Batman Begins (Week 29)

[TbsWoody]

Was so good watching it again on the big screen, lots of cheesy lines and just truly epic:) long film though:s I'm starting to think I prefer this to The Dark Knight.

What are peoples thoughts?

I always think it's like three stories in one film, which is why it feels so long >.< buuuuut: still enjoyable the last time I saw this was at least two years ago so it was good to rewatch. I do find Bale as Wayne difficult to understand sometimes though, because he seems to have a tendency to speak without moving his lips properly >:|

I've seen The Dark Night many times, but never Batman Begins. Overall, it was a pretty good film but I agree with Lisey - it definitely felt like 3 films in one with a poor connection between them. Parts of it were also pretty predictable and stereotypical, but I still enjoyed it.

Seen both this, and the Dark Knight, many many times (too many times, probably, when I can quote quite a bit....)

and I have to say... I do still prefer Batman Begins
whilst I can see how DK is the better film, I just find BB more watchable, and prefer the villains for some reason.
I like how it seems to be split into three or so parts. It breaks the film up (whereas DK is one long haul, in a way)
I also like how... it takes quite a while for him to actually become 'Batman', however, neither have I ever gotten agitated with the amount of time before he puts on the cape and cowl, because there is enough backstory, and it's interesting enough

I did rather enjoy this, much like I enjoyed Dark Knight when I eventually saw it, so I am glad I came along...

[I didn't have much choice, fear of certain small person breaking down my legs and sticking them to my head]

Story wise I prefer Batman Begins, I like how we see how he transitions into Batman. Characters wise and evil plots wise, I love Dark Knight and The Joker.

Would totally see this again, along with Dark Knight and can't wait for the next film! (The Dark Knight Rises)

Think I should clarify: despite having the 'three stories' I didn't feel like it was hashed together. There were connections between them, like overcoming fear etc, which I think added to the character of Batman. Plus I liked the way the villains introduced were 'evil' enough in their own arcs but then only a part of a bigger story in the end
