Batman Begins (2005)

Batman Begins-excellent effort

Batman Begins scored very well with me earning five full stars. This film can almost be guaranteed not to dissapoint. A great film which portraid for the first time on the big screen the origin of the bat. This really fine movie rates five stars in my book for: a good story and script, fine performances, excellent costumes, great sets well coordinated with corresponding model work and CGI effects, not to mention the efforts made to deliver well presented martial arts sequences in wonderful battles between the Bat and our old Jedi Master.

The Blu Ray transfer from film to DVD was excellent and hours of additional features on the making of the film and its outstanding special effects are included on the reasonably priced DVD. This DVD is a must buy for fans of Batman.

This may have been the first time that picture real CGI was produced by mapping actual city photo images onto wire frame models of Gotham City with breathtaking results. I had no idea how they achieved these images until I watched the interesting and informative documentary on the making of the film. November 18, 2008

Well Done

When I first went into the theaters to see this film I was hesitant in the knowledge that this film could of been a really good film, upstaging previous films or it could of been a poor excuse of a Batman movie, in which, the studio was trying to sqeeze every penny out of people as humanly possible before leaving the once great Batman to rest. However, I found the theartical movie very well done. Which leads me to this DVD version of Batman Begins.
I found this DVD a well contrived movie in which there was a well written orgin story about what happened to Bruce Wayne and why he choose to become Batman. Furthermore, The editing of this movie seemed to be well done because the entire movie did flow well and as an audience member was able the follow what was going on without having to guess what was happening from scene to scene because of poorly done editing, which has been done before in other films not related to this one. On another note, the acting in this movie was well done and gave more life to the storyline and the characters that were involved with it. Overall, I found this film one of the few movies that has come out of Hollywood to be truly worth my time to watch the first time and worthy to be watched more than once. November 17, 2008
