Batman Does Begin...
Well - you could label me a little biased - seeing how I am a die-hard Batman fan; however here's what I think of the movie...1 - The original movie, is, no-doubt, as people dub it - 'the definitive Batman film', and a masterpiece, and without any second thoughts - thee BEST movie of 2005, speaking of ALL movies of 2005. It's story can touch anyone, since it's an origin film, and people don't need to know a thing about Batman, and still discover him in this movie.2 - The deluxe edition - yeah, there are loads of special features, which I watched all in two to three days; and it's all interesting, amusing (in some cases), and worthwhile. The reason I dock a star off, is because I wish they had more cast interviews about the story, they often talked about stunts in the movie, talking with the Director, but you never really hear all that much what they think of their character, or how they tried to "tap into" an already previous made character...3 - Another reason for docking a star, is because there's no commentary; I don't listen to commentaries that much, but seeing how Batman Begins is my "NEW FAVORITE MOVIE", I'd like to hear at least Christopher Nolan's (and perhaps David S. Goyer - a screenwriter, and Christian Bale, or another actor) comments on scene to scene...However, Batman Begins is worth the buy - if you aren't as die hard as a fan I am, at least just buy the standard, trimmed DVD with the movie...- Kevin R.-K.
