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:

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

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.

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?

that movie was frikken awesome

GO SEE NOW

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.

huh, you don't say

[Rongi]

i thought it was awesome!

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

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.

[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.

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.
