Little Movie Discussion Never Hurt Anyone

[Jason Tate]

Batman Begins was absolutely stunning. Go see it!

:batman:

[AshesAshes]

christian bale how was he???i saw a 10 minute preview and it sounded like his batman voice would be really annoying.

[jawkneephighv]

Agreed. Fucking beautiful movie.

Liam Neeson was fucking wonderful. Christian Bale was OKAY as far as acting goes -- he was kinda awkward when under the mask but I have a feeling the director wanted him that way.

I love, love, love the story. Wow. Very impressive in every direction. No bullshit.

I fucking loved it. I'm gonna see it again soon.

i loved him as batman, he deepend the voice to do the batman voice and fucking nailed it (in my opinion) .. this is the batman movie i've been waiting for my whole life. i'm a huge batman geek - and this one REALLY nailed what the character is all about..

[ActorInThisPlay]

Amazing movie. I am glad to see that they are going in the right direction with the Batman movies. I also agree that the director probably wanted Christian Bale to have that sort of tone in his voice. Anyways everyone go see it as soon as possible because it is so incredibly amazing.

A-fucking-MEN!

[jawkneephighv]

Cillian Murphy (The Scarecrow) was fucking great too.

The weapons, ride, fighting -- flawless. Wow.

Spider-Man can lick my fucking balls.

[ActorInThisPlay]

yeah as much as I love the first 2 Spiderman movies, this movie completely fucking owned them.

[Jason Tate]

damn thats good..michael keaton has always been my favorite batman would you say he topped him??
Keaton played wayne as sort of an absent minded billionaire.. I liked the Bale portrayal of Wayne as the play-boy I remembered from the comics. I did like Keaton under the mask ALOT as batman .. but his fighting style in the movies was very stiff and chorographed (in my opinon) .. Bale moved a lot more fluidly through the fight scenes and packed an extra punch to a few key moments (when flass gets yanked to the rooftops, I was like: HOLY FUCKING SHIT - now that is Batman - he's pissed, he's mean, and he's a fucking stud) ..

Cillian Murphy (The Scarecrow) was fucking great too.

The weapons, ride, fighting -- flawless. Wow.

Spider-Man can lick my fucking balls.
Amen to that .. I wasn't that big a Spidey 2 fan (the fact the effing world saw him w/o his mask on, and the cheeesy crucific scene really bugged me ..) this however (coming from a huge comic dork in his younger days) was the definitive comic-driven movie .. I think it topped xmen2 for me (which i throught was brilliant)

Cillian Murphy (The Scarecrow) was fucking great too.

The weapons, ride, fighting -- flawless. Wow.

Spider-Man can lick my fucking balls.
he played dr. Crane so well .. i was impressed.

hell .. even katie holmes did a good job.. i was worried about her, but walked out w/o hating her acting or character :) which was a huge surpise for me..

[bmoclives]

true that, best batman movie hands down. it's good to see them making it a good MOVIE, before making it a good batman movie.

Yeah I loved that part too. I also loved the part where he was talking to "Scarecrow" while he was under the hallucinogens and his face looked all trippy. The visual effects were just stunning.

exactly. that's just how i felt - great way of putting it ...

I really liked how the movie felt "real" .. without having noticable computer generated images everywhere and/or stupid neon lights (joel schumacher, i'm looking at you!)

[jawkneephighv]

I agree you guys. No Spider-Man bullshit. And yes, Jason, this topped the first 2 X-men movies as well. No doubt.

No bullshit love-making scene, too. I was so happy about that, seriously. We didn't get one ounce of uncessary shit. This movie owns my summer movies so far.

Not to mention the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory trailer was kick-ass! Hahahaha.

Yeah it didn't seem like random things were just thrown in there to make it look cool. Like you said, it felt more real. I also loved how they set it up for the first Batman, it wasn't cheesy at all. Man I need to go see it again.

[Jason Tate]

Not to mention the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory trailer was kick-ass! Hahahaha.

I am so all about that movie!! Hahaha!!!

[ActorInThisPlay]

I am so all about that movie!! Hahaha!!!

Yep that and War of the Worlds I am greatly looking forward to. I really hope War of the Worlds is good and doesn't end up disappointing me. I am looking forward to it so much.

[jawkneephighv]

Has Liam Neeson ever portrayed a badass mother fucker like that before? I really liked him and wanna know if he's done any other movies where he's like that.

Wow, I haven't been this crazy after a movie since....The Matrix, I think.

He was a stud .. and I don't remember ever seeing him in a role quite this way .. when George Lucas isn't writing his lines he does a marvelous job as an actor.. great casting, great direction, and some marvelous/yet believable technology.

