Chris Stuckmann reviews Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Liam Neeson, Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanabe, Tom Wilkinson, Morgan Freeman, Rutger Hauer. Directed by Christopher Nolan.
Bruce's parents are killed?!!!!! Dude spoiler
*He's being sarcastic.*
*[ A S T E R I S K S I N T E N S I F Y ]*
Dude it's in the first hour of the movie, you're good.
Harvey dent is Batman
Cody Mckinnon It’s sarcasm…
As great as the dark knight is. I honestly believe Batman begins doesnt get enough love.
Agreed. I think its the best one.
Cesar Acosta I mean, when you're the "least perfect" movie in a trilogy that is completely perfect, things like that may happen
+Kris Sosa What, TDKR is waaaay worse than BB.
Ben D. That may be your opinion, but in mine (and, rewatching his review, Chris'), I would say TDKR was better. To be honest, not only was TDKR my personal favorite from the trilogy, it was my favorite movie period until last year when I saw Hacksaw Ridge.
this movie was terrible lmao
Batman Begins is so underappreciated. Honestly, it's an amazing film and is the most "Batman" movie we've ever had. I love it. I could watch it over and over. Because The Dark Knight is one of the greatest films ever made, BB gets looked over which is a crime.
Stewart Fletcher only reason it gets looked over is because when we first saw the trailer we thought of the last Batman movie before that which was horrible. But it truly is a masterpiece
Yeah, BB gets treated like Dark Knights ugly sister :(
It's the best of the trilogy in my mind. So well paced and so interesting.
In my opinion Batman Begins is the best film in the trilogy. something about that film was just awesome. the comics accurate orange color scheme, the dark gritty atmosphere, cinematography and editing style was the best in that film.
Stewart Fletcher yeah this film and Mask of The Phantasm are probably the most focused Batman films. I think Dark Knight and Rises is too yeah Bane steals the show sometimes but not like Heath Ledger did. I prefer The Dark Knight ,but this film is amazing too.
Back then, people thought this was a prequel to Burton's Batman and gave his Batman films a lot more credit.
Batman begins can be a prequel to any Bat man film.
@@SATDS The Dark Knight trilogy is completely separate to other Batman iterations
Thank u Batman and Robin for being so bad that we got this movie
Cool movie!
I remember one of the first trailers for the movie you couldn't even tell it was a Batman movie right away. It just showed Bruce Wayne wandering on a journey in the mountains.
It's always darkest before the dawn...
Two benefits came from B&R - Batman Begins and the endless joy derived from angry internet critics destroying B&R in their videos.
As much as i dislike Christian Bale, i have to confess, Val Kilmer was even worse! Though i will never tire of Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday in Tombstone! Performance of a life time! ;)
"I never got to say thank you...."
"... and you'll never will."
One of my favorite Batman lines ever.
James Burgess "and you'll never have to"*
I'm definitely with you here, love the final chat between Gordon and Batman.
It is always so great to watch that scene.
Have you guys noticed that in all 3 The Dark Knight movies, it is Gordon who always got to speak with Batman the last time.
twitter.com/imarchit19/status/864132796356321281
James Burgess A line only made better by the fact that he says that to Gordon again in the Dark Knight, to which Gordon tells him "Yes, I do!"
Lol the only person Batman wanted a thank from was Catwoman lol
Batman Begins 10/10
The Dark Knight 10/10
The Dark Knight Rises 10/10
TDK Trilogy>MCU & DCEU
I could not have said it better. I 100% agree. Masterpieces like these will never get old!
TDK Trilogy>Every other comic book movie
Asking Steven Motionless the dark knight rises ok, i’d give it a 7. I’d give Batman begins a 8 as well it feels very dated and I find the action very poor.
Wtf comparing nolans masterpiece to MCU😂😂
Batman Begins 9/10
The Dark Knight 10/10
The Dark Knight Rises 8/10
Cillian murphy is so underrated at this movie.
stfu i bet you didnt even know about him before peaky blinders
@@paveantelic7876 umm... I have never even watched it...
What exactly is he rated in this movie?
@@paveantelic7876 lmao what does peaky blinders have anything to do with this his performance as Jonathan Crane
"Now, I grew up with Batman Begins..."
