monkeygirl Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 Oh, I definitely admit it was my favorite Batman movie of any of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Batman fan....for my fourth or fifth birthday, all I wanted in the world was a Batman toy and I got one hehe. Not that I've read the comics, I just always loved the cartoons on Fox Saturday mornings, and the old TV show.Somehow when doing my critique of Batman Begins, I kind of forgot about all the other bad Batman movies there have been (I mean, George Clooney? c'mon). Christian Bale made a great Bruce Wayne AND a great Batman, which we haven't really seen in a while. Katie Holmes was great, the cinematography was great. It made me pay a lot more attention than most movies do. So in that sense, Batman Begins was great because it was so much better than the old Batman movies. I also loved the way they set it up for sequels.I still like Spiderman, though....I think it's a Tobey Maguire thing... 1st dan & Asst.

battousai16 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 you think so? because Toby Maguire is what made the spiderman movies sketchy to me. i dunno, i hear he's a less than stellar fellow.that said, i'm partial to the first animated batman movie. i'm not gonna' lie, i bought all three of the batman: the animated series boxed sets when they came out. batman begins is definitely second, though.

monkeygirl Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 There was an animated movie? I just remember the series on Fox. 1st dan & Asst. Instructor TKD 2000-2003No matter the tune...if you can rock it, rock it hard.
Aodhan Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 I'd have to say that this was my favorite Batman of all the movies, it stayed truest to his origins as a tormented person, and allowed the dark side to show through. He IS called the Dark Knight for a reason.I also like the way they set it up for sequels (Gordon is still a Lieutenant, for example), and how they explained the scarecrow origins.I also thought that Michael Caine made a pretty good Alfred. I was surprised to see him though, I hadn't seen a cast list before I went.Aodhan There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.-Douglas Everett, American hockey player
battousai16 Posted June 21, 2005 Posted June 21, 2005 yeah, there were two. the first wasn't very good, but the first one was excellent, with a wonderful musical score and a pretty good script ("what about the 'I' word?" "the 'I' word?" "ingagement!" . that one also went over the batman's origins, and i thought it did so a little better, although that may very well be simple nastalgia for the cartoon series that i grew up with.

siufeifei Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 "less than steller fellow"?Been watching a few too many Brit films have we? ohayo gozaimasu, o genki desu ka.
battousai16 Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 do they say stellar over in rainy ol' england? i think i pulled it from an incubus song. coincidentally "stellar". that said, i probably watch to many brit movies for my own good. i think i'll watch shaun of the dead again tonight...

fallen_milkman Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 I was shocked and appalled when I left theater after this movie...I mean, a GOOD Batman movie? Is that even allowed? I thought they were all supposed to be terrible. I personally loved it, being a huge Batman nerd. It was kind of a bummer not to see the fight scenes, but it made sense to me. I think they did a good job capturing the vengeful side of Bruce Wayne. Also, Ras Al'Ghul is probably the coolest villain ever. 36 styles of danger
Sam Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 no we dont say stellar.lol not unless referring to interstellar... we're all too proper over here lol!its not in common use though.
Menjo Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 lol funny to hear batman a ninja even though it kinda fits with the stealth and all "Time is what we want most, but what we use worst"William Penn
