Batman Begins

**{I}{K}{E}** · 06-21-2005, 09:41 AM

I was just checking 'Batman Begins' on IMDb and I saw that this movie is now #64 on the IMDb top250 list.
I know new movies always get higher scores and often leave the top250 after a while (like SW III)

Is this movie really that good???

It's the "fan-boy" effect. Star Wars 3 also came in high on that chart (not as high but still...) and has now fallen out of the Top 250. Give it a few weeks and it will fall down, but it might hang around the Top 250 (I mean if LOTR can...).

As to the film itself I thought that it was brilliant. Really in keeping with the comics, much more focus on Batman/Bruce Wayne, didn't stretch the unbeilabilty factor too much and good performances from Gary Oldman, Cillian Murphy and ~~Patrick Bateman~~ Christian Bale.

Defiently my favourite film of the year ahead of Sin City by a hairs breadth.

btw: The IMDB poll is a pretty awful poll. For one it is male dominated, secondly the majority of the age group voting is 18-29 and, thirdly, over half the voters are American.

Sir, you have now convinced me to get the Batman, and the Sin Thanks. City too.

But first I gotta nick some albums on SS...

Ike - i reckon so. the set peices are very imressive and i much prefered it to not only the shitty cam versions out at the moment, but even if therye was a decent telceine - i still think youd miss out on a lot of the atmosphere too

i really thought it was an exceptional film. very moving and funny in places and had a real darkness to it that seemed fitting for the start of batman. it also molds his education and the coolness of batman well during the movie so it deosnt appear disjointed

great film - must see in cinema - then watch again with a decent release