Me tooo... Hifi
He's says I grow up all the time
This will forever be the Batman, I grew up with
Missed opportunity for Cap to say "Language!" in the intro
fuck it
Gabriel Valhalla so very true
hahaha that would of been so funny
That joke was so overused in the actual movie it comes from that I probably would have thrown up if he did it here. I'm glad he didn't.
Logan: I swear to God.
Batman: SWEAR TO ME!
I literally said he walked right into to when I heard that.
Great job on that intro, Chris!
I don't get it

You don't need to hold back just to give A+ for this movie. Each movies in the trilogy deserves an A+. The Prestige, Inception, and Memento deserve A+. Nolan is just a genius director.
Farhan Marco I would give this movie an A+++++ it's one of the best movies I've ever watched
Insomnia is not a good film though. probably the most weakest film Nolan ever made
@@v-trigger6137 he said imception
@@MM-hi actually I was just pointing the fact that Insomnia is Nolan's weakest movie. which doesn't makes Nolan a "perfectionist" by any chance. (infact no one is a perfectionist, everyone has done some mistakes, we're all human after all)
@@v-trigger6137 A perfectionist isn't someone who makes everything perfect. It's someone who tries to make everything perfect.
While I enjoyed The Dark Knight as much as everyone else, I am in the minority in that I liked Batman Begins even more than The Dark Knight. No superhero movie to date has had better character development, concerning its central character. Not only is Batman Begins my favorite comic book film of all time, it ranks as one of my favorite films of any genre.
I have the same thought when I watch Batman Begins, then I watch The Dark Knight and I am sure of it that that one is the best of the three, but then I watch The Dark Knight Rises and I am definitely sure that the third is the best of the three. It keeps repeating.
RP the dark knight rises is the best!!
I completely agree. It was an extremely satisfying beginning with very interesting character development. I feel this made me love Nolan's Batman more than any of the others.
kadachi16 batman begins is better....no heath ledger, this isnt even a conversation
*+Drake Santiago* I like the way you think
"Admit it nine inch nails; you walked right into that one" I applaud you sir
I thought he was talking about the band first.
that pause between that line and "Swear to me" was awesometacular.
It's a band
Juan Perez The song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash was played predominately in trailers for Logan. The song was written and originally performed by the Nine Inch Nails.
AND it doubles as a joke about Wolverine's claws. Cool, right?
The entire Dark Knight Trilogy is a Masterpiece ! ❤️💚💜
Agree. And we have Batman & Robin to thank for 🤣 the only sad thing is that Bob Kane passed away before he had a chance to view this phenomenal trilogy 😢
Darian Foo Chia Xiang Bob Kane isn't the true creator of Batman
@@jammin_maestro No, the true tragedy is when Bill Finger died before Batman 1989!!
Dude! You missed out the two best lines of the movie! "I never thanked you." "And you'll never have to." Best ending ever.
That intro was actually funny AF
I think Chris is doing this most of his spare time. This time it was just filmed as well.
cringey you mean.
Anish it sucked
Captain America: "Would you two quit your petty squabbling? It's unpatriotic."
Iron Man: "Look who's talking."
Lol it was so spot on XD
This movie is actually my favorite of the trilogy. It's more of a batman movie and Gotham actually looks messed up rather than some fancy city.
Daniel Lado I also find Bale's Batman voice the most tolerable in BB. He actually sounds cool and serious compared to the latter two movies where he borderline ruins every scene he opens his mouth in.
Daniel Lado
1. Begins
2. Rise
3. Knight
@Tropcopter
Man, so refreshing to see that somebody else also notices that. I swear in the scene where he first contacts Rachel as Batman (he saves her from two thugs at a train stop) his voice is absolute perfection. I've always thought man how did he end up so far from that?
PH CLANK Least to greatest
Rise is the worst of the series by far
Stuckman has an impressive Batman impression lmao
I don’t care what anybody says, the opening act and half of this film is some of the best cinema ever. Especially when he is with ras a ghul
I agree
The first act was absolutely phenomenal, just perfect, my god it truly is some of the best cinema ever, and best comic book act ever for me, the feels it gives me i just adore the hell out of the first act, the second act wasn't as good but still great, 3rd act was really great, but i wish we would've gotten more of these training in the snow scenes
the third act is a little meh
@@razkable third act was really good, second act was great, first act is one of the best acts I've ever witnessed
Agree👍
what about Michael Caine as Alfred. He's amazing
Kenny Kenny I think that goes without saying tbh, lol.
