Batman Begins (HD-DVD)

Genius of mystery and intrigue Christopher Nolan (MEMENTO, FOLLOWING, INSOMNIA) helms this prequel to the Batman films based on the DC Comics series, explaining how Bruce Wayne... more...(Christian Bale) the billionaire prince of Gotham whose parents were killed in an alleyway mugging transformed into the crime-fighting superhero. With flashbacks to his privileged childhood, young Master Wayne, as he is called by the butler Alfred (Michael Caine), develops a terrible fear of bats when he falls through the backyard garden into a hidden cave. As a young adult, Wayne lives among the League of Shadows, a martial arts group in the mountains of Asia. His leaders Ra's al Ghul (Ken Watanabe) and Henri Ducard (Liam Neeson) teach him strength, endurance, and unfortunately evil, against which he naturally rebels. Returning to Gotham and reinstating himself as a dapper socialite and the rightful heir to his parents' enterprise, Wayne quickly devises his secret identity, commanding help from the gadgetry expert Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman). With one eye on his childhood playmate Rachel (Katie Holmes) now a beautiful woman and dedicated lawyer and the other on his mission to save Gotham from criminal corruption, Batman makes his fledgling debut. But when the blue-blooded mastermind Dr. Crane (Cillian Murphy) who steals every scene with chilling menace taints the water system with a hallucinatory substance, Batman realises he has met his first true opponent. An attitude of grave seriousness elevates BATMAN BEGINS above more cartoony Batman movies, as Nolan crafts a dark drama that thrives on sci-fi intrigue. Bale strides into the role with grace, adding refinement that is seldom seen in action-oriented films. And while the action scenes explode with high-tech glitz and fast-moving thrills, they are evenly placed among sequences of plot and character development, making for a complex and satisfying viewing experience.

BATMAN BEGINS

Advantages: The bonus disks
Disadvantages: none

it over my friends in the states but it has not been released in the UK yet until October 18th of this year. But I have already pre-ordered my copy. The bonus features on the 2 disk DVD set are brilliant, and gives you a real background into the Batman history. Certainly good value for money. Arguably the best Batman movie yet. It already sets itself up for a sequel with a hint to who the next villain is, but I won't spoil that for you!

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

The Beginning!

Advantages: The start of the story, good actors, story
Disadvantages: None

Ever wondered how it all began? How did Batman become Batman, where does he get his suit from, where does he get his desire and drive to sort out the criminals in Gotham City? Well, if you have ever asked these questions then Batman Begins is for you. Obviously there have been other Batman movies before this one but this movie is what some would call the first in the story and was released in 2005 but tells the story of Bruce Wayne's Early years and the beginning of Batman. I thought this Batman movie was one of the best. This actually has a really good story line and is very watchable. I think sometimes with the previous Batman movies it's more about the fight between the baddie and Batman and doesn't really have a story whereas this one I found really interesting and good to know. It now makes sense when you watch other Batman movies ...

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

Batman Begins... Very slowly.

Advantages: Good stunts, good love interest, nice performance from Bale
Disadvantages: Non-scary villain, slow to start.

I saw this after seeing The Dark Knight and I'll admit I was slightly disappointed. The main plot is that we find out how Batman became Batman, we see why he chose a life of crime and how he learnt all his fighting skills. There is then The Scarecrow terrorizing Gotham and Batman in true super-hero form has to stop his evil plan. The movie doesn't feel like it's started until nearly an hour in, though I did like that it covered Batman's earlier life. It was just a pity that it was so slow, and to be honest, a bit boring. The high point of the earlier section of the film was when Batman was completing his Ninja style training with a group of masked men all moving in unison, trying to find his master to prove he'd finished. The villain wasn't even close to the joker in scare/amusement. The sack over his head thing wasn't really scary ...
