Batman Begins Audience Reviews

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

sinethsamarasooriya-58359 Untill now the best hero movie trilogy is the christoper nolans batman movies...this movie is fantastic...best acting from christain bale and superb storyline and directing...best of the best movie

Osmosis Iron There have been many Batman movies before, but this is the first to actually tell his origin! Previous movies have only mentioned it, or had a short flashback about it. This one takes it's time and is as much of a Bruce Wayne movie as a Batman movie! It also shows how life is in Gotham before Batman, and what motivates Bruce to do what he does. Every aspect of the story gets it's fair share of time, and it never feels rushed or dragging. The cast is very good, which is expected since most are well established actors. Christian Bale is good as both Batman and Bruce Wayne. There are many memorable moments and scenes. If there is something, that is a bit off, it might be that action sequences are filmed maybe too closely so often it's not all that clear what's happening.. but this is quite a minor complaint. When Batman hangs thugs from rooftops and screams "SWEAR TO ME!" it's epic! All in all, it is an almost perfect origin story that takes many elements from the sublime "Year One" story and expands on it further to make an entertaining movie, which also perfectly sets up future installments!

JokerMichel For Christopher Nolan to turn Batman Begins into such a smart experience is astonishing Truly, Batman does begin again

Torrin-McFinn77 After the 1990s Batman cartoons ended their run on TV and the first Batman film series went downhill (courtesy of the Joel Schumacher films), I was a little curious when I heard there was going to be a new Batman in 2005. Would it outdo the originals? Would it redeem the franchise? Some might say their favorite Batman is Michael Keaton, but Christian Bale is my second-favorite with Kevin Conroy as the first (albeit in voice). Not only did this movie redeem the franchise, it brought a lot of familiar faces to the cast, including Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson. One thing I noticed about the Chris Nolan Batman films was that it's more realistic than the past Batman adaptations and the characters are more modern-day types. The villains lost their over-the-top motifs and are less supernatural (look at Ra's Al Ghul). Plus the Batmobile is more modern than the sports car type we were so used to seeing previously (Hope that didn't spoil anything!).But the action is there and we get a more true origin story of Bruce Wayne, the man who would become Batman. It gets better as you watch the film from start to finish. This is the more serious Batman (and less of an action comedy with all the ridiculous puns and campiness). So forget the Joel Schumacher Batman films and try something a lot less gaudy and something darker and more serious. This movie got me back into Batman and it worked. Now Batman is my favorite of all the DC superheroes. He's the most realistic guy since Marvel's Tony Stark (AKA Iron Man).