My Cocaine is always amazing, even when he's awful
Jaws: The Revenge
"Why do we fall, master Bruce?"
Christian Bale feels like such an underrated actor. Nobody ever seems to talk about him or how much he commits to his roles.
If anything he's overrated, he gets too much praise.
I think that tape of his breakdown on Terminator Salvation cost him a lot of love from critics and fans. But you are right, the dude can act, You can't watch American Psycho, The Machinist, and The Prestige and say otherwise.
It's strange,because Bale makes everything he can for any role.As an actor he really shines in such films as American Psycho,Machinist,Rescue Dawn and Harsh times.Some of those films almost only depends on his acting.This is my favourite actor
Hazardous Bill he's just Keanu Reeves with a more varying role types, he's talked about as much as he needs to be
Read the comments above you,watch those films and chose your opinion
Nolan's Batman Trilogy is one of my favorite things on planet earth.
"Admit it, nine-inch nails, you walked right into that one." LOL loved that pre-review bit!
What did Chris mean by "nine inch nails?" Was he referring to the band?
@@reggielovato9525 the pun was Wolverine's claws.
Yea is that the band reference
Batman Begins is a true masterpiece
can't wait to see him fanboy all over The Dark Knight next
Luke Skywalker the 2nd It really is. Without a shade of doubt my favorite Batman movie ever
Michael Carper He already reviewed it. It's on his channel.
It's a prime example, you don't care about prequals, sequals, spinn off's etc. you just make the best movie you can make.
PH CLANK Same dude :)
The Dark Knight may be considered to be a better movie overall, but Batman Begins was a better Batman movie.
Also, Bale's Batman was more badass and his voice was more tolerable in Batman Begins.
so true
Bullseye
Hammer. Nail. Head.
I agree, Begins is a better BATMAN movie. And Dark Knight is more of an epic crime story.
Batman Begins is little underrated. I appreciate TDK and TDKR, but I like that visual/feel that Begins has. It feels more comicbookish/fantasy than the others along with that orange night/color scheme look that later films don't really have.
I agree. BB is my favourite of the trilogy. It has the best soundtrack, best editing and a tight script. Even when the third act really teeters on going off the rails at any moment (pun not intended). Everything works. I would disagree on one thing, personally BB felt more real to me than any of the sequels. There was depth to it, a humanity and it all just felt real, whereas TDK felt like a crime film and TDKR was...a tone deaf trainwreck that didn't know whether it wanted to be a sequel to TDK or BB.
@@drakenfist batman begins is the best in the series imo
nolan palmer
TDKR was NOT a tone deaf trainwreck. It was a great sequel to both BB and TDK.
I agree. It was the perfect balance between Blade Runner and a James Bond film. I liked how beautiful the wet streets and fog worked in this movie. Nolan even cast Rutger Hauer as an homage to BR.
@@drakenfist i completely agree BB is my favorite out of the three as well
Don't apologize for giving a great movie an A+.... This trilogy of films are the best superhero movies that I have ever seen. So little humor was used that you never felt like you may be watching a comedy with superheroes . These had a serious tone that was used in the comic books that I read coming up. WB should not have rushed the DCU films.....
Oh shut the fuck up you fucking loser.
@@latrolettteeeeeee Awe... Did someone take your pacifier : ((
Chris stuckmann deadpool voice 9/10
4:19 That's my favorite shot in the whole Dark Knight trilogy. Still get chills seeing Batman standing there with the rising sun in the horizon and the music hitting just right.
Wtf the intro tho, voices on point.
Batman: SWEAR TO ME!!
Flass: save.. Martha
Batman: *gasps*
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?!?!?
Zaid Ahmad
Glass: Cops like to say it sometimes!
Batman: Do I look like a cop!
Batman Begins is the best live action Batman film, don't get me wrong I love Heath Ledger's Joker but this film felt like an actual Batman film, from his origin to the score and the supporting cast. But really the biggest thing that makes this my favorite Batman film is Gotham, unlike Gotham in TDK and TDKR the Gotham here felt like it's own character, much like The New York in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films.
