Batman Begins on DVD (2005)

Utterly Brilliant....

Mark from Berkshire , 17/06/2005

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)

Oooooh Batman.

At last, back to the good old days of good Batman films. Christopher Nolan has resurrected the Batman franchise that most people presumed had been killed off after those last few films that I can't bring myself to mention. Christian Bale is superb as Wayne/Batman and Michael Caine is as good as ever. Cillian Murphy is possibly one of the few villains that is scarier without the mask than with it.

The film takes a while to get going but it does set the scene incredibly well and the sets look amazing and add to the dark feel of the film.

The only thing that I didn't like was Katie Holmes' character, Rachel. The character was very weak and didn't really add much to the film apart from being the token (allegedly) tough woman in a man's world/love interest.

Aside from that one tiny thing, this is quite possibly one of the best films I have seen for a long time - GO SEE IT!

Make a choice

Paulie from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 26/03/2007

You have to decide how you want your Batman! all dark, brooding & menacing like the comic book, or kapoow wowee Batman ala 1960's. If its the latter you may find this a bit harsh, if you thought every film before was lame you will love this!! Christian Bale plays the slightly deranged superhero brilliantly, full of menace & anger, Gotham looks like the mean streets its meant to be. This film is a corker even with the odd lame line or two. Finally a Batman you want to see more of.

Finally the darkness is restored!!!!!

Karen931 from Edinburgh [Highly rated reviewer] , 18/08/2008

Step up Mr Christopher Nolan, god i am i glad to see you!!!

Finally somebody took hold of Batman and restored it back to its former glory!!!! I was begining to panic that Batman would never make it back to its dark and gothic best as it was always intended to be after the disasters we had been forced to entertain up till now. It goes darkly into the past of Bruce Wayne and tells the story of how he became Batman. It leaves you begging for more, not full of dispair as the effort before had previously. Finally someone equipped to take the reins from Tim Burton had arrived, about bloody time.
