Unfortunately, that's all it is."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B+ "A defining Batman."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2.5/4 "Batman Begins is involving and skillful, more so as a drama than as an action film."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C- "Never boring enough to dislike... never interesting enough to be engaging"   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens 3/5 "(...) Se ubica en un muy digno punto intermedio entre el pasatiempo comercial promedio y el cine de autor hollywoodense (si es que algo así todavía existe)."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "This is a movie I can get behind, a scary, exhilarating flurry of conflicting ideals, dark heroes, darker villains and good old-fashioned bang-up action."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A "A great movie, the best of the summer and the year so far, assuring that the trend of comic-book-to-screen adaptation trend will not only continue, but continue vigorously."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "Relentlessly moody, colorfully chaotic and symbolically transfixing, Batman Begins is definitely a new chapter that’s instilled in the same old reliable book"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng B "Until the overblown, chaotic finale obligatory in Hollywood action movies nowadays, it's an abundantly moody, amply exciting exercise in cinematic resuscitation."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "The attention Nolan gives to the characters and the storyline brings Batman back into focus as an inventive heroic figure."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3.5/4 "Christopher Nolan has gone back to basics, jettisoning both the silliness of the TV incarnation and the gothic and fetishist elements of the '90s version. This is a hard-core, down-and-gritty origin story."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "aims to return Batman to his darker roots and also align more clearly with the character-driven graphic novels that resurrected the character in the mid-1980s"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "A Batman for action movie fans."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 4/5 "Director Christopher Nolan brings plenty of action, character and atmosphere to the first worthy film adaptation of the classic comic book."   Netflix   James Rocchi 2.5/4 "It's passable entertainment that our culture has wildly overrated."   Perihelion Journal   Jay Antani '3.5/4' "The boy in the bestial batsuit is bigger and better than ever thanks to a dark veil of secrecy and the menacing genesis of family skeletons."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "I expect Batman Begins to make most fans of the Caped Crusader very happy. Memorable? I'm not sure yet."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Nolan achieves a rare balance between the necessary but minimal exposition scenes and the action sequences."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 7/10 "...finally provides us with an actor who is completely believable as both Bruce Wayne and Bathead himself, Christian Bale."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 9/10 "Its edgy tone and dark atmosphere coupled with its comic-book theatrics make it a winning combination for older children and adults alike."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "When something is broken beyond repair, the only thing to do is go back and start at the beginning. Welcome to Batman Begins."   Light Views   John Larsen 6/10 "Batman never once seems to be in real jeopardy (though you can hardly tell from his voice, which makes it sound like he’s undergoing a perpetual colonoscopy)."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick '4' "Burton’s work checks in as the better movie, both aesthetically and artistically, however, and please hear me out, Batman Begins is the better Batman movie."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 3.5/4 "Se trata de un filme oscuro pero muy humano y, por lo mismo, inolvidable. Un digno renacimiento para un gran héroe."   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4/5 "fans of the Dark Knight, finally feel proud again"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis "Batman Begins rocks."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 5/5 "It seethes and it revs and it truly does rock; it rocks intelligently, but it is still very cool and even cerebral."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4.0/4.0 "... never before has the costume worn the actor; Bale is Batman with or without it."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3.5/5 "Batman Begins isn’t perfect, but it’s one heck of an improvement over the films in the past - and it’s a great way to welcome the DC heroes back to the silver screen."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr 4/4 "A more realistic but still stylish kind of comic book movie."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "Perhaps one of Batman Begins biggest joys is the casting against type of Gary Oldman [who] makes his piloting of the Batmobile one of the film's biggest rushes. "   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "Christopher Nolan and David Goyer's somber prequel puts the darkness back in the Dark Knight's corner of crime-fighting hell."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 4/4 "This is how you make a superhero movie."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 7/10 "It is difficult to rate a film with such virtues and which also has such glaring faults. On balance it does enough that is impressive."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Bale brings a solemnity and a gravity to Bruce and to Batman that simultaneously creates a protomythic superhero and undercuts the idea..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "Should we comment on the horrendous Batmobile? You probably saw the trailer, so there is no need."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro 3.5/5 "For the most part, this film is a rousing success -- it's a clever reimagination of tired material and it's a great action film."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/4 "Batman Begins does all the standard things beautifully, then adds several additional layers of quality via the story and the themes. This is why I go to the movies."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 2/4 "But there's no auteurist signature, no idiosyncratic imprint, on the film that distinctly marks it as a work of Nolan's, and thus it feels vaguely impersonal and remote."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 5/5 "Sua maior virtude é não obrigar Batman a ser um centro de razão em um universo absurdo; desta vez, é a história que se vê obrigada a se adequar ao humor sombrio do herói."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4/5 "[Batman Begins] feels less like comic fantasy and more like serious drama, albeit one depicting the exploits of a psychotic ninja billionaire."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar  (1 - 50) of 63 OFCS Rating: 92% Fresh Page   12   > Next