Probably it's because the way the city was shot, here you can see the common people live there and witness poor and messed up places like alleys while also having Batman getting to those places, then in the next movies the city was depicted in a way more realistic way as well.. "Chicago".
Batman Begins shot inside a gigantic studio for the Gotham slums called "The Narrows" and Monorail. TDK and TDKR dropped that aesthetic for Gotham.
Thomas Reyna It was so cringe when they threw food at the green power ranger
What? Power Ranger?
Nineteen1900Hundred green goblin
RD- We could die. At least tell me your name?
Batman- It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me!
RD- Bruce?
Batman: *Suddenly jumps off of rooftop while mumbling to himself* "Fuck! She knows who I am now!"
I hated that moment! The same thing happens in the third film. Commissioner Gordon and Batman before he flew the bomb out of the city. Two words: Plain Stupidity.
Kian M.Tamar no your wrong BITCH those were beautiful moments
"Swear to me" killed me!
Wait, but Batman doesn't kill...
He does actually
Abram Sullivan he only kills if the man is to dangerous, or has too much power, but he doesnt kill unarmed guy, batman shows mercy
Abram Sullivan No he doesn’t.
I wish I could be in a theatre in 2005, expecting another Batman and Robin.
I absolutely love the Batman Begins suit! It looks so menacing and bad ass! Definitely my favorite.
But it's rather uncomfortable if you think better.The dark knight suit looks modern and allows batman to move his head in any direction.
While the suit looks cool. I think the original's suit had a better design to it.
Unfortunately since the dark Knight trilogy ended,people started shitting it and i don't know why?😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠
Is batman begins anyone else's favourite from the dark knight trilogy?
No
TDK was a better movie because Ledger was amazing. Bale was a better character in Batman Begins though.
I love TDK but I have to admit Begins is my favorite in the series. It was such a shift from the other superhero stuff and made a big shake-up in the industry like Chris says...in fact I partly credit it's success for us getting ''Bond Begins" aka Casino Royale a year later.

I'm not a huge Bond fan and I haven't seen CR before even though I always knew it was awesome.
This description though, makes me really want to watch CR now! :D
The Dark Knight trilogy made me cry, because they got Batman right. And this is one of best depictions of a superhero on film.
TDK Trilogy > The Entire MCU
I also cry every time I see the dark knight Trilogy, I doubt any one else could make such an emotional and quality story driven with spectacular action packed movie in future!! I also got irritation on that scene where Katie Holmes's Rachel responded coldly on recieving news of Bruce conning back may be she was shocked to listen that's what mr. Nolan tried to depict and that's why that kind of an edit otherwise the trilogy is nearly perfect!! ( Nothing is perfect in this world, I guess🙂)
If only Bob Kane was still alive when this came out. He would have died a happy man. But at least we have Batman & Robin to thank for 🤣
TDK Trilogy> The entire MCU AND The entire DCU.
I wonder how you think the new Batman fairs in comparison. I’m still biased for the old Dark Night trilogy
@@stood6488 I just got out of The Batman and I must say, that it’s a great movie. Not sure if it’s better than The Dark Knight as a film, but as a classic Batman film, this is it.
A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as finally posting a review for Batman Begins, to let his fans know that his taste in movies was still good.
This video deserves a W just because of that intro. Seriously the greatest Stuckman intro ever.

Best intro quote to a review in human history.
“It’s a Perfect A+ Trilogy” lmao

CHRIS DOES A GREAT BATMAN VOICE
who voiced the other characters?
Sharil Shahed - I think Chris did all the voices
I think the voices told Chris to do the voices
That is why they casted him as Batman... Oh wait, You mean CHRIS Stuckmann and not CHRIStian Bale?? :P

BEST. INTRO. EVER.
Intro almost made me wanna leave. It was so bad & cringy.
Yeah, I gotta say the intro was horrible.
Josh Daly I actually loved it. lol.
That intro was 'alcohol required'. But Chris is still the best reviewer, hands down.
Chris C YourMovieSucks, BobbyBurns, ralphthemoviemaker, Georg Schmidt, Kermode, The Flick Pick are all examples of better film reviewers
Gordon: "I never said 'thank you'".
Batman: "And you're never gonna have to"
Man... Every single time this scene breaks me. It's the essence of the hero in one sentence. I literally cry whenever I watch this.
