Batman Begins.

Saw it today. Really good movie, and the setup for the sequel at the end was awesome.

The beginning was a bit slow, but, kind of in a good way. It explains in pretty good detail how Batman became what he is, and why, which is nice for the folks that didn't read the comic books, such as myself.

Didn't they already explain it in the one movie? Granted it wasn't in depth but it was enough to know what was going on. And when are movies going to stop setting up for a sequal?

the day hollywood stops making money off of movies and they become as unprofitable as art galleries.

Went out lastnight, was thinkin' about seeing this movie, then my girl saw Madagascar was showing so we saw that instead, pretty good though, have to catch this movie next time.

boo hiss!

my girlfriend wants to see batman begins a lot... i guess we'll see it this weekend, probably. we have an IMAX about five minutes from our appartment, and i'm tempted to see it there, but i dunno... would it be worth paying double (dunno how much it is for IMAX, really... never been to one that was not at NASA) the price of a normal movie house?

[edit] well, i found out how much IMAX is for students: $6.50! that's like the same price that AMC charges... needless to say i was stoked. unfortunatly, when i called to see about showtimes for batman begins, they informed me that they wouldn't be getting it until august! what a pile of crap...

Yeah, IMax usually doesn't do movies when they first come out (not to my knowledge at least).

But yeah, if we don't go to the theater to see it I'll just download it or something and watch it later on. I really didn't even plan on going to the movies, we just drove by the place and I was like, let's catch a movie, I pointed out Batman, and then she pointed out Madagascar, me, "ok!" ::buys tickets::

Ho hum...old thread, but oh well. I absolutely loved this movie. One of the few movies I've ever went to see for a second time. Just a brilliant movie all around.

I do hope they make a sequal to it and hope they don't go with some famous bloke (unless he's capable of pulling it off) for the role of Joker.

And the Scarecrow...best villain in a Batman movie, ever! And Cillian Murphy (who played Crane/Scarecrow)...yummy,

Very handsome.

And Liam Neeson is just awesome, as he is in every movie. One of the best actors around. I mean really...anybody who can pull off a remotely decent job under George Lucas' direction has to be brilliant.

Glad they went with a restart and re-imaging of the Batman series isntead of adding on to the original series...god those movies sucked.

the first batman movie was pretty good. it was no batman: the movie (with adam west, the noble porpoise, etc.), but it was alright anyways.
