I just got back from the midnight showing. O. M. G. This is one of the best movies of the year. It's a good movie period. I'm not a huge fan of batman, and haven't been a fan of superhero flicks. This rocks my socks. GO SEE IT NOW. Only one peeve..... it suffers from "XTREME FIGHT CAM" syndrome. I.e. heres what happens during an action scene:


ANGLE CHANGE, PUNCH, ANGLE CHANGE, ANGLE CHANGE, ANGLE CHANGE, ANGLE CHANGE, KICK, ANGLE CHANGE, ANGLE CHANGE, ANGLE CHANGE, ANGLE CHANGE.....

    What the hell?

    I have been craving for this film since it was first announced. The fight scene as you said seemed to be in line with the Batman character, so no problem with me.

    So far, I have heard more good than bad.

    I hadn't taken any notice of it, but I've been told it's good. My sister said it had some elements of the Arkham Asylum graphic novel.

    Well that's a comic->movie stereotype. According to the rumours, this thing was a sleeper. But it should be good.

    This movie is about how Batman came to be, right?

    The full title is, "Batman Begins To Make A Sandwich." He is up against General Cheese and his army of tasty, tasty minions.

    In all honesty, I have no idea what the film's plot is. My sister also recommended me not to find out, and just go see it unprepared. It's better that way, apparently.

    Batman: Micheal Keaton. Dark and gothic. Rocked.
    Batman Returns: Micheal Keaton. Dark and gothic. Rocked
    Batman something or other (can't even remember name): Val Kilmore. Family cheese. Sucked ****
    Batman something or other: George Clooney. Family cheese. Sucked ****.

    Now we have a film going to Batmans roots, with a kick **** actor capable of playing dark characters, and is going back to the dark gothic route with no family cheese. How did you think it was going to be vomit?

    I can't speak for him, obviously, but after the last "film", I thought that Batman was well and truly dead. I didn't even bother checking into this one, and it wouldn't have appeared on my radar if someone I know hadn't told me it was good.

    I have heard it is good, but I still fear watching it.

    Batman Forever rocked, it was that last one that really sucked.

    Even the last one? That caused entire audiences to wilt. People would go in, and come out ninety years older. Many died in the process.

    No, it's not. It has a brain sucking cable box, with Two-Face and the Riddler playing minesweeper. What the hell is wrong with you.

    Hmm the only thing that has ever appealed to me about Batman films is the actors that seem to play the bad guys. I like most of them, but the films aren't that good.

    This, on the plus side, has Michael Caine in. AND Morgan Freeman. Who plays the ah, "bad guy" in it?

    97.

    I should really look to see if anyone else makes a thread about a movie before I post one (+1 nub). Anyways I liked it except for the bit about "I'm someone who likes to rattle the cages".

    Gary Oldman playing a good guy seems just downright odd, but he's a terrific actor so I'm sure he's good.

    I'm hoping to go see this soon. Maybe tonight if I can convince my friend to go...
