My review of batman begins (SPOILERS ALERT)

The only real negatives I have for this film is that Nolan made the same mistake Burton did with Batman 89.No mention of Dick Greyson.So once again we are going to be left hanging in the dark on if Robin will be in a sequel or not

Actually I don't see that as a mistake at all, it is the first film and it is an origin story at that, so it would not be logical to mention him so early on. Also the longer Robin stays out of this franchise the better the films will be in return and the overall quality will much better as well. A character like Robin could bring a franchise like this tumbling down which I am sure none of us want. I commend Nolan and Goyer for not briniging in Robin and hopefully they never will.

never....never as in never confused178

lol, its probably just me though or maybe I'm still traumatized from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. Either way, they need to keep him away at least until a 3rd or 4th film in my opinion.

like I was saying introduce Dick Grayson in 2
have him become Robin about half way through 3

Sounds decent, except I think he should be introduced in a 3rd instead. The second film will still in one way or another be Batman's beginnings so I don't think Robin should be introduced then. Plus if we want a half decent story that focuses and involves the Joker then Robin should be left out.

It was a great movie definitely. a lot better than the other dark superhero movies as of late (dd,punisher,blade 3). but just so i can balance out myself, im also going to include a few glitches in the film:

1. the actor for a child bruce wayne wasn't very good
-his parents got killed in front of him and he simply looked like he just saw a dead rat.

2. the wayne's exit an opera show into an alley looking like its the most rundown district in gotham. A high class opera with a lot of rich people in a nasty looking building like that?

3. it was funny how bruce didn't want to execute the murderer he was supposed to kill in his rite of passage, but he ended up killing everyone in the dojo anyway.

4. the first part was a bit too fast, i would have loved to indulge a bit more time with bruce's training.

--- anyway, i still enjoyed the movie a LOT. just wanted to give a few critics. id still rate it a 95. hope the superman movie will be as good.

Bite your tongue.To never bring in Robin would be treason.A bad screenplay like Batman and Robin would bring it down,not Robin.

Now that I can agree on,that he can wait till the third or fourth film.

I too think this is one of the best comic book movies ever, if not THE best. As far as some people complaining about the lack of choreographed fighting, Ducard said it in the beginning of the movie:

THIS IS NOT A DANCE.

Bruce didnt train to become a graceful martial artist. He was trained to take on a legion of bad guys, doing what was necassary to win. Sneaky, brutal, EFFECTIVE...not pretty.

BTW, there was one line Ducard/Ra's says during Bruce's training that really stuck with me.

"Criminals thrive on the indulgence of society's acceptance."

Can someone with a better memory than me confirm that I have it right?

yeah this isn't a dance.

IT WAS THE BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE EVER!

Batman Begins IS THE BEST! Hollywood has brains afterall.

A+

yeah not a dance... still i was kinda looking forward to more enthralled fight scenes. the sword scene at the beginning was good, but the scene in the training had too many cuts and shadows in it that i couldn't identify who was hitting who.

oh sorry, i meant fight scene in the train.

the fighting scenes did bother me a little at first. However, Batman Forever was on tv recently and i watched that, and the fighting in that movie is shot from a distance and with longer shots. And,IMO it did really look like a dance to me, it looked cheesy. Just compare the actual fight scenes from Forever to Begins. What Begins did was much better i think.

so what's the title for the next movie gonna be?

batman begins 2
batman begins returns
batman returns robin begins
batman! robin begins

any ideas?

Batman 2: the killing joke
Batman 2: sins of laugher
Batman 2: gotham knight
Batman 2:enter the Joker
Batman 2: the killer smile

surely one of those would work.
