I love batman, but I will not refuse the fact that the movies are all very cheesy. However I thought this movie was quite good.

    Great film...much darker than the others and really takes the story of batman to another level. Looking forward to the sequal!

    Of all super-heroes I know, Batman was always the one I liked the least. But the trailer of this movie made it seem pretty philosophical, so I went to see it. Wasn't bad, really.

    I went to see the film last week and I thought it was awful. Dunno if it was just me but the story seemed jumbled, the camera work was bad, most of the acting was really bad in particular Katie Holmes. Although I did think that Liam Neeson, Micheal Caine, Morgan Freemann and Gary Oldman were good in it.

    I'm pretty confused. I got Lian Neeson and Gary Oldman's parts confused and thought they played the part the other one actually played. They look kinda similar I guess... pah!

    Anyway, I thought it was pretty good.

    Batman is a 'superhero' right? But what's his 'power'? Superman can fly and melt stuff, Spiderman can climb buildings and whatnot, but what does Batman do?

    He doesn't have any powers. He uses fear and theatrics to become more than just a man to his enemies.

    What would you be more intimidated by, a random bloke dressed as a bat, or Batman, who can fly, disappear and do a whole bunch of other shit? Supposedly, anyway :razz:

    yup.. he has no special abilities, just gadgets, toys and good phyisical fitness,


    From a college friend and a Batman comic fanatic

    the reason batman begins is good is because it actually follows the comic were as the other films stick with the comic VERY losely and are a pile of dick,

    Well, yeah. But I'd like to see just anyone with a bit of spare time afford the Batmobile and all his other fancy shit :p

    That was one thing that disappointed me... they never called the car the 'Batmobile' once! I was waiting and waiting and they didn't say it once. Nor did they refer to the 'batcave'! :grump:

    You are taking the piss right?

    The "sequel" was made ten years ago. That's the whole POINT of a prequel :banghead:

    actually there is a sequel being planned, Batman Begins will most likely create its own batman universe rather than being a prequel to the existing movies

    I think the whole point of this film was to create a new darker version of the story of batman taking it back to its original comic book roots. I consider this film to be unrelated to the older less serious films previously made. And no I was not joking when I mentioned a sequal, the opening was specifically designed to create an opening for the joker and this will be the new film imo. You may disagree but I think this film was made not as a prequal to the original films but as a new interpretation of a comic book tale (a bit like reinterpretting a legend/myth) :yes:

    Whatever you look at it, Batman Begins is the prequel in the sense of the Batman timeline to the original Batman. Whether or not they make a new film with the Joker or not, its a prequel.

    I loved it.
