Batman Begins [Blu-ray] [2005] [Region Free]

The start of Batman/Bruce Wayne's battle against crime. Excellently done and doesn't disappoint. Looks fabulous on Blu-ray too...

Upgraded to blu-ray. No regrets.

Now I will have nothing bad said about the older Batman films, they are fondly remembered as incredibly good fun and well worth the occasional watch, especially Batman and Robin, despite what is said about them. They are however films that were made to be entertainment; focusing on action and `jokes' rather than character development and plots, they were simple, more about popcorn stuffing than existential thought which isn't always a bad thing and not something to moan over (unless you have to pay today's popcorn prices that is) with Batman Begins we have a game changer as Batman gets clever, Batman gets psychological. Batman Begins is all about the birth of the Dark Knight, for the first time he has depth, rather than just being a faceless superhero cipher. Batman is given an edge, he walks the line, in this film it is not as simple as him jumping in on the bad person and beating him up anymore. It is only accidental circumstances which prevent him from being the bad person. This contributes to the thrill of the film; we are on the edge with him or the whole time and we become invested in the choices that keep Bruce Wayne a man who uses the monster for justice rather than a monster who is merely a force unchecked by will, if that puts you off don't worry there is a load of action as well. Batman Begins is gritty in a way that the older films never were and it really benefits from it. If there is one problem with the film it is that perhaps the Scarecrow villain was a bit underused, he seems to be there to pad out certain parts of the plot and it feels like he could have been a rather interesting and quite deep character had he been more fully explored. In the grand scheme of things its only a small gripe. Camera work does the job nicely enough, it is not overly spectacular or overly introspective but it fits in well for a big blockbuster; nothing too complex, just enough to make it a good watch, it never gets in the way and with films like these (that is designed to make money rather than be an artistic piece) that is what counts. This film stands as a truly great comic book adaptation well worth multiple views and well worth spreading the news about.

super film a découvrir pour ceux qui ne l'ont toujours pas vu! toujours aussi bien interpréter (autant que les autres Batman) et une super histoire! on ne s'ennuie pas.

Good seller.

Wow, talk about a franchise facelift!! This film was easily the best film of 2005, cracking entertainment all round. So what made it so good? Let's start with the cast, this was successful not just because it had a wonderfully talented A list cast, it was successful because each actor gave their best to their character without trying to outdo their co-stars. In roles big or small (some were only on screen for 5 minutes like Ken Watanabe or Rutger Hauer) they still gave their best while allowing others to shine around them. As talented as they are can we say that about Jack Nicholson in Batman or Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey in Batman forever? It was great to see actors with real talent such as Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and Liam Neeson making their characters really come to life, not to mention people like Tom Wilkinson and Cillian Murphy giving great turns as the villains. There are some outstanding performances but the ones that really stand out for me are without a doubt Michael Caine as Alfred and Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne. This was another key reason for the film's success, it was the first film where the character's of Bruce Wayne and Batman was BOTH impressive. It was brilliant how they showed Bruce Wayne's obsession with bats and how he eventually used his fear to his advantage This is not the case in any of the other Batman films. The story gave both personas a backbone and a real history. My father who hates super hero and fantasy films (he hates Star Wars and LOTR as well!!)of all kinds walked in when I was watching it on DVD at the beginning and actually said it was a great story and he came away very impressed with the acting as well. The score which although had no real identifying theme like Spiderman or Superman had a riveting, pulsating beat which really added to the tense and scary atmosphere. Make no mistake this is a scary film, I defy anyone not to feel scared when the Scarecrow dons his mask and attacks the minds of his victims, or watches Bruce Wayne faces his fear of Bats. I defy anyone not to feel exhilarated and tense as Batman moves through the night (where most of this film is set)to take out the goons one at a time. That is another element to the films success, the action. I am not just talking about the set pieces such as the Car Chase or the monorail sequence. No slow mo antics of bullet time or fancy martial arts ala Hero or Matrix. I am talking about the vicious and brutal hand to hand fighting. What makes it so impressive is how the camera is focused upon the henchman as they stare terrified into the darkness waiting for the Batman to snatch another one away. It shows how Batman can engage a number at a time and take them out so swiftly it is almost hard to follow. The only time this has been matched so realistically is in the Bourne films and thankfully unlike Bourne this is no shaky camera routine. So is there any downside? Only one spring to mind and that is the role of Rachael Dawes played by Mrs Tom Cruise. I am not against good female characters in these action films, quite the contrary but this one although trying to come across as a determined lawyer trying to bring justice to Gotham, simply turned into a bit of a self rightous do gooder. If her character did not exist the story would barely need any changing at all, I could not say that about most of the other roles. This I believe is partly due to the story and partly due to how she was portrayed. A great moment for me came at the end when they slipped in a reference to Batman's greatest arch nemesis from the films, TV series and of course the comics. I do not think I need to name him but what an agonising wait it has now been as a result for the sequal, one which has been whipped to fervour by the latest media hype!! So all in all this was a truly cracking film and one highly recommended to all.