When that one dude gets YANKED into the back of the container on batman's first outing .. i was so hooked.

[jawkneephighv]

I can't believe Ashton Kutcher was one of the possibilities for Batman. Bale naled it. Big time. It's just that his Keaton voice when under the mask caught me off-guard. It kinda came off annoying because it's been so long since I've heard a good Batman -- not to mention I was biting my lip waiting for a cheesy-ass Spider-Man line, but nope, we didn't get that -- we got the good shit.

Yea i agree with the fight scenes for keaton.i really need to see this movie.i've been dissapointed with the last two batman movies it sounds like this one makes up for them.

[losingstreakca]

amazing movie. if i start typing about it i will go on forever. all i have to say is...


how about that ending? if that wasnt the BEST ending to a comic book movie ever then i dont know what is.

[CircaEnder]

ok..this will be my last post on this thread..cause im sure the ending will be spoiled :(:(:( but sounds like i NEED to see this movie very soon

[Jason Tate]

so perfect.. haha.. i clapped..
don't wanna ruin it .. but it was great.

[dillonzach86]

I agree. And this movie was really dark. Definitely not for the kids. There were a lot of things in it that suprised even me. But I will agree that Cillian Murphy did a great job. Also, I actually liked Batman Returns a lot but it's the one that I hear the least about.

[CommishGord]

I fucking loved it, beyond the action parts, I really liked how much they explain Wayne's character, since the first hour of the movie is much more dialogue based. I'm not sure if I like Begins more than the first, but it's definately up there, when I see it again I'll probably decide.

The scarecrow also came out as badassed, I was nervous about him at first when I saw the inital previews, I remember watching the "Batman: The Animated Series" show, and being terrified of the scarecrow, but how they adapted him was really well done, and made a lot more sense than having a literal scarecrow villain.

I personally really liked Bale as Batman, in my opinion equivalent to Keaton's performance, and a million times better than either Val Kilmer or George Clooney.

Overall a badassed movie all around.

[Jesse2]

oh man i am so glad it's getting such positive reviews. i was really worried about this movie bombing, because it had so much potential. i can't wait to see this today.

[Throwback]

Absolutely amazing. Seriously, I was blown away. My only two complaints are the sore underuse of Scarecrow (Cillian Murphy is creepy as hell) and Bale's voice when he's Batman. Other than that, its amazing.

i loved him as batman, he deepend the voice to do the batman voice and fucking nailed it (in my opinion) .. this is the batman movie i've been waiting for my whole life. i'm a huge batman geek - and this one REALLY nailed what the character is all about..
Dude, I'm with you. Grew up loving Burton's two films and watching the cartoon. I was a bit wary of this because on Batman: The Animated Series I always hated the character of Ras Al-Ghul. He was handled decently, but I can't wait to see how Nolan handles the next film's key villian (you know who I mean) because, if executed properly, the new villian can be scary as shit.

Cillian Murphy was great as Scarecrow. He had the look, the insanity, and damn was that mask creepy. Why wasn't he in the movie more?

[Starman]

damn thats good..michael keaton has always been my favorite batman would you say he topped him??


yes. In every possible way.

[Jared Kaufman]

I definitely agree with Tate; best comic book movie ever (and I love the two X-Men films). I loved the acting, the angles, the fighting sequences, the color, texture, costumes, storyline, etc. Cillian Murphy (Scarecrow) was by far my favorite. I just wish he was utilized a lot more. I just love that style of acting and charisma to a villian. I, at first, didn't like Bale's voice while under the mask, but then I realized they probably wanted it that way; it pretty much fit the voice you'd expect to hear in the comic book / graphic novel were it to speak. Man, this is one intense movie (i.e. the visuals for Scarecrow's weapon; stunning). This blows Spider-Man away. Btw, everyone cheered at the end of it in my showing. And, I definitely agree about the ending. Stellar. I'll probably go see it again today and I already can't wait for the next installment.

Batman is my Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, etc. and I can say I'm very well-pleased.

[elemenohpe]

I probably won't be seeing it today just because I have plans.

But when I do go see it, it will be at an IMAX theater hopefully.

It'll be fucking sweet. All I'll see is Batman... no annoying cell phones out of the corner of my eye. Just Batman.

The same goes for Willy Wonka when it gets released. IMAX all the way.

