Amazon.co.uk Review:
Batman Begins discards the previous four films in the series and recasts the Caped Crusader as a fearsome avenging angel. That's good news, because the series, which had gotten off to a rousing start under Tim Burton, had gradually dissolved into self-parody by 1997's Batman & Robin. As the title implies, Batman Begins tells the story anew, when Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) flees Western civilization following the murder of his parents. He is taken in by a mysterious instructor named Ducard (Liam Neeson in another mentor role) and urged to become a ninja in the League of Shadows, but he instead returns to his native Gotham City resolved to end the mob rule that is strangling it. But are there forces even more sinister at hand?
Co-written by the team of David S. Goyer (a veteran comic book writer) and director Christopher Nolan (Memento), Batman Begins is a welcome return to the grim and gritty version of the Dark Knight, owing a great debt to the graphic novels that preceded it. It doesn't have the razzle dazzle, or the mass appeal, of Spider-Man 2 (though the Batmobile is cool), and retelling the origin means it starts slowly, like most "first" superhero movies. But it's certainly the best Bat-film since Burton's original, and one of the best superhero movies of its time. Bale cuts a good figure as Batman, intense and dangerous but with some of the lightheartedness Michael Keaton brought to the character. Michael Caine provides much of the film's humor as the family butler, Alfred, and as the love interest, Katie Holmes (Dawson's Creek) is surprisingly believable in her first adult role. Also featuring Gary Oldman as the young police officer Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman as a Q-like gadgets expert, and Cillian Murphy as the vile Jonathan Crane. --David Horiuchi, Amazon.com

- Gotham tramp
Personally I thought the old Gotham tramp nearly walked away with the whole film.
Great film!
Rating: - Knight in not so shining armour!
In preparation for the Dark Knight, I had to re-watch this movie, and to be honest I forgot how good it was. These movies re-invent the Batman in a much more realistic and plausible way than the orginal 90's movies. The really changes the way you feel about the character and the setting, it changes from being a comic book adaptation in an over the top Gotham, unbelievable gadgets and unbelievable villians to something that with a little bit of imagination may actually be happening around us.

The Plot
Batman Begins follows the life of Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), who, after losing both his parents, decides to rid Gotham City of the Criminals of the Underworld. Firstly he meets Ducard (Liam Neeson) who trains him in the Himalayas. On returning to Gotham, he asks for the help of Lucius Fox (Morgan Freemen), a technician and scientist who designs his suit. After facing one of the more notourious gang leaders, Carmine Falconi (Tom Wilkinson) befriends Gotham Detective, Jim Gordon (Gary ... Read More

- Really great...but The Dark Knight is better...
Okay, first of all, technically I saw the Batman movies the wrong way round, i.e. I saw The Dark Knight first, which is really incredible, a definite must-see for anyone. About a month later, I watched Batman Begins and I wanted to feel the same way, but I was left wanting more.
Don't get me wrong, it gives a brilliant insight into the character of Bruce Wayne, and a thoroughly satisfying origin of Batman, as well as several fantastic action sequences (the sword fight on the frozen lake looks ... Read More
Rating: - "As Bruce Wayne ...I'm flesh and blood ...I can be destroyed. But as a symbol ...I can be incorruptible."
The producers have invested a lot of solid ideas to provide foundations for a successful future in this Lazarus of film franchises. Tim Burton initially gave Batman a solid, dark-fairytale start, over time it slipped from surreal quirkyness to awful, cliché ridden pantomime - seemingly killing off any chance of a further sequel. It needed totally gutting and building from scratch, a genuine re-imagining was required for it to be taken seriously again - and here it is...
