Well, I didn't pay that much attention. But at the beginning, when he stomp kicks the guy's leg, the only way I could tell what he did was because of the crack. His duel against the fake Ra's Al Ghul was pretty good, but when he fought Ducard on the train, the flashing lights made it hard for me to tell what was going on.

Im still surprised you cant tell what there were doing, I could perefectly tell what there were doing ( then again if I focused hard enough I could praticly replay the whole move in my mind ) To me it actauly looked like real fights.

Even when he fought the prisoners in China (or Tibet, I dunno), you could barely see what he was doing. However, I appreciate the realism in the fight scenes, it was all single attack moves, none of that jump and cartwheel crap they do in most other Hollywood movies.

By the way, the creators of Batman Begins are planning to remake the entire Batman movie series. They can have George Clooney's movies but if they even touch Michael Keaton's rendition of Batman they'll have die-hard Batman fans to answer to. That movie was the best and darkest of all. Oh and Katie Holmes is getting dropped.

Was a pretty decent movie, gave back Batman his balls :P I liked the martial arts scenes, Liam Neeson played his role well, although they were too fast and the camera seemed shaky, so it was hard to see what was going on.

According to Buzz, Bale, Caine, and Oldman have all already signed on for a sequel. I'm not too hyped about it though. I guess it will be at least a bit entertaining.

I definitely think they're going to make a sequel to Batman Begins, especially with that huge give-away at the end of the movie :P

The movie rocked, seriously. I half expected it to be alot like the other Batman movies, but this one was way better, and by far the best. The last 20 minutes of it were outstanding, although I agree with Koyi that the fights were a little too fast and blurry, couldn't make out as much. But it was still great. Obviously there won't be a sequel, as there already has been, but Christian Bale and Michael Keaton make damn fine matchups. Liam Neeson did fantastic as well, and Michael Caine made for a perfect Alfred. I was impressed. Was a little strange to see Gary Oldman playing Gordan though, but he did a fine job of it.

It was okay, I guess.
Not a bad movie, and I liked the different perspective on the whole character. Still, "just a movie".

I saw Madagascar the day after, and to be quite honest, I liked that one 100 times better :D Had tears in my eyes from laughing, haha.

Saw the movie a couple of days ago, forgot to post about it though. I thought it was pretty average to be honest. Don't get me wrong, the story really wasn't that bad, though i still felt something was missing. I guess the lack of a proper antagonist, instead of a few separate smaller ones was a little disappointing. The action sequences, as koyi mentioned, were a little too fast and blurry and didn't show that much action at all. Seeing Liam Neeson as a bit of a delusional fella was kinda surprising, mostly because i'm used to seeing him the way he is in The Phantom Menace. :P
Maybe the fact that i was never really a big fan of batman when i was young had a bit of an impact on my viewing of the movie. The lack of some kind of supernatural powers never really appealed to me, oh well. All in all, not a bad film.

I was a little let down by the picture. The fights where fast and blurry not showing too much action at all. The story line is looking to be very promising and hopefully they don't kill off too many of the villians. If they could have marketed the Joker for returns in the original series of movies and did away with all of that cartoon crap, they wouldn't have needed to start over again. The tumbler was a touch much for my taste too, but a cool twist for the audience. :)

Really liked this movie. The only thing that was underdeveloped was the relationship between Bale and Holmes, which was a bit awkward for me. I loved the hallucination scenes.

Ok, I just got back from seeing this.

Oh my goodness, eons above the Batmans with Clooney and Kilmer, a few notches above Michael Keaton. Christian Bale did incredible as Batman and I loved Qui Gon Jinn in the movie. Absolutely fantastic! I won't give away much at all, but if you're a Batman fan or just somebody looking to watch something that is incredible, look no more, Batman Begins will answer your call.
Qui Gon Jinn in the movie? The actor? lol

An excellent movie. Very fitting for Batman. Definitely more than the last 2, might as well have used the adam west batman costume for them. I'm in agreement with Mune on spotting things quickly, mostly from my familiarity with The Animated Series that was on tv a few years ago. Comic book fans should have an even easier time at it. It took nothing away from the experience for me though. A very good modern approach to who I consider to be DC comics greatest superhero.

Just fresh home from seeing it. I absolutely loved the one fight scene! Oh, but then there was that one part where they talked... But then they fought again! What a swell movie, I say.

However, I gotta say, I saw the main bad guy coming. Don't know why, but I just instantly picked up on it way before he was 'revealed.' Can't say more without spoiling...

Actors were fantastic. Fantastic. Fan. Tas. Tic. I personally didn't find a bit of cheese anywhere. Best new movie I've seen in quite some time, but then I'm not an avid movie goer... Go figure.
