Batman Begins (2006, HD DVD)

I was not unable to enjoy this movie, since the seller took the money and never delivered the item. Of course I'm very dissapointed, and I tried to got thru ebay channels, but it seems to be a waste of time.

Great Movie, too bad there's no more HD DVD out there it was a great format, I think that it would have taken off more, but then there has to be a winner, so my hats off to blue ray as well. I will keep this copy over my other copy of Batman Begins
Regards

i believe by far this is the best batman movie to come. even the new batman movie The Dark Knight doesn't look near as good as this movie was.

This could be the best Batman movie out to date. The action, detail, cast, brings everything together. I decided to buy this to watch it prior to The Dark Knight coming out in theaters.

This is an excellent regeneration of this super hero. It pulls heavily from the graphic novels The Dark Knight: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. I would recommend this to anyone who likes the series.

good communication. fast shipping. great to deal with. Kept me informed on all their other great deals that were coming up so I could be ready to purchase again if something came up.

Amazing HD DVD tons of extras, and a great movie. Anyone that likes any of the Batman storylines I would highly recommend this movie. Great addition to any collection of movies, and great retelling the beginning of the Batman fictional universe.

Good story telling, true to comic book. Pretty fair special effects. Nice to get HD on the cheap, now that it lost the HD/Blu-Ray war..

I have been a Batman fan since the original TV series and ever saw the first Batman movie in 1966 in the theater on Broadway in Manhattan the weekend it opened. I have seen each subsequent movie the day it has opened and batman Begins has become my favorite. Crisp pacing, authentic fight scenes, excellent special effects, and well acted, plus a modern plot and no comic book humor. This myth has the depth to carry a full length movie and the franchise did not need to become a parody of itself after the second movie.

well i was pretty much waiting for it for like 2 month then i send a message on where is my movie but it appears that he send it but i just never got it so my money just went bye bye, so am pretty piss

HD looks great with this movie. One of the best Batman flicks. If you are looking for a visual experience with HD, then this is one for your collection.

I'VE LOVED THIS MOVIE SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT AND THE NEW HD VERSION HAS BEEN A TREAT FOR ME. THIS IS THE BEST OF ALL THE BATMAN MOVIES AND I HOPE THEY CAN TURN OUT A SEQUEL TO DO IT JUSTICE. THIS MOVIE IS BLESSED WITH GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY AND THE TRANSFER TO HD HAS ONLY MADE IT BETTER. GREAT STORY/EXCELLENT SOUND/GREAT ACTING/GORGEOUS PICTURE. WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR IN A MOVIE?

Thanks for the movie! Very fast shipping, and I was glad to get the movie which was in great shape.......................................................................................................................

Un film sur la naissance d'un mythe. Un film plus noir que le premier Batman et qui nous montre un Christian Bale que l'ont ne connaissait pas dans un rôle qui lui va si bien !

Finally someone got it right...after the last couple of outings, I seriously thought the Batman franchise was beyond repair, but then Hollywood is a land of re-invention, and, in the right hands, miracles do happen...

After watching this film, I couldn't decide if I liked it so much because it was just a great movie, or if it was due to the fact that it was so much better than the last few Batman movies, but then I realized it was a combination of both. Thankfully Nolan and Goyer recognized the state of disrepair the franchise was in and smartly avoided tying themselves to that which came before. Much like Sam Raimi did with Spider-Man, here we see a real understanding of the importance of aligning the film to that from which it came, the comic book (graphic novel, if you prefer), and focusing on adapting to the screen the essence of the characters, rather than trying to `fix what ain't broken'. There's a reason why some of these comic book characters have endured as long as they have, and fans don't appreciate someone coming along and monkeying around with the formula. The first half of the movie focuses on the background of Bruce Wayne, and how he finally came to donning the suit. This may seem like a good deal of time, but it worked for me in terms of fleshing out the characters, and detailing the motivations extremely well. I felt this was time well spent, and an investment that paid off later on...it is true Bale doesn't don the suit until about an hour in, and a great deal of the action is in the back end, but there's enough up front to keep things moving along at a strong pace. One aspect I found particularly interesting was the involvement of the character of Alfred in the story, played by Caine. He was a much more interesting character than in the past, as in prior films he seemed more of just another set piece. Here, he provides a sort of anchor for Bruce, one that doesn't let him slip off into the deep end of his alternate persona. I thought Bale did really well in his role, backed up by a very strong cast. I thought Murphy was excellent as the Scarecrow, exhibiting a quiet quirkiness one would expect from such an odd villain, but never going over the top, which would have felt out of place here, but not in the previous films. I would have liked to seen a little more of his character, but I guess it was better to leave one wanting more than to get too much. Also, I thought Oldman also did very well, bringing to life the character of Jim Gordon, the one, truly honest cop in a force besieged with corruption. I'm always amazed to which the levels Oldman goes to put himself within a character, especially here given the limited amount of screen time he had...I thought most everything on this film was done really well, from the sets, location shots, the overall feel, the strength of the characters, the writing, the pacing, the action, the stunt work, the gritty atmosphere, progression of the storyline, casting, effects...I really dug on that Bat Tank, especially during the exciting chase sequence with the police...you will believe a Bat Tank can fly...and we finally get to see where Batman gets those wonderful toys from...all in all I have to say Nolan and Goyer did an excellent job in bring the characters to life, and I hope the next film continues on the same track. Is this the birth of a new franchise? If the quality, excitement, and fun here are present in future projects, then I hope so...

My wife even liked this one. It is a very good movie. It is more true to the original story and comic books than the "campy" Batman Movies of the 90's. It really showed Batman's darkside and how the character is haunted by his own demons. Christian Bale is awesome in the role. Excellent Movie

What a GREAT movie !! Everyone involved did a fantastic job! From the writers, producers, director, actors, stuntmen and all of the behind-the-scenes folks.

A great job was done on the portrayals of the characters, from Mom & Dad, to Alfred & Bruce, to the mob boss & the creepy scarecrow, to the growth of the careers of James Gordon & Batman, to utilizing the financial & business resources of Wayne Enterprises.

The introduction of all of the very cool Batman “toys”, from the suit to the gadgets, as well as the Batmobile itself, is very well done and highly believable. Everything that Bruce acquires from the Archives Department, could conceivably happen.

Great special effects and great chemistry of the entire cast makes this film a must see & a must have for your video collection.

I would see 30 of these movies provided they are made with the main cast remaining intact as well as the director and writers, and the same attention to detail and character casting that this film has.

Make more !!!

IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE VOTE. THANK YOU !!

This is definitely a movie that is worth seeing. As the title states, this flim shows how batman begins. This is better than most of the comic turned film movies.

It is a good movie and the DVD was in great shape!! It was shipped to me fast and I would by from them again!!

Very well written and acted. A definite notch above the average comic book hero turned film. There are many levels to the character. and while the effects/gadgets are fun to watch, the movie holds up on its own. Looks fantastic in HD. Definitely one for the collection!

I also would have to agree with the other reviewer, this is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, positively the best in the Batman series. The story comes full turn and the understanding of how Batman began. Chistian Bail plays a very good Batman, but still I would have loved to see Keaton play it, but in all it worked. Again the story moved and keep you on the edge of your seat the whole movie... I love it.. and want more..
