What is your opinion on the movie Batman Begins?

Batman is just a money making conglomerate.  It doesn't matter who's playing Batman, they know people will go and see it.  Also, I think that there is a craze for super heroe flicks, and if they can bring back Superman, why not Batman?  Twenty years from now if they make a good Batman movie, people will line up to see it because it's Batman.\n\nI did think that it was the best Batman to date.  Finally, they decided just to start over from scratch, which I don't think is a bad idea considering that the last two Batman movies sucked, except for the part played by Robin.  I think they really need to think this through when they decide to make their sequel and not just be another movie to break bank accounts.

Bradley P - that is one super answer!\n\nI put comics down for a while and started reading again. Suddenly I was hit with this post/pre/continuity stuff. Since I prefer to read in whatever order suits my mood - I dismissed the research as it would have gotten in the way anyway. Thanks for the summary.\n- - -\nI actually thought the new Superman was ok. Bullet in the eye was cool. Lifting small Island composed of Kryptonite - not bad.. Him getting beat up on the kryptonite island was similar to when the old superman gets beat up in the diner (in front of the old Lois).\n\nI just really disliked the plot. He comes back, DC's love story of the ages is shot to hell because Lois is with another guy (classy...) - plus he has a kid whose life he may never be a part of (very nice). Now you add Luthor as the villian again (I'm tired of this guy already), throw in tired old kryptonite because they couldn't come up with anything else (not a little, a whole continent this time). Sigh...\n\nI say both these supermen should get together and smash the people responsible for putting this film together. After they are done, then they could fight eachother:-)\n\nThe Old Superman wins..

Yes, that was an amazing movie. Of course, I'm a little bit biased on this opinion. I am a serious fan of Neil Gaiman (the writer of the script for the movie) since he wrote the Sandman comics (I love all of his novels as well), and the fact that Dave McKean directed it (he did a lot of the Sandman's artwork) just made it an even sweeter movie ...but, without any bias, it was a very very good movie indeed!

I thought it was an excellent film, but it's also about 45 minutes too long.  Unfortunately, those extra 45 minutes don't add anything to the plot line, there's just a lot of scenes that drag on.  Also, a few more flashbacks would have been nice, perhaps in the style of Batman Begins.   In the end, there's only so much that can be done with a guy that's essentially invincible.  The ending is also a bit anti-climactic.  I will say this; Brandon Routh did a fantastic job.

i like the dark knight... batman because he knows all the metahumans and non-metahumans pwers and how to exploit them. he suffered setbacks inhis life but that has never stopped him from kicking butt. \n\nbutthe question is is batman real and bruce wayne is the alter ego or is it the other way around?

I rented it by chance and I thought it was great! Very good! I thought it was going to be another Hollywood action film, but it was not. Pretty violent. Some fucked up characters. etc... (don't want to spoil the film)

I liked the movie, but it wasn't as original as the first three films. My favorite so far is the second movie. The movie mostly spoofs War of the Worlds and the Grudge. The movie leastly spoofs Saw, Saw II, Red Eye, The Village, and Million Dollar Baby. \n\nHope you like it!

I liked it but agree it wasn't as good as the original with\nJohn Travolta and Olivia Newton John.\nI liked Maxwell Caufield(who played the exchange student.)\n\nI would say that it was definitely a bust.

Don't feel bad.  I thought it was complete rubbish, and I loved the other two movies and a lot of the series of comic books.  \nSeriously, what was that?  It was over-dramatized and not a single character was developed.  They introduced all of these really cool mutants and then didn't talk about them at all.  \nI was pissed.

The movie was good. It was well-done and directed attention to interesting aspects of discrimination. \n\nThe song performance at the oscar was however not so great.

I liked it. Together with the success of the Blade and Spiderman, it led to a resurgence of comic-book themes. Looking forward to the next film called X-Men the last Stand.\nIMDb users have rated it as 7.3 out of 10 so other people like it as well.

The comic is awesome, but the movie isn't THAT good.  Sorry, but while the special effects and whatnot in the movie really did kick some butt, I feel that other comic book movies really outshone Hellboy.  Examples?  Spider-man, Spider-man II, X-men, Sin City, Batman Begins, The Crow to name a few.  \n\nDon't get me wrong!  I think Hellboy was better than Daredevil, Punisher, Hulk and some of the others out there!

It doesn't bother me, as long as the actor replacing the original is decent.  I believe James Bond fans love Roger Moore as much as Sean Connery.  Christian Bale was the best Batman on film, and I loved the first Batman!  I will see Superman, and if I can enjoy myself watching a man fly and lift heavy stuff, who cares that the original (who would have been WAY to old had he lived) isn't there in the tights?  Not me!

I thought the movie was great. I had a blend of cultures mixed with drama. It had you thinkig who was really the bad guy. But there is bad in us all. I thought it was one of the best films last year.

Yup! You want my quick-and-dirty review?\n\nI quite liked it. The visuals were amazing, and all the creatures gave me the shivers. The cinematography was pretty spectacular as well. There were a few issues I had with it; the characters did dumb things in order to speed up the pace, and the whole premise seemed rather improbable (well, I guess it makes more sense once you watch the rest of the movie, but when I saw the beginning I thought "yeah, right"). Also, the climax didn't really interest me. It was certainly gruesome, but it really wasn't scary. Some of the lines were silly as well.\n\nSo, to sum up: it's a good movie, but it needs to be parodied. PRONTO.
