Batman Begins (DVD)

What a fantastic film, best I have seen in the last couple of years. Yes it is long but it's action packed throughout. So good in fact the others seem a little behind now. Story line was consistant, and sad in places, very well played out.

I think this film is brilliantly done. It goes back to it's roots, the Dark hero who uses the shadows to pray on his enimies. The hero (Christian Bale) does a mangificent performance and suits the role very well. I disliked the Batmobil due to the fact it was over done and should be a car of stealth and speed not of mass destuction. Im really a Marvel fan but this film made me consider the DC character.

Christopher Nolan's 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


Excellent film with stunning visuals and effects which is aimed at a more mature audience for a much more realistic feel with its continuous dark scenes.

The film directed by christopher nolan sees christian bale take on the new role as bruce wayne and the legendary batman,while michael caine plays alfred,gary oldman sees the role of local police officer gordon,morgan freeman as lucious fox, and katy holmes as bruce waynes lady friend.

The film focus is explaining the transformarion from bruce wayne to vigilante and features batmans very first enemy the scare crow.

A must see film, if you enjoy this then you will definetley enjoy the sequel to batman begins, the dark knight.

This film is amazing! I was blown away by Christian Bales performance he is by far the best Batman EVER! I would highly recommend this film to anyone not just superhero fans.

This film is well worth watching, again and again....

It has everything a Batman movie commands.

It's dark, moody, mysterious, suave, sophisticated... And that's just Christian Bale... Bale delivers a superb performance, he really does excel at playing this type of character. Without a doubt he makes the best Bruce Wayne since Michael Keaton's excellent portrayal of the caped crusader in Tim Burton's 'Batman' movie released way back in 1989.

The basic storyline tells the tale of how Bruce Wayne witnessed his parent's being murdered when he was just a young child.
The psychological affects of this traumatic experience leave Bruce struggling to cope not only with the loss of both of his parents but also with his internal battle to conquer his uncontrollable feelings of guilt and anger. This manifests into his incessant need to seek revenge and rid Gotham of the sinister forces that threaten the city.
He travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful.
Along the way he is exposed to a series of rigorous endurance tests, conditioning his mind and body to withstand the physical and mental stamina required for such a heroic task.
On his return to Gotham he engages the help of his trusted butler Alfred (Michael Cane). Cane plays Alfred with the demure grace and english eccentricity that one would expect.
And so, now that Bruce has acquired the necessary skills for taking on the sinister forces that threaten Gotham City, he and Alfred set about creating Bruce's alter ego and equipping him with an array of high tech gadgets and weaponary...

It's hard to wrong with such a star studded cast... Treating us to a schmorgers board laden with some of the industries finest talent....

This film really is faultless. It's beautifully filmed, wonderfully directed, it achieves that rare quality of combining fantasy with style and sophistication. It's a superhero movie that retains just enough realism to prevent it being another one of those big budget, over the top movies that have been hollywood-ized to within an inch of their lives...

Watch and enjoy :-)

‘Batman Begins’ means that you will have to go through the whole apprenticeship of the young and inexperienced Bruce - and that does just half of the movie - before the real stuff begins. All that philosophical/moral initiation and martial art training was an interesting approach of the circumstances that turned Bruce Wayne into Batman, but it falls through (we’re far from the Matrix and Morpheus’s teaching).

In addition, the Batman will craft and manufacture all his funky toys and trappings; that can be interesting, but it takes off the magic. What we like with Batman is the dream, the supernatural, the fantastic: trying to bring everything down to rational proportions is a bit dull and dispiriting. Hopefully the magic will take off with the action - the trouble is you need to see the first part of the film to understand what’s going on in the second. But then, maybe you won’t have wasted your time.

It’s a Batman movie, so expect just that (and there’s no Schwarzenegger or George Clooney in this one - yet, I salute Michael Caine who brings a little tinge of quality to the film). There’s action and blasts and stunts to everyone’s content, on that you can rely. Christopher Nolan has become a Hollywood film maker, so don’t expect any personal directing touch. The script was audacious in its twists (mostly in the fight between good and evil) but the end treatment is no better than a good comic.

I bought this as it was voted best film 2005 in a survey and I hadnt seen it at the cinema. A return to form for the Batman franchise with better plot line and getting rid of all the heavily made up baddies. Very enjoyable and what you expect from this sort of action movie with plenty of gadgets and a storyline explaining why Batman evolves into a crime fighter. A good 4/5.

This film is very entertaining and will be enjoyed by all...................................................................................................................