[FrancesdaMute]

well...best comic book movie ever. why? lets see...the director, chris nolan, yeah he did a lil movie called momento, which is also one of my favorite movies. the whole approach to this movie was correct--from start to finish. choosing bale as batman just made sense...notice how the scenes from the beginning how he was so much smaller? filmed during the time of the machinist during which he lost 60lbs....then later on you see him and he is fully in kickass mode. wonderful acting too....which i cant really say about my other favorite movie of the year *cough* star wars *cough* great use of technology/science to explain everything. loved the plot to take over gotham...wasnt some stupid scheme, actually had some validity to it. my ONE problem, SPOILER--


since i happen to be a sciene/tech kid, was the fact that the microwave machine would vaporized the water in anything...human cells...plants...everything. and that amount of radiation typically generates a flash...so people wouldnt really care about going crazy from the toxic but more about the layer of skin/tissue that was just vaporized...

STILL...awesome movie. how PERFECT wast he ending!!!? AMAZING
"wanted for armed robbery and double homicide...he leaves a calling card" goose bumps man.

[SLADE775]

Im seein this tonight!!


Tates got me all excited about it now.

Remember this?

As soon as he said armed robbery/double homicide, I got giddy as hell. Nolan's take on that villian (my favorite Batman villian) will be stunning.

[bnizzle182]

Just a quick bit of info...

For those of you who think this movie is a prequel, it is not. This movie was meant to restart the series and you are basically to believe the other movies do not exist.

Hopefully the rumors of two more Batman's turns out to be truth...cause 2 more of these movies will make my movie life meaningful now that Star Wars is done.

2 more :love:

I just hope they keep this cast........cause man did that fuck things up with the last series.

[sell the sunris]

and fucking Serenity!!!! (Firefly movie)

this moving blew me away. Everything was fantastic, sucks that there wasnt the rumored new Green Day songs, but still, the cast, direction, and story were all sensational. Bale is the best man to take up the dual role, and certainly the best Bruce Wayne by a landslide. I'll be seeing this at least three more times.

hahahaha If green day would of had anything to do with this movie, I would be fucking disgusted.

[arizonahotrock]

Yeah, I couldn't agree more...except for one little addition...they HAVE to keep Christopher Nolan as director...his choice to sparingly use CGI and go back to traditional special fx was such a great call. I heard in an interview that they chose to do that because Batman is human, and they didn't want him doing things that would be impossible for a human to do. Very impressed, and I'm really glad they are taking the comic book route and just restarting everything.

Oh...and I thought they had very well placed and well done humor additions. Wasn't too much and it certainly wasn't too cheesy.

[JoeT]

I went to a midnight show yesterday and suprisingly it wasn't as packed as star wars and spider-man was but it didn't matter. The movie was probably not only the best Batman movie but the best movie I've seen in a while. So metaphorical and moving. I get chills during multiple parts just watching the whole tale unfold itself. Simply stunning.

[actionandaction]

I'm going tonight. Woo!

[iamJimmyJazz]

even better than the hulk? or punisher? hard to believe. seriously though, i'm pretty excited about seeing this movie despite the fact that i was never a dc fan as a kid and not too hip to the bad man goings-on.

I havent even seen this yet and I can promise you that it's a better film.

christian bale is a highly underrated actor. check out the machinist and equilibrium (and of course, american psycho) if you like this flick.

It's true.
I also heard that they were thinking about casting Crispin Glover as the Joker, which would be amazing since he fits the original jokers description. He's tall, lanky, has the long face, and is pretty fucking creepy.

This movie was amazing. I'm going to go see it again today.

[TheChariotRacer]

how was morgan freeman in it?

[Jared Kaufman]

how was morgan freeman in it?
Typical Morgan Freeman. He's not a heavy hitter or anything. He's pretty much the equivalent to "Q" in the James Bond films.

[SLADE775]

okay.....sarcastic guy.

way to go.

[bradsonemanband]

this movie was total kickass

[iamJimmyJazz]

haha. billy joel? casualties? almost the same thing.

[CrucifiedHeart]

This is a must see movie ASAP!!! Hands down the best Batman movie in my opinion and Bale is the best Batman. OF course this movie is also called Batman Begins so its much more directly and pretty much all about Batman where the other movies included more backstory to the villains.
They really break it down on so many psychological levels and give you so many friggin explanations and reasons for why Batman becomes Batman, and why he can become nothing else.

Its such an amazing movie and really really raises the bar on comic book movies simply because its not really a good comic book movie as it as a good movie that happens to be based on a comic book. While the Hulk seemed liked it had the most drama in it, Batman Begins has the drama that you actually care about and its never boring.

As for the "Batman voice", at first I thought it was kinda funny too, but then I realized that he is clearly just hiding his identity and makes alot of sense and then I was surprised that no other director has thought of this. I mean, when we talk about secret identities, ........Robin's mask is pretty...useless...and what about Superman.....dude takes off his friggin glasses and no one recognizes him??!?!? come onn!!!

