Batman Begins

[Brazoliange]

Batman never had his hands full near the climax? how about when he got knocked down and almost ripped apart Dawn-of-the-Dead style?

I tought it was a really good movie and the best I've seen so far this year. I would say best action flick since the Matrix Reloaded but I won't.

the action was rad. it was all about the sound, mans!

Spolier Review:
I saw this right after crash, a double hitter. I haven't had this much exileration seeing two movies like these in a long while. So, here we go: the first part where we were seeing him training himself dragged on just a tiny bit I thought but other than that I really enjoyed it. The whole cast did an amazing job. Gary Oldman, especially, was kickass. Bale really knows how to play drunk pretty damn well. I was wondering if Pubrick, had seeen this yet, and if has, did he notice Eyes Wide Shut's Mr. Milich as the homeless man who takes the coat, if not P, did anyone notice him. Also, the hotel desk clerk from memento had a quirky little role too. I had a lot of fun watching this. As far as the whole Joker/Jack Nicholson Debate: if cast just right, they just might pull it off, although I doubt many hardcore Batman fanatics will Forget Jack as the joker.
The ending last minutes with everyone who was poisoned with Gas was walking around felt like it was a scene from a George Romero classic.

Rade Serbedzija. I didn't think it could be him at first, since it's such a tiny part, but sure enough - even the bums get played by first rate actors in this film.

I remembered him more from Eurotrip and The Saint, but yeah

I still feel Burton's Batman and Dick Tracy are the only two comic films to get it right.

So Joker's Magnum shooting down the 1.5 million dollar bulletproof Batplane with one shot is getting it right?

That scene practically ruined the entire movie.

my excitement for this has waned since i saw it on wednesday, and that doesn't bode well for how i'll view it when i see it again or on dvd. but, i will say that all the performances were great, and i even thought holmes was fine. though...her constant nippage was very distracting. a movie like this didn't need to stoop to that level.

its a comic book movie

for me, "right" doesn't mean realistic. again it's a comic book.

calling attention to "unrealistic" elements is arbitrary.

making a "realistic" adaptation of a comic book is boring to me.

Batman Begins keeps garnering praise for being so realistic. for me realism isn't a virtue when it comes to comic books films.

- its a matter of taste.

cowboy, I really agree about the score. Two great composers and they just mickeymouse the entire film.

[w/o horse]

I don't even remember the score but I largely agree with what cowboykurtis is saying.  The city especially is getting way too much slack, it was an ugly mesh of major cities, most notably Hong Kong, Chicago, and Big Tall Buildings.

Does anyone else feel that it would have been way more interesting if Wayne HAD chopped the guys head off?  That would have had so much more depth to the character.  You could either take it really dark with Batman as a criminal killing machine...or you could have Wayne really conflicted with himself as he tries to reconsile what he has done with what he's really out to accomplish.  They scarificed this opportunity for commercialism.
