Batman Begins Reviews |
There has never been a Batman movie like “Batman Begins.” Ever....This is everything fans have hoped a Batman movie would be - but more than that, it’s everything non-fans have wanted, too. A smart, deep, thrilling comic adventure eager to please all audiences, no matter what level of Batfan they may be. This, dear friends, is how to do it right. [read review] 
--David Cornelius (eFilmCritic.com)
...lets me say that Batman Begins is probably the best ever portrayal of the Caped Crusader, so don’t miss it. The movie’s makers laid clear plans for a sequel, so hopefully we’ll be seeing more of Christian Bale in that cape and mask, same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel. [read review] 
Batman Begins is nothing less than a giant cinematic reset button. In one fell swoop, it erases the memory of the previous four films -- whose efforts ranged from the flawed to the flat-out abominable -- and replaces it with a powerful, unforgettable interpretation of the iconic superhero.

--Rob Vaux (Flipsidemovies.com)
Nolan wants to have it both ways -- he wants his film to be dark, but not so dark as to discourage cheers from summer moviegoers when the credits roll. The result is a mixed tone that keeps this rebirth of Batman from fulfilling its potential greatness. [read review] 
'Batman Begins' improves on Batman films of the past, staying loyal to the film series' story arc, while singularly emerging as a fluid prequel of beauty and masterful filmmaking, pairing gritty urbanism and heightened reality with astounding finesse. [read review]
--J.P. Mangalindan (MovieWeb)
...Nolan's 'Batman Begins' wipes the slate clean, taking viewers right back (again) to the caped crusader's origins - and in this far more earnest adventure, the bat has well and truly abandoned camp and headed into more epic territories. [read review] 8/10
--Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
The film works overall, captures the true essence of Batman and provides us all a great hope for the future, particularly in the film’s final scene which literally announces the villain for the next go-around. I’m hip! [read review] 7/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)
“Batman Begins” is going to be the summer movie to beat. It’ll probably also be the movie all upcoming superhero movies are judged against. A decent story, beautiful sets, topnotch acting – “Batman Begins” has it all. [read review] A
...the movie isn't all mental: There's action aplenty, with fierce fighting shot by bouncy cameras. "Batman Begins" is enough to make viewers yearn for Nolan's next trip up to bat. [read review]
Christopher Nolan single-handedly resurrects the Batman franchise with Batman Begins, an emotionally engaging, impressively directed and beautifully cast superhero flick. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Batman now has a movie that can stand alongside the wonderful big-screen adventures of Superman, Spider-Man, and The X-Men. Basically, it's a great time to be a geek. [read review]
--Scott Weinberg (eFilmCritic.com)
The animated action sequences are fantastic, and so are the live action action sequences....For you comic book fans out there, this is what you've been waiting for. [read review]
A few dumbed-down moments cater to the action-only crowd, but are ultimately swallowed up by first-rate plot machinations and deliciously dastardly wrong-doers. [read review] 
The film is dark, brooding and gritty - and feels real. The acting is top notch, and the movie as a whole is just really interesting to watch. [read review] 8.5/10
Chris Nolan has earned his place in the Hollywood hall of fame with this film and he brings a real deftness and lightness of touch. [read review] 9/10
It uses noise as a weapon against the audience, fearing the very short attention span it feeds through the use of such crutches. [read review] 
'Batman Begins' makes Revenge of the Sith look like a little kiddie play pool that the Bat-Mite came along and took a dump in. [read review]
--Imperial Mantooth (MovieWeb)
If you like Batman or superhero flicks there's plenty here to entertain you, but you will notice a few bumps along the road. [read review] 7/10
--Matt Fuerst (JackassCritics.com)
