Awful! Inane dialogue, terrible acting, predictable action. Just a total, ridiculous, atrocious mess. It has none of the charm of the Tim Burton Batman films, brainless writing, and it goes on and on and on seemingly forever. I can't Awful! Inane dialogue, terrible acting, predictable action.

I can't believe anyone enjoyed this. These critics have lost their minds, as far as I can tell.… Expand

Almost unwatchable.Christian Bale is an awful Batman almost as been as George Clooney.Morgan Freeman has no business being in a Batman or comic book movie.Katie Holmes is unbearable to watch and annoying to listen to and she should go back Almost unwatchable.Christian Bale is an awful Batman almost as been as George Clooney.Morgan Freeman has no business being in a Batman or comic book movie.Katie Holmes is unbearable to watch and annoying to listen to and she should go back to making tv drama shows like back in the day.I hate the new Batmobile,get the old batmobile back.The bad guy in the movie was awful I don't know who he was supposed to be.The fighting scenes was terrible because the camera was jumpy its like a 5 year old shot the scenes.Michael Keaton was the best Batman although he wasn't perfect.I think its really difficult to find an actor to play Batman.… Expand

Why all of the glowing reviews? The characters are all paper thin. The plot is horrible.

Katie Holmes was terrible for the role of Rachel Dawes.

It might be the best batman movie in since the original, but that's not saying much. This movie is boring, in fact, it's so boring that I almost walked out of the theater.

This movie is boring, in fact, it's so boring that I almost walked out of the theater. I love superhero movies/comic book adaptations (good ones at least a la Spiderman 2 and X2). The action sequences in this movie are stupid, you can't see anything. The camera is to close the scenes are too burry-- it's hard to tell if someone is being kicked, punched, thrown or grabbed. The villains in this movie are dumb too. They never really are developed enough for me to care one way or another about them. I didn't care about cillian murphy's character or his stupid potato sack mask, and I certainly didn't care about Liam Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul. These could've been cool characters but they just never became awesome like they should've been. The new batmobile is horrendous, it's so bad that I don't think written words can describe it. The plot is all over the place with characters coming back out of no where, with no real explanation (even though they try to give you a bs answer). I have to admit though, everything up until the end of the training scenes were great. Oh yeah, Christian Bale's "Batman voice" is really annoying too. The only people that liked this movie are fanboys that don't know right from left, people that always follow the hype, and peons who get excited by trains and explosions. So I'll repeat my original statement: It may have been better than all the movies since Tim Burton's Batman, but that REALLY isn't saying much. This movie is a turd.… Expand

Batman begins is not the superhero movie at all. Quite anomalous and deviated from the original Tim Burton 'Batman' style, Batman in Batman begins is the person, not a hero anymore.

Worse than Batman & Robin. I was so psyched, man. The promo material was great. Nolan directing. Too good to be true. Indeed. The first of many disappointments that marked my early adult life. I hate the world for loving this movie.

I thought this was one of the worst movies I had ever seen in my life I can't believe anyone liked this. Christian Bales voice when disguising it was so corny and fake it was ridiculous.

Intriguing origin story, but with a bland and forgettable romance that never seems to take off.
