Batman Begins (DVD)

...prequel to the 1990's Burton Batman movies; In fact this is a total retelling of the story. In the Burton movies Bruce Wayne's parents are killed by the joker, Chris Nolan (Director) went for the more accurate approach and included in the begins story the original killer from the comic books. There are rumours that the sequel to Batman Begins will also feature the joker. With that cleared up, we'll move on. Chris Nolan has decided to go back to ...
...step away from the comical Batman and Robin and features some great Actors (Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, and Michael Kane among others). I think the film is a lot darker and shows Bruce Wayne as someone we can relate to, as he does get hurt and does not appear to be invincible. The villains in this one are all taken from the comics, Scare crow, Rhas al Ghaul and the crime boss Falconi all of which are superbly acted by the actors who play them. ...

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

...a while I thought the Batman franchise was getting a bit too colourful and was using one too many one liners for its own good. That was until I went to the cinema and saw this excellent tale, that went right back to the very origin of the dark knight. We see a darker grittyer Batman portrayed brilliantly by Christian Bale and see in more detail then ever before, how he actually becomes the superhero. There is even a reference at the end about the ...

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

...have seen all the other Batman films but this was in a different class. It was Batman as it should be - not silly or comical but with a serious side with plenty of sinister, gothic and atmospheric undertones. The storyline builds up well with the first half of the film showing how Bruce Wayne came to be Batman, including his childhood accident causing his fear of bats, the death of his parents, and his anger and turmoil causing him to turn his back ...
...does not appear as Batman until the second half of the film and when he does he does not disappoint! His costume, car and high-tech aids are stunning and the special effects brilliant. Christian Bale is excellent as Batman/Bruce Wayne and is supported by a very talented cast - Michael Cain, Liam Neeson, Tom Wilkinson, Rutger Hauer, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman. In a nutshell this film is stunning, thrilling and great entertainment - not to be missed! ...

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

Overall Batman Begins was easy to follow and enjoy, for the younger generations the beginning could be alittle long winded, maybe even boring. But for the older more mature viewers batman begins is a great plot- shows the history of batman at its best! Batman's technology is explained how its works, but still leaves a certain mistery about him. Acting is brilliant and music just as good! so if your willing to sit down and watch a intense film of action, romance and a little humour. this has got to be the film for you... ...

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

I have always enjoyed batman from the somewhat cheesy 60's TV through the four 90's films and all of the associated cartoons. I was looking forward to seeing this movie in the cinema but somehow managed to miss it, when it came out on DVD I got it straight away and was not disappointed. I had heard varying comments from friends about it but personally think it's the best of all the film versions of Batman. The story concentrates on how Batman became ...
...Christian Bale makes a great batman with Katie Holmes playing his love interest and childhood sweetheart. The cast is completed with stars such as Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Michael Caine and Rutger Hauer. All in all a movie not to be missed, the bigger the screen and the louder the sound the better, a true action movie to come back to time after time. Can't wait for the next instalment (which is apparently coming out in 2008) ---- I have had a ...

Huge fan of batman and any superhero. The one thing i acutally liked about this movie compared to the others was the fact that this movie to my knowledge was the first movie to actually explain how bruce wayne comes up with the idea of becoming the dark knight. I love the fact this movie was simple and down to earth and very realistic compared to Tim Burtons movies. I can't wait to the sequal comes out later in the year. ...

...After watching the other batman films i didn't expect this one to be this good, this film included an actual super hero who was more realistic like a normal man and the first super hero to actually change how he speaks when his the super hero because i think its very stupid how nobody ever knows its superman or spiderman because they always speak the same way. This film was also in a more realistic city area and it was a darker film. The story of ...
...how he became batman by learning martial arts and sword fighting by the way of the ninja. You also got to know the characters better in this movie. The movie had comedy action crime adventure and thriller genres. Its not till after the first hour you actually see him as batman, because in the meanwhile he is getting all his equipment ordered from abroad and then you see him make it all and you see him get the batmobill from morgan freeman who plays ...

...darker than than the classic batman movies but it is superb. Right from the beggining there is 1st class acting with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. It is actually one of my favourite movies of all time. The story line is very good and the batmobile is the best of any batman movie. It is an action, thriller and mystery movie and is still quite suitable for children. The special effects are also amazing and I just wonder how they are so god. I am ...

...true feel of what a Batman movie should be. Moody and brilliant, the films offers stunning set pieces and excellent performances from it's stellar cast. What the movie does best is appeal to a wide ranging audience, from it's interesting narrative and it's often humorous script. Perhaps only let down by a disappointing villain, Batman Begins is worth adding to any DVD collection. The 2- disc special edition features many bonus features. Two particular ...

Review of Batman Begins (DVD)

When you think of batman films unfortunately you may think of george clooney giving a very cheesy performance. No longer the superb gothic film from tim burton. However Batman begins is about to re set the standard. Batman is one of the most popular and well known comic book heroes ever perhaps falling short to superman. With such a huge fanbase you would hope a film version of his story would be equal to his magesty. This is definately the case ...
...you are a fan of batman this is a must and if you are a fan of movies again this is one for the collection. With a sequal on the way buy this now and be part of the frenzy when the next one comes out. The music sets the tone well but isnt as memerable as I would have liked. The special effects are also top notch, the director didnt wnat to use too much CGI and the movie doesnt feel as unrealistic as superman or spiderman. After you watch this i can ...

...whole story of how the Batman character was born. My concern was after the earlier Batman films I was going to see another train wreck of a film with over indulgent performances from its stars. Instead this film is purely about the story, with an outsanding performane from Christian Bale as the young Bruce Wayne, dealing with his familly inheritance and becoming the caped crusader. Along with excellent sopporting performances from Michael Caine and ...
