Batman Begins

[Immortal Goat]

Best Batman movie EVER. Best superhero movie EVER. PERIOD.

Everything was perfect. Fuck continuity with the original movie, it stomps it to dust. Everything in this movie just works. It is Batman bliss.

Seriously, I have been waiting all my life to see this movie. Batman has been my favorite hero since I was 5, and this movie vindicates all my years hoping that there will be another quality Batman experience to be had.

Do yourselves a favor and watch this movie as soon as you can. You won't regret it.

[eggyolk]

Went to the midnight showing. It did not disappoint. I went into the movie thinking Scarecrow was going to play a bigger part than he did, so a little resentment there, but overall it was a fantastic movie.

[Dole]

Glad to hear someone liked it - all the reviews I have read so far say its rubbish. Will deffo go and see it.

[Spectre X]

All of the reviews saying it's rubbish are written by retards.

The New Yorker's reviewer failed to see the connection between Batman and martial arts.

Variety chastised it for being too serious for a movie based on a 'cartoon character'.

[Geggy]

i'm very excited about this movie, considering that batman 1989 was my all time favorite.

[Immortal Goat]

That movie WAS my favorite, but now this one has replaced it. It is that good.

[MetalMilitia]

I heard it sucks.

[Immortal Goat]

I have read one bad review of it, and it's biggest complaint is that it doesn't have enough "jokes" in it. Everyone else loved it. This movie makes Batman believable. Gotham is no longer a stylized monolithic fantasy world, it is New York gone insane. This movie is all about fear, and it shows it well. Hell, one scene looked exactly like a zombie movie.

So in short, don't trust the ONE source that said it sucked, because their complaint was retarded.

[N00bKill3R]

If you want jokes and silly antics go see spiderman... I'm glad they are making these movies more serious. I'm going to see this TONIGHT and I can't wait!

[Immortal Goat]

I'm seing it again tonight. It is definitely good enough for that. Hickman's coming, too, so he'll be able to tell you how good it is as well.

[ziggytrix]

I heard it sucks.

I heard you suck.

[MetalMilitia]

Well just goes to show you cant believe everything you hear!

[ziggytrix]

Dallas Morning News' reviewer gave the new Batman flick a B+, but I give MetalMilitia a C-. :(

[Rongi]

A C- is very generous

[Bell E. Laffs]

Metal Milita sucks, that's my score!

[James]

From real people who have seen this movie (not critics) I've heard nothing but good things about this movie. Not just good, but great.

[Immortal Goat]

Just saw it a second time, and it still holds up. I am definitely buying this movie the day it comes out.

[ItalianStereotype]

anybody who says this movie sucks is going to earn a personal ball smashing from me :o

holy shit, fear toxin. the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a batman movie.

[AChimp]

I'm gonna go see this on the weekend. :O

[Geggy]

Because of this thread, my expectations for this movie has exceeded greatly to an all time high. So this movie better not disappoint, immortal goat, or I will go all kapow-like on you >:

[Immortal Goat]

Unless you are expecting God himself to jack you off in the theater seats while you watch, I don't think this movie will dissapoint.

[HickMan]

I thought the movie was really good. I don't know if it's the BEST superhero movie of all time...I've still got a chubby from the orignal Superman..but that's just me. Batman Begins still rocked my socks though. Quiet possibly the best superhero movie since Superman though.

My only gripe with the movie is how Christian Bale forced the gruff voice towards the end.

[darkvare]

if i dislike batman is it a good idea to see it?

[HickMan]

i dunno

[darkvare]

then why you answered?

[HickMan]

postcount :/

[Mockery]

Anybody want to review this movie for the site? I'm looking to feature it on the main page come Sunday night, and the one person that already submitted a review is probably still eating paste.

If so, just drop me a note and submit the review here:

Thankee :o

[Immortal Goat]

Submitted a review for ya, Rog. Hope that helps.

that's totally part of being batman. any GOOD batman doesn't have the same voice as bruce wayne.

[HickMan]

But it sounds so funny when he does it. He does the lip twist thing and it just sounds odd :/

[ItalianStereotype]

get online so I can yell at you.

[Immortal Goat]

I have to agree, at least in part, with Hickman. Every once in a while it did seem a little forced, particularly when he said

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.

He just emphasized the oo in "do" a little strangely. Otherwise, I loved him in this role.

[N00bKill3R]

This is one of the best movies I've seen in such a long time (superhero movies at least). Dark = good. Also I know exactly what you mean about his voice, it almosted sounded he was having trouble keeping that way for more than like 3 words, ADR maybe?

[the_dudefather]

that movie was frikken awesome :) :)

GO SEE NOW

[El Blanco]

The bad reviews I've read seem to be pissed its not Momento II.


Ya, no shit. This is an icon of Amrican culture that goes back further than the studio that made it, never mind the friggin director. It better not be Momento II.


I loved it. I can't tell express how brilliant I think it is with mere words. I wish you could all see the DNA evidence I left all over the theater.

I admit, I was worried about the Batmobile in the early pictures. I was affraid it was too tank-like. Not a problem. It was awesome.

I love the "calling card" at the end.

Liam Neeson is the fucking man.

[Emu]

huh, you don't say

[Rongi]

i thought it was awesome!

[DeadKennedys]

I may not have seen it yet, but you can't beat a movie with the line "We're like Beauty and the Beast. But if anyone else calls you Beast, I'll rip their throat out," and a soundtrack composed by prince.

[Rongi]

if that was an insult to prince, fuck you

[Immortal Goat]

I may not have seen it yet, but you can't beat a movie with the line "We're like Beauty and the Beast. But if anyone else calls you Beast, I'll rip their throat out," and a soundtrack composed by prince.
I feel like crap for saying this, but not even Jack Nicholson's Joker elevates that movie beyond Batman Begins.

