I thought the backstory was done very well and realistically. Bale's performance was great, I thought the voice he used as Batman was a good move. Nolan is a great director and I love his interpretation of Batman.
Sorry about that. Well, it might've been bwind22, but it doesn't really matter.

By exact definition it's a prequel, but since Begins and the films to come have no relation to the other four, I don't consider it a prequel.

The new Star Wars films tell the story of the events that lead to the rule of the empire and the rebellion that takes place in 'A New Hope', that's what a prequel is. Batman Begins has a different story, different characters, and most notable, the Joker is just showing up. It's not really a prequel rather than a new start. Just my opinion.

you wish it was me, posher. i didn't hate the movie... just didn't like it and didn't understand why everyone was sucking its dick. i thought it was better than the 3rd and 4th, but not worthy of comparison to the 1st and 2nd.

The first Tim Burton Batman movie is, in my opinion, the definitive one. I liked that waaaaay better than Batman Begins.

I did not like Batman Returns very much at all & Batman Forever & Batman and Robin were downright terrible, so I'd rank Batman Begins as the #3 Batman movie of all time...

That's right, I said it. #3! Batman Begins is slightly less entertaining the Batman The Movie, starring Adam West.

Batman
Batman The Movie
Batman Begins
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman & Robin



That's how I'd rank the Batman movies in terms of overall enjoyability. I'm sure it's not a very popular order, but what do I care....

Anyways, The Matrix is a better action movie than any of them, hands down.

I wouldn't say love but I enjoyed it.

Empire of the Sun- Great movie.
Newsies- Average, fun flick.
Swing Kids- Same as Newsies but a little better.
American Psycho- Great movie.
Equilibrium- Great movie.
The Machinist- Great movie.
Batman Begins- Great movie.

Looking forward to seeing the rest and I'll be in the theatre opening night of The Prestige.


As far as the Batman list...

Batman Begins - Batman
Batman Returns
Batman Forever

That's not an impressive filmography to me.

Empire of the Sun- Never saw it
Newsies- Never saw it
Swing Kids- Gay
American Psycho- Great movie.
Equilibrium- Over-rated Matrix rip off. Still decent action film though.
The Machinist- I found it boring.
Batman Begins- It was cool.


I think Batman Begins, The Machinist, American Psycho & Equilibrium are all over-rated quite a bit, especially at this site. American Psycho & Batman are still very cool movies, just not as great as they are touted to be.




Return... SEE the Adam West version!!! It's got some of the cheesiest lines in film history!

You're entitled to your opinion, an opinion that obviously isn't to high on Bale and/or his career. I on the other hand, along with alot of people on and outside of this site think very highly of him and his career. I'm not saying you're wrong because you're going against the majority on the subject, that would just be stupid, I was just pointing out that he is well liked elsewhere.

It's all opinions, non of which are right or wrong, just personal preference, so hey, whatever the fuck the ever.

I agree.

The Batman list, the Bale list... my sentiments exactly (except for Swing Kids which I haven't seen so I'd replace with Reign of Fire on that list).
