Batman Begins was a bad attempt to relieve one of the most beloved superheroes of all time, IMO.

Are you serious? Batman Begins was IMO the best Batman film ever. Yes better than the one with Nicholson. And Tarcher, the Tim Burton shit was HORRIBLE!

Oh come on, people.

Action = The Matrix = Action.

The Matrix, hands down.

@posher- It's 10-6.

Yes I am. The Scarecrow get-up was horrible (though Cillian Murphy's performance was excellent), Christian Bale sounded like he was taking a crap the whole time, the backstory was ruined, and the action was only enjoyable half of the time, and the backstory of Batman was stale. Tim Burton could do a dark version of Batman, Christopher Nolan could not. I'm not saying it's the worst movie ever made, nor is it even considered bad enough to be in the 100 worst (or 200 worst), but it is a shoddy prequel and a shoddy film. I give it a 1/5.

BTW- Was it Austin316426808 that also didn't like Batman Begins like I did?

It wasnt a prequel. Its not related to the Burton series at all, it's a whole new film.

Posher - Just because you like this film more is no reason to call Burton's film horrible. Fantasic movie, Id really like to see you come up with a reason why you didnt like it.

It was a prequel, but I didn't mean it as it was a prequel to all of the Tim Burton's Batman's. I'm just saying that Nolan tried to bring back that dark feeling to the Batman series, but, unlike Burton, he was unsuccesful.

@Posher- I'm just voicing my opinion. I don't care if you feel that Batman Begins was more superior than Tim Burton's Batman. I know a lot of people feel that way. But, a lot of people feel the same way I do too. Oh, and when is the next match going to be up?

Sorry, I'm not with ya on this one. I haven't yet seen a Bale movie I don't like.

I thought the backstory was done very well and realistically. Bale's performance was great, I thought the voice he used as Batman was a good move. Nolan is a great director and I love his interpretation of Batman.
