Batman Begins: looking to be THE Batman movie.

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby Chitown on June 15th, 2005, 1:11 am
Early reviews are in from the top critics including Ebert and Roeper and the reviews are positive.

This looks to be the Batman movie to top all the other recent installations. Reason being is because we actually find out how Bruce Wayne became Batman. This movie focuses more on a story instead of the superhero battling villians.

Looking forward to my 7pm showing.

yeah, but, for the next two, they're looking to bring back the Joker, Two-Face, and someone else whose name I've forgotten, which essentially negates the previous Batman films.

And we all know whatever the critics say must be true ;).

But I will probably see this movie, I have always liked the Batman movies and im glad they made another one.

Hopefully the new movie will inspire TVLand to start playing the old Batman episodes again, I used to love watching them late at night. Found them hillarious.

Christopher Nolan did a great job with Memento, and I'm sure Batman Begins deserves its good reviews. It'll be great to see the scenes of Chicago as Gotham City.

Two sequels, pending the success of Batman Begins, are already planned in the works. The long-stalled Batman vs. Superman film is also awaiting a green-light, pending next year's Superman Returns.

Great movie. Absolutely better than the other installations.

This actually told a story and it did it well. The few action scenes in the movie were spectacular. The new batmobile as I always thought from pictures being kick-ass, lived up to it.

And yes, the Joker card was shown to Bruce Wayne at the end of the movie. I just thought it brought the series up to the first installation with Michael Keaton.

Will probably see it again this weekend with my daughter. It was that good.

Good movie, although I've never seen any of the other Batman movies all the way through. The film score kicks butt in this movie. Definatly one of the better movies I've seen this year.

Oh, HOLY LORD, is Katie Holmes HOT!

It was so cool!!!!!!! One flaw. When bruce was in his batman costume he talked like he was constapated! It was halarious, otherwise that was one of my favorites movies ever! Scarecrow was sooooooo awesome, and i cant wait to see the next movie, you can tell there will another movie because of the joker card at the end.

No, there probably won't be another movie, since this is a prequel of the first Batman movie with the Joker as the villian.

I heard the IMAX version wasn't all that good. my friend went to see it in both IMAX and 35 mil and said the 35 mil was better. I can understand his point too, since the film was cut with fast action sequences which are hard to process in the IMAX format.

For the sequel, reports are surfacing that Katie Holmes has been dropped from the cast. Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman are signed on.

From PageSix and a WB spokesperson: "She won't be in the sequel, the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the Joker rather than Katie and Tom."