While this is still one of my favorite comic book films, I think there is one thing you can fairly acknowledge as weak, and it’s the action. The action in this film reminds me a lot of the lightsaber fight in A New Hope. A 10/10 on a character level, but a mess as a fight. There is a lot of shaky cam and weak choreography in this film. Both heavily improved in the future films.
I respect your opinion, but I actually like the shaky cam. It makes Batman seem like some sort of demon, which in the movie, when Gotham doesn’t know who he is, he might as well be. They changed it in the later films because obviously everyone knows who the Batman is and what he looks like.
@@alfredgarcia6844 The sad thing is I’ve grown to dislike this film a bit more since that comment
@@Dingo-wk5ed Ok, there's not a single world where that's true for me, but I respect your opinion.
@@alfredgarcia6844 fair
Honestly, Christophwr Nolan has always suffered in the action choreography department to one degree or another in all three of these movies. I hate shaky cam in general, but the first few times when he was Batman, both in the docks and under Arkham, felt absolutely fitting. It made sense that you wouldn't see him coming and that it would be a flurry of fists and shadow, because that's exactly how the criminals perceived him. The more Batman comes out in the open and just does straight up melee combat, the less good the action looked in each proceeding film. Say what you want about Batfleck vs. Bale, but Batfleck has Bale beat in terms of the raw physicality of his combat choreography. Nolan and Goyer's occasionally stiff dialog aside, the combat is one of the precious few gripes I have with these movies. This Batman really should've committed more to stealth. As much as I love all three movies, he may as well not have been trained by literal ninjas at all in TDK and TDKR based on how little he actually used the stealth, distraction and deception that Ra's ahl Ghul and Batman so heavily emphasized in BB. While I don't believe BB is the best movie in the trilogy, I do think it's probably the film where Bruce feels the most like Batman and not just a really good brawler. Nobody really watches these movies for the action stunts anyway. It's all about that delicious drama and atmosphere.
A film legend has recently pass away may you look and review his work to honor his memory. R.I.P George Remero.
AKA THE ZOMBIE MAN, right?
yeh that guy was a genius by creating a total multi-billion dollar genre!
This the review we deserve, and very much need right now.
*Me* : who are you? *Chris* : I'm Stuckmann!
I want to know why that water vaporizing weapon didn’t kill everyone. Why wouldn’t it vaporized all the water humans are made up of??? How did it choose water pipes from humans?
I like Batman Begins just about as much as The Dark Knight. The first half is complete perfection, but the second half (starting with the Scarecrow stuff) is not quite as great. It's still awesome, but just not complete perfection like the first half.
That last scene with Scarecrow on that horse, while hilarious, kind of disappointed me. It felt like there were much better ideas they could gone with.
Agreed. I wonder about the people who say they just 'kept waiting for Batman to be on screen'. When the greatest parts of the film was almost everything *before* Batman was in the suit. The drama of Bruce's life was made truly compelling here. I knew I was watching something special when I was so invested in the scenes with Bruce walking out of the court room about to shoot his parent's murderer, someone else doing it before him, the Falcone confrontation...
I had to step back for a second because I nearly forgot I was watching a "superhero movie".
Absolutely. This is the origin of Batman - no reason to suit him up early on, especially given how silly the premise of a rich guy dressing as a bat to fight crime can be. The opening sequences are the best origin story a superhero has ever gotten, and it declines in quality after Falcone is gone. It's not bad - it's still really good and the final showdown is epic - but the first half succeeds on every level so it's still a slight letdown. The Scarecrow is a really bad fit for such a grounded movie, and I actually like him far more in his brief cameos in the last two films.
The Dark Knight never reaches the peak Batman Begins does in the beginning, but it is entirely consistent and grounded in a way Begins simply wasn't and it's only marginally worse than the best points in Begins.
Damn that was a great intro😂
I really loved this film, it was great to watch, with the well placed humor, the intense moments when his parrents die then he has to find himself, train himself to survive and fight back as he slowly conquers his fears and inner demons to become Batman. And I honestly believe this is hands down Leim Neison's best performance, he's so dark and subtle, never losing his cool, always the perfect composure; he nailed the villein in this movie from start to finish. This was the first film in many years where I got physically upset over a negative review a movie reviewer for the local news paper gave this movie stating about part of the movie "Batman learns Karate"; I could just slap that person for oversimplifying the plot of the movie in such blatantly ignorant way, not understanding or even interested in the character of Bruce Wayne and how he becomes Batman.