What more can i say much better than the previous attempts and got better from this benchmark. All of the family have enjoyed this time and time again

I decided to buy it because i have seen The Dark Knight, but not Batman begins. So i wanted to see the first film of the two.I like the idea that it is a superhero film which is realistic and also entertaining.

i think this a quality film with how they tell you how batman became who he is threw his personnel tragedy and what motivates him into stopping the baddies, pure class.

absolutely great film, best actor to play wayne/batman so far, explains the story of before batman really well and is as exciting as any of the previous batman installmants in the past

great film can't wait to see the other film. ieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I think this is one of the best Batman Films to date & beats the original Batman which was played by Micheal Keaton, but I'm not going to go there as Michael Keaton was a very good actor & played some brilliant roles. However I thought the sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight ruined it all. I found it dragged, talk about cutting a long story short.

When I bought this DVD via Ebay I was disappointed when received as the advert stated Brand New Never Watched & the photo showed it was sealed. What came was an unsealed, used, scratched, fingerprinted DVD. I even looked at the back of it & said used. So I thought the best thing to do was contact the seller to mention this was not as described. But I'll give him credit, negotiations were made via email, sent the DVD back & refunded me instantly via Paypal. If only all Ebayers were like this.

Above all I highly recommend this film to all action fans out there. If your into chick flicks then this isn't for you.

Enjoy!!!!

Excellent adaptation of the original old Batman. Now more dark and for the "older" fan as it is now more realistic with violence and swearing!
Action packed filled film that has you wondering what else can happen to have you with your mouth wide open in amazement, especially in the crystal clear HD, which appears to be better that the blu ray version for some reason! Still betamax was also better all those years ago and they went for VHS!!!
Great film, a must for any collector!

Bought this film for my son, the film is really good and with plenty of action in it. Can't wait until the one with heath Ledger in it as the joker, he looks really evil in it.

this was a great purchase as the new one is coming out soon my partner wants to see it but these are never my thing so bought it on here from a great seller. watched the film last night and now cant wait to see the new one, it was the best film i have seen in a while and i was glued to it the whole way through. it has a proper story line and great actors, and great actions scenes thanks again

Yes Yes YES! If you, like me, were wondering if the movie makers were EVER going to make a 'proper' Batman movie, well this is undoubtedly it and the wait is over!

To start, what's clever is the background build-up to explain the 'Batman' phenomenon and very believable it is too. Great special effects and stellar performances from Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman add to the authenticity. Certain rainy sequences remind me of the movie Blade Runner - there's even a starring role from Rudger Hauer who starred in Blade Runner as the scheming boss of the latter-day Wayne Enterprises.

The movie is fast-paced with plenty of action, gradually building on Batman's struggling early attempts as a masked crusader, to a honed razor-sharp force fighting the sinister forces which threaten Gotham City. The movie builds to a nail-biting climax of events which clearly lead the viewer to expect more from this latest and best Batman franchise.

The next movie will undoubtedly be a MUST SEE! Ensure you add this movie to your DVD collection - it's one you can view over and over and still find good stuff to smile about!

What can I say other than this is a classic and everyone on the planet should have a copy in there DVD collection!

Classic Batman...

...A Classic Forever!

The Batman franchise had been a bit down until this beauty of a film came out.
Directed by Chris Nolan (Mememto and the underrated Prestige) this stars the best actor of his generation in Christian Bale. Also with Michael Caine, Katie Holmes (the brilliant) Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman - this has an excellent cast.
Focusing on the early life of Bruce Wayne this is a far grittier and edgier film which is much darker.
By far the best film in the Batman franchise this has to be watched.
Johnny

Fans of the old Batman films may find it a bit strange, and notice the lack of any particularly good villains. However, this film is full of action for the new generations who enjoy the likes of the Fantastic 4 films, and is supported by a strong cast including the likes of Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman.

Like the later comics, this film dips further into Bruce Wayne's personal like, documenting his rise as the dark knight and bringing a lot more emotion to the table.

It's a great film for any open-minded fan to watch - I own the whole collection - and it also appeals to the younger audiences. And if you love this one, look out for the new film The Dark Knight, out next year.

compared with the batman film that came before this one is a refreshing change it doesn't follow the comic book style but instead follows the action film style which is more enjoyable without seeing great actor/actress dressing up and looking silly. definately gritty and dark with a simple to follow story and better insite to where all the cool bat gear came from.the only question left to be answered is where can we get a car like that.shopping would never be the same again.
