Batman Begins

[Foomanchew24]

Just saw this on saturday and they darn near made a four star movie. My biggest problem with this movie was the fighting scenes. Like so many american directors they think the need to cut from angle to angle and have it close up to make it look like there is action going on. When in reality they need to back the camera up so that we can enjoy the choreogrphy that went into the fight scenes. Overall a very nice movie probably the only batman that I would watch again as the other are too lame or wierd to revisit.

Please, let us never speak of the travesties that were Joel Shumacker's (spl) batman films- While I think that those casted for Riddler and Two-face were good choices, they made the both of them complete and total spazzes. Christ, I am honestly shocked that they didn't put the *ziff* *bam* *Kapow* in those two films, they were so reminiscent of the Adam West Batman era.


Anyways, back to the good stuff:

Having Crane trip out on his own gas, and seeing what he saw when he saw Batman, was freaking AWESOME. I was honestly shocked at how well they reproduced the comics, though I have to ask, because I forget: Was Katie Holmes's character ever in the comics? Or was she brought in for eye-candy?

Overall, excellent film, especially with Morgan Freeman as Fox: Who better to arm you for crime fighting than Freeman? He has that "Q" look about him.


Interesting fact: Only two people have ever been the proper height of Batman, per his height in the comics of 6'2": Adam West, and Christen Bale.

That why I want them to make the other movies but this time with the same director(forgot the name) and Christian Bale. I was also especially fond of the music.

Favorite quote from movie: "SWEAR TO ME!!"

Same director as Momento.... crap I forget his name too. Remaking the other 4 batman movies would be cool, though tbo the first 2 didn't need much in the way of improvment. But please, some one burn the memories from my brain of Arnold as Mr. Freeze ;_; please??

I just saw the movie. It was good, but I thought that it could have been better. I wish the made scarecrow cooler like in the old cartoon one.

katie holmes character wasnt in the comics, batman was always supposed to be this brooding loner guy, i guess they felt the movie needed more, might have been a little bland (but still cool) without her

I'm a huge fan of the new batman movie... and wouldn't be surprised to see Bale recast as Batman in a few sequels. In terms of sequels though... obviously Nickelson is too old to play the Joker again, so who do you think would make a good Joker... along the same lines, do you think Tommy Lee Jones could play Harvey Dent again, or would they have to cast someone else?