Greatest Origin comic book movie ever
Wait wait wait a minute hold on.... Batman is BRUCE WAYNE?!!

I watched this movie last night in preparation to the review. Totally holds up 12 years later!
guessing you mean Dunkirk
you watched batman begins in preparation to batman begins?
PEANUT LOL
PEANUT As in Batman-Begins-ception? It's Chris Nolan, what do you expect?
Your profile pic I guess explains what you mean, Flash.
Man when Batman interrogated Flass, that was the most Batman moment in movies. Batman Begins is my favorite Batman movie ever. The chemistry between Alfred and Bruce Wayne and Lucious Fox are some of the best in my opinion.
Everybody was perfectly cast in these films.
Loved this movie! I own all three and I loved them all😀
Truly a deserving rating. However, a flaw for me is how quickly edited the fighting is to a point ya couldn't tell what was going on.
The one sequence at the docks I think is actually quite brilliant because you are supposed to have the point of view of the henchmen. It really makes Batman seem faster and scarier than he should be because the scene is so chaotic. There are a few fight sequences where I can't help with agree with you though.
Adam White Yeah I think that was intended.
Triple Aces555 It suits the film cause you're supposed to see Batman from the criminals' perspective. That's why when we see him from Ra's Al Ghul's perspective, the cuts aren't really that quick because they're both great at fighting.
Oh that was seen that is indeed justifiable. However, they are a lot instances where you just couldn't make out what he hell was going on due to the quick editing. Like when batman fought the ninja's that was on the prison island it was edited to quickly; a lot of the hand to hand combat was brief. Like every punch he is about to make is edited out instead of being a still shot.
Another example is when he fought league of shadows when he decided to burned down their palace. It just feels a bit cheap. Even though the film was meant to be realistic, it's not far fetch to show the audience of he fights.
Great opening😂
STILL one of the best films I've ever watched...such a big influence on me and my love of movies.
I looove this movie. What a way to bring Batman back. When the camera turns with him on that building, it really feels like you're seeing Batman finally becoming the hero everyone knows from the comics and it's so powerful
That intro was brilliant
Please review the Godfather trilogy and the Shining!
I hope he does an analysis video too.
N M i like to see his review of the shinning too
3:27 OMG I can so relate. For years I've listened to that song when I'm late on the road and yeah...it's dangerous lol.
I fear Batman Begins is overshadowed by the Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises
I struggled so much choosing which one was my fav n after watching batman begins now for the 20 th time i realize i actually like batman begins better
@@bironjames9948 Batman Begins is my favorite out of the three and might even be my favorite superhero movie.
@@Devin007V8 facts
That intro was AWESOME!!!!
Chris, I thought you forgot to mention that a lot of the action scenes in this movie were poorly filmed and edited. Nolan didn't know how to film action in his earlier movies, but he finally got it right in The Dark Knight! imo
Yeah, I was expecting him to point that out, since the fight sequences later on were pretty chaotic and difficult to watch, making Batman Begins has the worst fight scenes compare to TDK and TDKR, which have much improved fighter scenes, imo.
I didn't mind the action, a lot of people believed it was from the POV of the henchmen and not being able to see him makes him more intimidating.
I still think it's a legitimate criticism in term of cinematography! Just recently re-watched the entire Dark Knight trilogy and thought the Batman Begins fight scenes look almost as bad as Suicide Squad for how shaky the camera work is. TDK and TDKR on the other hand look pretty fantastic, I would say.
I agree with this criticism, but I would argue that there are still some great action sequences in this film. For example the training scene on the ice, the batmobile chase, and the first appearance of Batman (unless the shaky cam in that scene really annoys you, the rest of it is pretty much perfect).
I think the problem would be how close the camera is during the action, causing me feel a bit unsatisfied for not being able to watch the fight in full glory like TDK and TDKR, but the training scene, fight with League of shadow at first half and the chase sequence are very good.
That "Nice Coat" impression 😂👌🏻
This movie really is great. It's a shame that it gets overlooked so much. The whole trilogy is amazing. The dark knight rises is my favorite though out of the 3.
