[Prican25]

just came from the midnight showing of batman begins (making a habit of midnight debuts heh) and we finally get a batman movie thats right next to the first.

 

i won't spoil anything as its 3 am right now and i just wanted to tell fans of batman that its definitely worth the ticket and theres a nice surprise in the end

[Ryuken]

[suvo]

[BlackKnight]

I wouldn't expect a lot from this movie, but I'm surprised to hear these good reviews. I'll have to give it a go now.

You're a faggot.

 

Anyway, I'll be seeing this on Saturday since no one is free till then. I WANT TO SEE IT NOW!! I hate not seeing movies on opening day.

I'm pretty sure that this Batman kicks major ass, however... it won't premiere here yet. WHY?! This happens with every movie, unless it's the new Marix, the new Star Wars or the new LOTR. Faggots.

[solidius23]

Movie was great, it did what it was supposed to do by telling the story of how batman came to be and it did a damn good job.

[Inky]

I really want to see this maybe I'll head out and see it today or tomarrow.

no. 1 thing that sucks about where I live. it's an hour to the nearest movie theater or mall.

I haven't seen it, but after seeing previews of it I have mixed feelings. I don't get the "Batman" vibe from it...

[Gryph]

I'm getting lots of Batman vibes from it.

Just saw it, and it's quite good. Definately a giant reset-button for the "series" if you can call the movies that. It treated both heroes and villians with respect, even moreso than Burton, and something Schumacher can't even pretend to have done. It had its share of campy one-liners, but they didn't often overpower the dark feel of the film.

 

I had a few minor gripes, but they are all nitpicks really. They wrote a little too much new material into the history for my tastes. The actor who plays Thomas Wayne doesn't have a strong enough "presence" for his crucial part. There was something not-quite-right about the actor chosen for Alfred as well (not skinny enough, I think, and the hair..). With the mask on, Bale looks a little too much like Jay Leno.

 

On the other hand, there were a few pleasant surprises. I know Gary Oldman is an excellent actor, but I just couldn't see him as Gordon. He pulls it off perfectly, however, and instantly brings to mind the young Gordon from Year One. The car is a little obtrusive, and it doesn't really look batman-y, but its not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Al-Ghul's Lazarus pits are handled gracefully, and in a way that should please fans while not turning away mainstream audiences. Al-Ghul and Scarecrow are both very well acted - I was afraid Watanabe was going to look silly, but he pulls it off perfectly.

 

Now, I just hope they forget all about the older films and make the sequel that this one begs for with as much respect.

I'm going today, should I go to see it in IMAX or a regular theater? I've never seen an IMAX film before. lemme know quick!

[Gryph]

IMAX!! IMAX! Imax flocking rules.

 

I wish our closest Imax was playing it but nooo they have to play some under the sea 3D crap.
