I bought this movie after hearing the soundtrack which grabbed me by the throat and wouldn't let go. This is the story of how Batman became who he is. It was action-packed, well acted and very entertaining. The process by which Batman created himself with special effects and psychology is intriguing.
Best Batman movie until Dark Knight came out. August 31, 2008

Batman Begins was such a relief for Batman fans. Finally we have a movie that is worth braggin about and has taken the franchise in a great new direction. This one is definitely the 2nd best Batman movie to date.. and I say that because The Dark Knight was just so damn good. Even if you're not a "superhero" movie fan, you'll like this one. This takes away the "supernatural/superhero" aspects of other comic movies, and turns it more realistic. Highly Recommend.

I got this product for my father and he was very content. It was all he wanted for his birthday--well, except a Triumph TT of course--and he was going through a batman craze after seeing "The Dark Knight."
Nothing to criticize.
A Revolution in the Batman Series August 31, 2008

The Batman film series since it began in 1989 has been on a rollercoaster ride. It started out full speed with "Batman" and continued that way in 1992 with "Batman Returns." Then in 1995 with "Batman Forever" and later in 1997 with "Batman and Robin" Joel Schumacher took that fun Batman ride to a very, very low point...he basically knocked the coaster off the tracks critically injuring the many Batman fans in the process. So it's no wonder that the series was in need of an overhaul.
Eight years later, and thanks to Christopher Nolan, the rollercoaster is back on the tracks and once again going full speed ahead. He revamped and reinvented the Batman franchise with "Batman Begins."
Finally, we see why Batman became Batman. We see what motivates him, where he learned those fancy kung fu moves, where he got his gadgets. We see Bruce Wayne's transformation into his alter ego, Batman, and his battle against injustice in Gotham City. It's always interesting to see why a superhero becomes a superhero. That alone can place "Batman Begins" amongst "Spiderman" as one of the greatest comic book/superhero movies of all time.
That aside, what really gets this coaster rolling again is Nolan's vision of how a Batman movie should be. Basing the film in reality, placing Batman in a realistic Gotham City, is ingenious. Gotham is a city overrun with crime and corruption with realistic villains attempting realistic crimes. Not the Riddler trying to read the minds of Gotham's innocent citizens via a TV box ("Batman Forever"). Overall, "Batman Begins" has made the film series more mature, aiming at an older audience with a much more serious film.
"Batman Begins" has truly marked a revolution for the franchise.
