 A Great Beginning to Blu-Ray January 3, 2009
This was my first blu-ray and it certainly started off my new PS3 with a bang! The High Definition quality is outstanding and it really proved to me the power of my HD-TV. As for the Disk as a Blu-ray its awesome.
The movie by itself is groundbreaking for the Batman series. This reboot really saved the falling franchise after Schumacher. The combination of David Goyer and Chris Nolan writing the film really serves the most justice. The story is so original and fresh compared to the previous films. The acting comes at a close second. The all-star cast really pulls through and delivers real mortal lives. Christian Bale is a fantastic Batman and Michael Caine makes an even better Alfred. Our villains are well rounded but I wanted to see more of Scarecrow. I thought the idea was great to have him in this film and I was kinda longing for more. However, the film is a blast and any normal human being should find some enjoyment out of it.
The special features are pretty interesting. The behind the scenes clips are fun, and the In-movie commentary is cool enough. Pretty much has your basic special features.
If you own a Blu-ray player you gotta pick up this flick. No collection will be complete without it.
 Great special effects but? December 29, 2008

Ok I am going to rant a little.I thought the movie was good for an action film,but for a Batman movie ,NO.They always have to change things that are from the the original story,Why.OH I forget,it's artistic license.BULL .Someone said that this makes the joker more real,like batman is real in the first place,he is a fantasy character,no human can do that stuff.they should of left the Joker the way he was.People can still read between the lines and get the hidden meanings.You do not have to make him more human for us to get it.Quit changing it,like making Raz al Ghul as Batmans teacher in Batman begins.
How about making the movie for us not your artistic selves.Become a painter if you want to be artistic.Well at least the cartoons usually stick to the original story line.
I said I just wanted to rant and this gives me a chance to say how I feel about these producers and their artistic talent crap.
Batman Begins December 26, 2008
I went crazy in the theater watching this movie. Would highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of Batman.
 3 stars out of 4 December 18, 2008
The Bottom Line:
The best Batman movie yet made (including The Dark Knight), Batman Begins suffers only from a miscast Katie Holmes and an extremely over-the-top Tom Wilkinson as it portrays Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman about as realistically as possible; a superhero movie for the modern age.
Disappointing Audio December 18, 2008
All 4 Warner Brothers blu-ray movies I own that are rated Dolby TruHD only play as Dolby Digital 5.1 on my new Sony S-550 blu ray player and Denon 3808ci AV receiver, both updated with the latest firmware. The movies are "The Ultimate Matrix Collection", "The Dark Knight", "Batman Begins" and "Blade Runner". I have not had this problem with movies from other studios. For example, "Top Gun", "The Godfather", "Ironman", "The Hunt for Red October", "Men in Black", and "Transformers". However, these movies are also disappointing because while they play DolbyTrueHD sound, they are limited to 5.1 channels. However, I must say that despite that, "Transformers" has an awesome TrueHD sound track with unbelievable spatial resolution. The only movies I own which actually play 6.1ch or 7.1ch are "Wall-E", "The Curse of the Black Pearl (POC)", "Total Recall" and "Pan's Labyrinth". All are DTS HD, not Dolby Digital. It's a shame that blu-ray movies are not being made with audio to match the video.
