Been To See 'BatMan'

[Bush Tucker Man]

in one word  WOW!!!

What a great film.
Waynes progression through hid formative years is a tough one, by his own choice.
The finding of the Bat-Cave.

And the first scene as 'the Dark Knight'  :shock: , superb!

Gotham actually looks like a normal city, not Tim Burtons (albeit still good) version

Inspired casting.
Michael Caine does work as Alfred
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox (B-M's Quarter-Master)
Gary Oldman as a young Sergeant James Gordon

And as for Christian Bale. Spot on!

BatMobile is great fun as well

Go See This Movie!!!

Very open ending with an Arkham Asylum villain leaving his 'calling card' for the Police..............

[Jake]

Cant wait to see this!!
Patience my boy, patience  :D

[Vam]

Thanks BTM!

Seeing it tommorow can't wait!

[Bush Tucker Man]

Hope you enjoy it Helen.

It was just a quick posting last night as I was pushed for time.

Once more, it is a treat, and the concept of a gleaming vibrant Gotham seems quite alien, but it actually works.

As Bruce is preparing his armoury, the first drive of the 'BatMobile' is quite good :D
It was on 'Top-Gear' last week & is quite a beast.

Fox (Morgan Freeman) figures out what Bruce is doing, he doesn't actually say it, but he put '2 & 2 together'.

Oh & Rutger Hauer is in it as well, as a slimey Exective.

I think the detail which struck me most abou tit was how little like a comic it seemed, there appeared to be a concerted effort to make everything seem real, or at least plausible.  

The technology is currently beyond us, but yet, still achievable, the characters were driven by things we could all understand.

The acting was quite remarkable as well, not an ounce of show stealing in any of the cast, they genuinely wanted to make a film version of batman more in key with "The Dark Knight Returns" than with Adam West's camper than a field full of boy scouts.

I want a sequal already ...  (pout)

Couldn't agree more

Agreed again, but the 60's TV series was a child of its time, all 'pop-art culture'. Very Andy Warhol, with it's 'Zap, Pow, etc....'

I want a sequal already ...  (pout)

Well the last sequence on top of GCPD left it wide open.......... :D

Sounds brilliant  !

Blade Runner brilliant

'And all those moment will be lost in time..... like tears in the rain'....


Sorry sad film git taking over  

[Vam]

That was brilliant!

It was the movie all the others should have been.

If anyone else sees it HWMBO and myself were convinced that Batman reffered to the car as 'the Stig'

We both heard it, or misheard it.

It is a must see, though a bit scary in places  for the wee ones

[Bush Tucker Man]

Glad you liked it Helen,  it was well worth seeing.


I got grief off the 'Chav' (bro-in-law) on Saturday as I told him I'd been to see it.
He got all grumpy & asked why I hadn't asked him to go.
As I explained;
1. He'd have still been out in his BT van at 17:00
2. He was due to babysit whilst his other half went out.
3. He's a bit of a 'Chav' & someone might see me with him

Top movie, very well done, fight scenes reminded me of the TV show and comices, where you dont actully see the blows.
