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

4.5/5
"Brilliant."  Shadows on the Wall  Rich Cline

3/5
"The movie takes such time and care to set up Bruce/Batman that it's a bit of a bummer when it launches into summer-movie overdrive."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves

A
"It knows what this character is about, and crafts an ode to everything that 65 years worth of fans have come to love."  Flipside Movie Emporium  Rob Vaux

B
"A very successful attempt to resurrect the nearly-defunct Batman franchise by starting over."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

A-
"It’s the best of the “Batman” movies and a thorough surprise in just how darn good it is."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

5/5
"You're just not going to find "popcorn entertainment" of a higher caliber than Batman Begins. You'll pull your hair out trying, so don't even bother."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

4/4
"A smash, one of the finest comic book adaptations of all time and one of the best films of 2005."  Charlotte Weekly  Sean O'Connell

"A blast of energy that reinvents the Dark Knight for a new generation of film-goers."  Cinefantastique  Steve Biodrowski

A
"It's tempting to call Batman Begins the Citizen Kane of super-hero movies; at any rate, it's the closest thing so far."  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

10/10
"Intriguing, insightful - it's a journey of the imagination, exploring the nature and power of fear."  Modamag.com  Susan Granger

9/10
"There has never yet been a Batman story with quite this kind of psychological trauma. If Ingmar Bergman had ever directed a superhero movie, it would have looked quite a bit like this."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton

4/4
"It's all about fear and loathing, this high profile, big-budget product of a post-millennial United States--and it's about as good as it gets."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3.5/4
"Nolan has created a dark, realistic and believable hero who fights personal demons like the rest of us. Burton's fantasy was fun but Nolan's is better."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell

5/5
"[Nolan] manages to reignite the franchise in a grittier and more fascinating light."  eFilmCritic.com  William Goss
