October 31, 2007A dark and hard-charging big-screen comeback for the Dark Knight. Christian Bale IS Batman.
-
September 14, 2009Christopher Nolan hits the nail on the head. Batman is back, he's dark, he's a bloody schizophrenic! and he's the perfect anti-hero! A much needed reboot goes well. The cast are perfect (Apart from Holmes but that is soon rectified in the next film)
-
September 8, 2009Thank God that the Batman franchise was rebooted. Everything after Batman Returns was misguided and wrong. Batman Begins is the DC equivalent of the first Spider-man movie. It establishes the the charachter in a way that's interesting and true to what has made that character so ...( read more)

May 30, 2009Director Christopher Nolan took this almost dead franchise and blew a breath of fresh air into it. It just flew in out of nowhere and blew everyone away as far as how much better it was than anyone thought a Batman film could be again. The choice to cast one of the best actors wo...( read more)

April 2, 2009Absolutely incrediable. A gripping, compelling and astonishing film thats also deeply moving and extroadinary. A masterpiece. Director, Christopher Nolan brings new life to the story of The Dark Knight and crafts it perfectly. An action-packed extravaganza that explodes off the s...( read more)

November 21, 2009Nolan takes the campy comic book hero of Burton's movies (let alone those botched attempts in between) and transports Batman into the present, which is dense, bleak and not funny at all. Christian Bale again lets his infinite pool of anger and hatred ooze of the silverscreen and ...( read more)

November 19, 2009This was an awesome movie!!! I loved it! We rented it 1 week ago and I've watched it 3 times already!

November 19, 2009Batman has always seemed to make great viewing and with the darker takes on him of the past to decades, great movies. This was a real treat though. It's almost rational take on an irrational super hero. Many of his trates had become figures of fun and jokes, but this movie succes...( read more)

July 20, 2008This film sucked! And The Dark Knight probably will too. Bring back Mr.Burton you fools!! The first hour is good, but the Batman action scenes in this film were so overly homosexual, I didn't know whether to throw up or laugh. A disaster of a film as far as this old school Batman fan is concerned. This is the second worst Batman film ever made.
Batman: The Movie (1966) 3 stars
Batman (1989) - 4 and a half stars
Batman Returns - 3 stars
Batman Forever - 2 and a half stars
Batman & Robin - 1 and a half stars
Batman Begins - 2 stars -
July 10, 2008The last batman movies seemed to have been adapted from the cartoon shows on WB Kids. This version of Batman however, & let me just say this is the best version, takes on a realism that other comic book movies don't have. Or perhaps it is the fact that the filmmakers weren't targeting child audiences. Whatever the reason, this movie rocks!!!

July 1, 2008''Are you ready to begin?''
Like it's title, the beginning truly is the masterpiece. Liam Neeson & Christian Bale show how deep a man with a dark side that needs a destiny can be. -
June 16, 2008DC Comics was, for a long time, criticized about not starting an Ultimate comics line of their own when Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men became huge hits. Ironically, however, this movie is everything an Ultimate Batman would have to have been: a perfect distillation of the character's origins and motivations, but set in a contemporary timeline and featuring streamlined continuity (such as the paired-down portrayals of Ra's Al Ghul and Scarecrow). And yes, I am a massive geek.
Now if only Warner Brothers would follow this example with the rest of the characters in the DCU for their own feature film endeavors! -
