BATMAN BEGINS - finally, we get a GREAT Batman movie!
And not just a great Batman movie but a great film! I was in awe at how fantastic this movie was that I saw it twice in IMAX! The acting, direction, pacing, f/x, set design, etc. . . . all top notch.The film is an "action film" but also very thought-provoking and inspiring. The world of "Batman Begins" is so real and believable, yet fantastical enough to sweep you away. Comical at times, yet frighteningly horrific at times. Lots of twists and turns with plenty of characters for all kinds of sub-plots. I'm amazed they packed it with so much and still kept it moving right along. I'm curious to see an "extended cut" should one ever become available. Pay attention to the little details for some "answers" to lingering questions.Looked and sounded awesome on the big screen; I expect it to hold up well on a nice DVD home theater set-up. So, if you haven't seen it yet, see it! Just make sure it is not on a tiny TV or laptop, etc.I can't imagine how a sequel to this film could compete as this was one tough act to follow. I did read a few negative reviews on here and quite frankly, I have to shake my head at those. I'm a tough critic myself that typically loathes Hollywood garbage but how could you not think this movie is AT LEAST pretty decent? Did we see the same film?! Anyway, 95% of the reviews all over the world about this film are very positive so that should speak volumes.Batman - ok, decentBatman Returns - not very goodBatman Forver - barely passableBatman and Robin - awful, unwatchableBatman Begins - INCREDIBLE!Kudos to the cast and crew of BATMAN BEGINS!
