i guess this is the movie a lot of batman fans have been waiting for... since a long time. it all started pretty well with batman and batman returns, but after that the level got slowly bad, and ended up with more special effects and freaky/crazy characters than plot or story or passion. it looked like it had become a merchandisingproject more than a movieproject.
batman begins puts an end to all that: this movie has a more serious character, a real dark atmosphere, more story and less action (although still enough to keep you going, and certainly more complementary to the story)... and therefore is more convincing, and more intriguing. batman IS batman instead of some weird suit flying around.
knowing that 'the dark knight' will also be directed by christopher nolan makes that movie very promising.

I found this film pretty boring on the whole.The villain called the scarecrow is on par with mr freeze as being the most pointless villain in all the batman films!Christian bale is alright as batman,but i still prefer michael keaton.

This is a great film as the Batman movies are set for a new path under director Christopher Nolan. Christian Bale has been proven to be the best Batman out there at this time with a great performance in this film. The only weak point to this movie is the villain being the scarecrow which is one of the worst villains i have seen to date but the rest of the movie is superb and well worth watching. Enjoy