The focus on style and mood and how Batman moves is just awesome. It goes with the whole intimidating legend element and the fear theme. Instead of overchoreographed fight sequences and CGs up the asshole, Nolan kept the humanity in the movie and kept it realistic in its own sense (as opposed to say the last Matrixes for example).


Ok I've said way too much. GO SEE IT!!!!

[Slovo]

I think the most underrated character in this discussion is Michael Caine as Alfred. Solid performance from Caine as always, and his dry wit brings some humor into the film.

[FrancesdaMute]

i cant wait to see this in imax in philly....its gotta be friggin cool.

[HailTheHartBrak]

You guys convinced me, i guess its fandango time.

[CsManiac]

I'm seeing it today. Can't wait!

uhmm well there was that one line where batman like speeds past gordan.. and gordan says something like. "I gotta get me one of those" ugh that was cheesy to the max!!! i am alittle confused though because i could of sworn the joker killed bruce's parents. I may be rusty on my batman but in the first batman does the person who kills the wayne's say something like... do u ever see the devil dancing in the moonlight. or something like that????? hmm I coulda sworn that the joker killed the wayne's.

that was a HUGE contention point of batman fans about "batman 1" (burton's batman in 1989) .. Joe Chill killed batman's parents.. that's how the comic book read. Burton changed it for his movie .. which I was very disapointed about -- this is movie (begins) is very, very, true to the comic book. And i'm stoaked to finally have a backstory explaing the suit, cave, gadgets, etc.

[UrOwNdISaStR180]

Yeah this restarts the series, I'm a little worried about the next one though because a certain actor dominated that role. I hear they're signed for 3 after this

That is just sick how much they fit, I just hope he can pull it off in the same style Jack because Jack's performance was absolutely amazing in the first one... Both dark and hysterical

And where is the Batman? He's at home washing his tights ::maniacal laugh::

lol Priceless

[Jason Tate]

Are you kidding? I'm fucking GLAD Green Day didn't touch this movie -- the last thing I want is some Emo-bullshit-has-been band all over this Godly movie.
I agree completely .. I was worried the soundtrack (played during the movie) would be rap/rock/or lame .. they kept it perfect with classical scores and it really added the punch.

[So.It.Goes.]

The great thing about this Batman movie is it took the theme of fear, and really made a well organized argument through Batman, instead of the other way around. IT took Batman and the story apart to make sure that they were developed correctly. The writing was perfectly dark and deep for a comic book story,and while not ground-breaking the dialogue was perfectly executed. This is going to be the first of many of this Batman series, not only because of the teaser, but because of the perfect unison of everyone on the project, and the great first chapter that Batman Begins was in explaining every essential aspect with style, meaning, and care.
*The voice of Bale threw me off slightly as well, but like others I figured it was just to disguise his alter ego's voice, Bruce Wayne, from Batman. Bale as Bruce Wayne was perfect though, in every aspect of his character development and emotion. There is reason behind his playboy image, his desire for justice, and this film depicted the man inside the Bat.

[yanggoh]

just got home from seeing it, it's best superhero movie i've ever seen.

anyone else excited for Superman Returns next summer?

[CorporateFish]

I'm seeing it in a few hours..it had better not ruin the others..

[jawkneephighv]

I'm seeing it in a few hours..it had better not ruin the others..
How can that be possible? This one has nothing to do with all other Batman movies, buddy.

[duffe]

a lot of people says that movie rules.

[TaySavesTheDay]

Thanks for no spoilers yet... I've been reading cautiously and am so excited to see it tonight. The movie seems perfect. I'm excited.

[January1979]

i loved him as batman, he deepend the voice to do the batman voice and fucking nailed it (in my opinion) .. this is the batman movie i've been waiting for my whole life. i'm a huge batman geek - and this one REALLY nailed what the character is all about..

Hell yes. a million times hell yes.

[Handsome&Smart]

I have always been a Marvel Comics dude and I loved the X-men and Spiderman :spidey: movies, but this one sounds pretty good. I will still always think its lame that Batman has no superpowers though.

[JTrain12]

ok i was a little confused, i havent seen the movie yet, but by lookin at the previews and then learnin its from when Batman started, i was like hmm how is it that the technology is better for when he started...but if its not a prequel then i understand...

[GAD_guy]

saw it last night at midnignt. it was pretty good.

[HailTheHartBrak]

Just got back from the movies. wow that movies was indeed stunning. i thought it was flawless.

