film.  That's all I'll bother saying..I'm not a huge Batman fan, but I thought this was the best one.  

I'm a bit disappointed in the DVD, it could have had a commentary with the Director and cast.

Though it is a very in depth revealing experience as the special features are presented in a comic book type index which is very unique in the world of DVD where most just give us a bland click here ha-ha

You know I picked this up and watched it with my Girl aqnd I actually kinda enjoyed it this time out. I still don't think Bale is the man for the Bruce Wyane role... he's not dark enough or something. I just cannot get or buy into him as Bruce Wayne, maybe it's that stupid look on his face half the time.

He kinda reminds me of Tim Daily from Wings.

Anyways, I loved Liam in the movie he was great. I just wished they used him more. I hated that Murphy fucktard. He sucked. His acting sucks. He's not scary. He's not buff. He's a fool. I simply loathed Big foot Holmes in the movie. She is really god awful and if it weren't for Cruise making her somebody then she'd be nobody.  As for Alfred, no... Michael Caine or not... he isn't Alfred. I think the original Alfred was great... I didn't like Caine's depiction of the character. I also liked Oldman's character as Gordon. He made the role worthy of a watch.

As a whole the story worked, cause it was its own movie and not something ripped out of the comics. It seemed to adapt itsself as BATMAN the movie... and not BATMAN the movie based on a comic book and I loved that. A seperate BATMAN universe all together that can be crafted how the writer/director wants it to go. The freedom here will be great in later installments. I'm sure of it.

In the end.. the movie still gets only a 3 from me. I'm not a big superhero guy. I like the FLASH and the PUNISHER and that's it. All the rest can kiss my ass and go to hell for all I care.

Too bad about Ryan "no talent" Reynolds got the role for the FLASH  oh well, he isn't playing the good flash anyways... he's playing WALLEY WEST and everyone knows WEST is a lame dick. BARRY ALLEN was the story to tell in a motion picture, yet Hollywood, again, fucks up.

Anyways, BATMAN BEGINS... not bad upon second watch. It's not great and still doesn't capture what Burton did with 1 and 2 but it was better than 3 and 4.

I just got done with Batman Begins and IMO it's the Best batman flick,if not the best superhero flick ever. yes that is right even better than spider-suck (i did like the spider man flims even though im not really a fan of him)


This film had some problems but they were few and far between. all i can say is get the DVD the movie is worth watching. in fact the olny real thing that makes me mad is that the features can olny be seen by puting the DVD into your cd-rom.


*****outta*****


by the way in case anyone was wondering whats up with the Ra's Al Ghul thing,here it is.

Ra's Al Ghul has Bodygaurds that act as decoys for him called Ubu's, you can tell who is a Ubu because there Bald. Ra's has had many decoys over the years,including Baine,yes THAT Baine, aka "The Man Who Broke The Bat".

Now just to let you know Ra is not dead, don't even think about telling me other wise, he can not really be killed, he has lived for many centurys. just wait until they introduce the lazarus  pit,which is what keeps Ra's alive.

A lot of useless information, he probably won't be in the sequels because it seems as if that part of the saga is already over and done. They seem to want to jump into the notable villains that will sell movies.

2008 is when the next movie comes out so might as well not even talk about it until at least 2007.

Quoted from Old Time Wesley A lot of useless information, he probably won't be in the sequels because it seems as if that part of the saga is already over and done. They seem to want to jump into the notable villains that will sell movies. 2008 is when the next movie comes out so might as well not even talk about it until at least 2007.

Im sure he won't be back for quite a while yet, but  once they have had the go through with most the top villains you will see Ra's back, maybe this time with his daugther talia, who was a Batman love intrest.

I honestly want to see another movie, but with Joker,like they hint at in the film. i was hoping for a small joker cameo in this flim when they pass the prisoners cells at arkham,even if it was olny green hair for a second or less.

My own opinions on this one:

The revival of the Batman franchise by taking us back to Batman's roots and tweaking them to be exciting. A LOT goes on in this film from Bruce Wayne trying to learn who he is to his return to Gotham to his antics around town before discovering what he needs to "be" Batman. To survive the trek from Bruce to Batman, though, takes some patience as it doesn't happen for the first hour of the movie.

The only disappointment is the attempted inclusion of a Batman villain, Scarecrow. When he was there, he was frightening, but he was way underused and never acheived any measure of being threatening. And his "defeat" was nothing short of shameful (he wasn't beaten by the bat). The real villain was very good, however, and Scarecrow could have been dropped entirely, and we would have lost nothing.

Don't get this film mixed up with the four that have come before. The implications here are that we're starting the franchise over. Unlike Burton's Batman film from 1988, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne were killed by a rogue hoodlum, just like they were in the comic books. There is an implication of a sequel that may include the Joker.

It was a very good film overall, and one of the best super hero films to come out.

A Batman for adults.

I'm writing this review as I'm watching the movie for the second time. we're at the scene when Bruce's parents gets killed. So far it's...different. Different than the other batman movies. Which is a good and a bad thing. The Burton movies was very dark and none of the sequels can beat the first one, including Batman begins. The Schumacher movies was more like children movies. The goal of them was to make it more family friendly. And more....toyetic. "Toyetic" was a new word for Joel. It means that the gadgets in the movie would be easy to make in to toys. This movie is all but toyetic which is a good thing, at least for adult audiences. This movie can be defined like that "A Batman for adults."

As I said before this is a different approach to a Batman movie. Not to dark, not to light. As opposed to the previous movies this movie doesn't start with Batman already existing. While the movie goes on Bruce evolves as Batman. Him developing the tools and bat mobile out of military prototypes. Creating the suit out of military Kevlar. Creating the Batsignal out of a large light and a Falcone thug. What's exceptional about this movie is that it's very close to reality. The events in this film could really occur. Not like the Penguin man or Mr. Freeze. The fight sequences are OK but disappointing, most of the time the camera was a bit shaky and you really couldn't make out who was hitting who. I'm looking forward to the sequel where i hope to see some fight sequences where Bruce uses some of the martial arts that he developed during his exile. The acting was all excellent. Gary Oldman in the role as Commissioner Gordon was....well what can i say? Good old Gary. Michael Caine as Alfred was good but i Preferred the original Alfred, Michael Gough, in that part. And this is without a doubt Christian Bale's second best performance yet after American Psycho All in all this is a well made and worthy Batman movie. Can't wait for the next one.

9/10
