Editorial Reviews:
Batman Begins explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight's emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.

Summary: Top Notch Batman Movie
Comment: 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.

Summary: A Great Beginning to Blu-Ray
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great special effects but?
Comment: Ok I am going to rant a little.I thought the movie was good for an action film,but for a Batman movie ,NO.They always have to change things that are from the the original story,Why.OH I forget,it's artistic license.BULL .Someone said that this makes the joker more real,like batman is real in the first place,he is a fantasy character,no human can do that stuff.they should of left the Joker the way he was.People can still read between the lines and get the hidden meanings.You do not have to make him more human for us to get it.Quit changing it,like making Raz al Ghul as Batmans teacher in Batman begins.
How about making the movie for us not your artistic selves.Become a painter if you want to be artistic.Well at least the cartoons usually stick to the original story line.
I said I just wanted to rant and this gives me a chance to say how I feel about these producers and their artistic talent crap.

Summary: 3 stars out of 4
Comment: The Bottom Line:
The best Batman movie yet made (including The Dark Knight), Batman Begins suffers only from a miscast Katie Holmes and an extremely over-the-top Tom Wilkinson as it portrays Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman about as realistically as possible; a superhero movie for the modern age.