[CorporateFish]

Wow..batman pwned

[1Roth4]

just got home from the movie.. best batman of all time!!... fucking unbeleivable.

go see it

Absolutley right. All of the other batman movies had some sort of corny plot along with pointless dialogue. This was the shit, and Christian Bale indeed nailed the batman. I understand this is way off the subject, but seeing how this is a music site I will go ahead and ask.... did anyone else think that the doctor for the insane asylum looked just like Tyson from the All American Rejects. Anyway, this was one of the best movies I have seen in a while.

[LPMagic]

First off, a disclaimer: I'm not a comic buff. I don't know my Michael Keaton from George Clooney Batmans, partly because comics were not a part of my childhood, partly because I'm only 20 and wasn't old enough to get into the movies from the get go, and partly because I'm lame. But I have seen the Batman movies at one point or another, and this is by far my favorite. It's dark, good acting (especially certain actors), great special effects, and void of cheesy/lame humor. By the way, the back story of Batman is great.

[xsavesthelinex]

this movie was fucking horrible: Shitty story, no character development, just plain awful. Christian Bale was awesome in American Psycho tho...

[Don Trump]

It was pretty damn awesome. Michael Caine is an awesome actor. He played Alfred well.

by far the best batman movie...im a mazed and i actually like bat man now

by far the best batman movie...im a mazed and i actually like bat man now


simply put: your a moron

[absolutecrunk]

this movie was awesome: orchestrated score throughout, good story explanation, and well-choreographed fight sequences.
HOWEVER i still have to say Bale as Batman < Bale as BATEMAN!!

Batman Begins is hands down the best movie of 2005. i fucking loved this movie. this movie blows Spiderman, X-Men, and any other super hero flicks out of the water. Bale is the mother fucking man. everything about this movie was spot on with the comics. Batman Begins is a fucking masterpiece.

does it work when you use the wrong kind of "your" while calling someone stupid?

Good job... MORAN.

I agree with you for once ;) haha...

just got back and was more than impressed. This movie was brilliant.

[jawkneephighv]

this movie was fucking horrible: Shitty story, no character development, just plain awful. Christian Bale was awesome in American Psycho tho...
Wow, dumbass. Where were you the first part of the movie where we learned about FEAR? How it made him into Batman, how he used it against his enemies, how his enemies were planning to use it to destroy Gotham -- ahh forget it, I just noticed somebody already clowned on your ass.

My favorite movie of the year so far. They finally got it right. Nolan said in an interview, if they do a second one, he kinda wants to toy with the Long Halloween story...which can be done.


Spoiler Alert?:





If Falcone got over the fear Toxin, they can DEFINITELY do The Long Halloween. Nolan said he would have Harvey Dent in the story and turn him to Two-Face at the end of the movie, like in Long Halloween. The Joker also has a big part in that story. If you haven't read it, go to the bookstore and sit in there and read it or buy it. Buy all the books Time Sale and Jeph Loeb worked on together. Fucking amazing.

Very fine flim. Not even for a comic book story, but for a film, period.

[mewithoutyou]

Wow talk about characters serving the story and not the other way around. This film was probably the best film I have ever watched in theatres. 3 hours of action packed into 2 hours of screentime.

that was a HUGE contention point of batman fans about "batman 1" (burton's batman in 1989) .. Joe Chill killed batman's parents.. that's how the comic book read. Burton changed it for his movie .. which I was very disapointed about -- this is movie (begins) is very, very, true to the comic book. And i'm stoaked to finally have a backstory explaing the suit, cave, gadgets, etc.

Yeah, I thought that was super rad. They actually showed all of that taking place instead of it all just appearing. I also liked how they portrayed him as human and how he actually got injured and how he didn't always "win" if you know what I mean.

[Fury15]

question to all the comic bookers.... in the book, does the man who kills bruce's parents become the joker or is that just in the movie?

[ethicka]

Not only was that movie amazing... but Katie Holmes actually did a decent job acting! Props to Michael Caine and Morgan Freedman for their kickin' supporting roles. I'm so fucking glad that everyone has signed up for at least two more Batman's. That means they may be able to clean up the shit that Joel Schumaker produced.

[War on errorism]

i want to see it again. the music is sick also.

[buysoap]

im a huge spidey fan, so i think that all the people that didn't like spidey 2 are morons because that movie was fuckign amazing...

but batman begins was totally bad ass. it was awesome that they took such a weak villain as scarecrow and made him totall yamazing.

[topdownseatback]

this is not that incredible of a movie folks...liam neeson wasn't too good. cillian and christian were. gordon had a ton of cheesy lame lines, and pretty much the entire last 30-45 minutes was a huge action movie cliche. I would give the movie a B and say that it bodes well for the future of the franchise...especially if the crispin glover rumor is true.