[El Blanco]

And its lungs, not throat.

Its not that the 1989 Batman is bad. It is indeed a great movie. This one is just quite possibly the greatest superhero movie ever.

[ItalianStereotype]

this movie was good enough to actually make the first one look bad. michael keaton was a pretty good batman, but he was a shitty bruce wayne.

[Immortal Goat]

I just realized the sad truth. IS is right. THe original Batman sucks now. :(

[Geggy]

Holy shit, I loved it! Definitely the darkest and more serious batman film.

I still prefer the 1989 version, though. There is just something about that movie...

[Immortal Goat]

It must be Jack Nicholson, because after my reviewing, nothing else in that movie is even slightly redeemable.

[Zomboid]

You can go fuck yourself. I'm seeing the new one tonight but anyone who says the '89 one sucks is a fucking tool.

[eggyolk]

like he gets real defensive over his opinion and hates everyone else. :lol

[Brandon]

I've seen it twice since Thursday, if that's any indication of how much I loved it.

Nolan really did a fantastic job with this one: the dark mood of the series is back, the characters are three-dimensional and believable, the acting is top-notch from everybody (even Katie Holmes is passable) and the plot is rock-solid and engrossing. This is the first time I've ever really cared about Bruce Wayne/Batman, since he's been almost a shadow of a character in the other films, and I'm not ashamed to say that a few of the moments with his father and Alfred ("why do we fall, Master Bruce?") brought a tear to my eye.

Oh, and the Scarecrow and his fear toxin were fucking awesome and creepy as hell.

"Would you like to see my mask?" :lol

[Immortal Goat]

You can go fuck yourself. I'm seeing the new one tonight but anyone who says the '89 one sucks is a fucking tool.
I never used to think that, and I still ove Jack Nicholson's Joker, but after seeing what Christian Bale can do with the character, Michael Keaton's performance seemed really dull and one-dimensional.

[AChimp]

This movie rocked. It's better than the 1989 movie (although I still think that one and Batman Returns were damn good). Judging by the end of this one, it looks like they're going to forget that the first movies ever existed.

Hopefully if this series gets off the ground they won't turn it into a shitfest for kids. >:

[N00bKill3R]

it looks like they're going to forget that the first movies ever existed.

Hello... calling card?

[HickMan]

You're stupid

[Rongi]

is nolan planning on making a sequel(s)?

[HickMan]

Yessir. I heard that Bale is signed up for at least two more sequels, also.

[ItalianStereotype]

ah, but I heard four. I also heard that mark hamill is the front runner to play the joker in the next one ;o

[Rongi]

that's got to be a rumor :(

[HickMan]

I've also heard that. I've also heard that Sean Astin (sp) was also another choice. But I can't really see that.

[DeadKennedys]

This movie completely, utterly blew my fucking mind.

My favorite part had to be when the kid was freaking out after the mind gas went out, and the girl said "Don't worry, no one will hurt you" and then the scarecrow rides up on his fucking nightmare and howls "OF COURSE THEY WILL!!!"

[Immortal Goat]

HOLY SHIT MY REVIEW MADE THE FRONT PAGE! :)

[Sethomas]

I loved the movie. Just the physicist in me made me think that a microwave gun to vaporize the water supply would induce more boiling blood and exploding eyeballs for people to really care about their hallucinations.

[Immortal Goat]

Me not being a physicist, I probably sound like a retard when I ask this, but would it not be possible that, since blood is a thicker substance than water, that the microwaves were not strong enough to vaborize blood, but just strong enough to vaporize water?

[Sethomas]

Well, microwaves act by being in phase with the vibrations of molecules. Blood plasma is a mixture of water, salt and blood cells, the water molecules not being bonded to anything and so have the same vibration frequency as distilled water. Same with the vitreus humor of the eyes.

Microwave ovens work because organic matter contains large amounts of water in them. A perfectly dry substance wouldn't heat up in a microwave.

You're making me think too much. The movie was still damn good.

[Spectre X]

I thought microwaves had to bounce around a lot more in order to be effective, instead of just passing through a human once and never returning.

[HickMan]

NERDS

[Geggy]

I heard Crispin Glover is another possible choice for the joker role. I probably can see him as the joker if he gets hooked up with lots and lots of laughing gas.

I used to think Jim Carrey would also make a good joker but they've already wasted him away as the Riddler in Batman and Robin, ugh!

[doopa]

the better not fuck up the joker

bale is the best bruce wayne

[Geggy]

Ironically I googled Crispin Glover and found this...

http://www.villainousvamps.com/crispinjoker.jpg

[ItalianStereotype]

but hamill has the voice and the laugh. they could clownify him easily, but the voice and the laugh is too hard to fake.

[noob3]

yeah, hamill would be the best joker by far! i havn't seen this movie yet, but i want to really bad now. hamill's voice is who i think of when i think joker. when i even see or read joker i'm hearing hamill's voice in my head. he fucking IS the joker, mother fuckers :p

he's kind of old though. but i guess he wouldnt be seen without the makeup. come on, come on, come on hamill joker!

does the scarecrow play a big part in the movie? he's my fav villain, up there with bane and clayface :o bane sucked in one of the shitty batman movies i dont know which but he SUCKED. the one with mr freeze and poison ivy. what the hell

[Zomboid]

Yeah, bane didn't even talk. He was just a henchman for poison ivy which was fucking ridiculous.

[N00bKill3R]

Scarecrow is actually pretty light in the movie, although his parts are pretty damn sweet... he's actually more of the secondary villian.

[Supafly345]

Scarecrow was more of weiner than a supervillian. Sure, his character is supposed to be a wiener, but I wouldn't call him pretty damn sweet. More of a nice touch.

That seriously ruled.
