4 out of 5 stars Serious batman    January 7, 2009
The Lou
In this latest batman installment forgot the past because it's dead. Director Chris Nolan takes this genre into a new direction. Christian Bale is spot on as a believable gritty force that literally puts fear into criminals. All other actors' delivery honorable performances expect for Katie Holmes who is flat from start to finish.
No campy one liners and cheesy fight scenes in this blockbuster. The fighting is hard hitting and visceral. The writing is original and full of laughs. This isn't a story where you can guess what is going to happen next. You're taken on a ride and when it stops you'll be begging for more.

Side Note: Isn't a comic book movie but a great action/drama based on a comic book movie. Good flick whether or not fans of the comic book.

4 out of 5 stars Great price on a good movie    January 6, 2009
Andrew (Kansas)
I bought this movie for basically the same price it would have cost me to rent it, so I cannot complain. I am not going to offer you a review of the movie, there are better places to find that; I am just going to recommend that, if you like this movie or think you might like this movie at all, it is better to buy it at this price then to rent it for a buck less.


5 out of 5 stars Top Notch Batman Movie    January 3, 2009
TDM (Colorado Springs, CO)
I haven't seen the Dark Night yet and in order to get what is happening in that movie I decided to watch Batman Begins. I never really wanted to see this movie even though I have been a big Batman fan over the years. However when I finally put the DVD in to watch it I was gripped from the first moment of the movie.

This movie is by far the best Batman I have ever seen. Christian Bale gives an incredible performance. Katie Holmes as usual is so-so but she was better in this movie than most others I have seen here in. This movie is 2 hours and twenty minutes and my interest was kept the entire time. The action shots can get a little rough and Batman's voice is weird but there is nothing else about this movie I would have wanted better. I am so glad I finally watched this movie and hopefully you do too.


5 out of 5 stars A Great Beginning to Blu-Ray    January 3, 2009
Tyler S. (Brentwood, CA United States)
This was my first blu-ray and it certainly started off my new PS3 with a bang! The High Definition quality is outstanding and it really proved to me the power of my HD-TV. As for the Disk as a Blu-ray its awesome.

The movie by itself is groundbreaking for the Batman series. This reboot really saved the falling franchise after Schumacher. The combination of David Goyer and Chris Nolan writing the film really serves the most justice. The story is so original and fresh compared to the previous films. The acting comes at a close second. The all-star cast really pulls through and delivers real mortal lives. Christian Bale is a fantastic Batman and Michael Caine makes an even better Alfred. Our villains are well rounded but I wanted to see more of Scarecrow. I thought the idea was great to have him in this film and I was kinda longing for more. However, the film is a blast and any normal human being should find some enjoyment out of it.

The special features are pretty interesting. The behind the scenes clips are fun, and the In-movie commentary is cool enough. Pretty much has your basic special features.

If you own a Blu-ray player you gotta pick up this flick. No collection will be complete without it.
