Utterly Brilliant....
Having just returned from the cinema, I felt I had to write a review for Hollywood's best blockbuster in ages. Batman Begins is, as you would expect, a film that depicts how Bruce Wayne became the 'Bat'. The film has a fantastic mix of action, storytelling and homur that keeps the pace chopping along nicely. The special FX are excellent and the Bat-Mobile is just cool. I have to admit, the one thing that I thought stood out the most is the very dark nature of the film (which it should be!), it worked really well and there were some moments that younger viewers or those of a sensitive nature might find a bit spooky. The cast list was top notch, as was the acting and directing. All in all, I have not enjoyed a trip to the cinema as much in a long time and I would strongly urge you to see this on the big screen. However, no matter when or where you simply must watch this film... its the best blockbuster that Hollywood has produced in a very long time - very highly recommended ;o)

Batty as hell
This film was so bad I'd actually seen it before but not realised! Not a bad choice for the lead role but the pretentious 'you fall over to get back up again' had me reaching for the sick bucket. It's marginally better than the George Clooney and Val Kilmer efforts - but they didn't have to do much to out do them. Bring back Burton and Nicholson!! If you've lost the will to live it's well worth a watch!

She handed the role over to Halle Berry in time for a 2004 spin-off - but admits she'd love to reclaim the leather catsuit and join Christian Bale's Batman in a future film. Pfeiffer tells Moviefone, "It would be really fun. I don't think that's going to happen. I think they Read more