That Action figure skit was awesome. That was oscar worthy.
Cley FullAnime so is Andy Serkis...😭
LevinJeez 😂😂
that shit was corny
Unlike Batman Begins. Hey, I get the love for The Dark Knight. Heath Ledger made it great. But BB? Yawn. 1/2 an hour too long, another variation on Bruce's trauma, and a drab, dull ninja story nowhere near as good as dozens of similar stories out of the Run Run Shaw factory.
Gods of Egypt hilariocity!!!!
Thank you Christopher Nolan for restoring Batman! We are forever grateful!
So accurate, I don’t know how you can walk away from this movie and not think it’s the best version of Batman/Bruce we have ever seen
The skit at the beginning was literally the best thing I've seen all day and d23 is going on
Best intro ever.
Indeed, a man making voices to his presumably expensive dolls behind glass
5:18 I think the edit (and manily Rachels reaction) is supposed to feel like Rachel’s indifference to Bruce returning to Gotham, while holding her feelings for him back. It’s a small thing that I feel that’s what they were going for.
turixrios I commented on that edit a while back, but revisiting the review (while stuck at home) I still disagree with Chris here. And agree with you. I love Katie’s reaction there. She’s so numb when she hears about Bruce she can’t say or do anything & it all comes through in that quick response and walk to the door. It’s another small in-between moment that makes this movie so great.
That’s not the edit. He means the cut to Bruce talking to the character played by Rutger Hauer. It was kind of quick and a bit disconcerting but the entire film was absolutely perfect.
Chris! The beginning of this review is so great, I had to watch it over and over again :D thank you for doing bits like that in your reviews!
That opening with the figures was funny af.😂😹
Also this movie was a godsend after enduring the horror known as Batman and Robin.
I grew up with Batman Begins
Whiplash95 everyone did it's a masterpiece.
same
Whiplash95 I grew up with shitty memes
Jumping on the bandwagon again? Do you have the capacity to be humorous without the copy and paste buttons?
I don't think it was an awkward edit. It was necessary in some form for Rachel to be informed of Bruce's return to Gotham. Otherwise the meet at the restaurant would have been different, and probably odder if she didn't already know that he had returned. But it does beg the question; why didn't she try to reach out to him upon being informed of his return? If anything her reaction to the news of Bruce's return could have been a little less deer in the headlights. For me, the biggest gripe I had with this movie was the tacked on super weapon plot device that is never eluded to nor foreshadowed, but comes out in the middle of the story like "Hey, did we mention that microwave emitter that is going to play a huge part in this movie, especially at the climax? No? Well, we are going to mention it right now and tell you of its grave importance. Please keep it in mind for the remainder of the film." Still the strongest of the Nolan Bat-films by far.
i think he meant the cut(s), not the scene itself
1:52 Chris Stuckmann was probably thinking of the two “Amazing” Spider-Man movies right there.
Dying is bad for your health

Aidan Dilo One breath a day keeps the dying away

Hey Chris, do a Kill Bill review pls
unpopular opinion: this is lowkey better than the dark knight, or at least more enjoyable
Batman Begins has always been my favorite out of the three
“Swear to me” such power in just a line lol
I grew up with Katie Holmes shitty acting, she single-handedly dropped this from a A+ to a A- lmao
Same.
Anish The action is also poorly directed
That's right, you better run!
Miss X Still better than the fight scenes in the sequels, ESPECIALLY The Dark Knight Rises
She wasn't that bad in this movie
I am glad I learned English because I can enjoy your stuff dude! Love your channel , I am a stuckmannizer from South America
Batman begins was a good origin story BUT in all honesty this review fills very empty and bias idk
Batman begins is in my opinion is better than the dark knight
I was dying when Batmam said "swear to me"
I'm so early I got a notification for this video while watching this video
Unlimited Redux you're the worm
That opening was FUCKING gold! Chris, you should do an entire video with that.
Best superhero origin story ever out to film imo. It's such a great film and trilogy.
Do a review for game of thrones!
no
He Better do a review for Game of Thrones before Season 8 comes out Next year!
MRTUPAC 28 Yes I Agree.
Nolan´s Batman are the only cbms that have been taken seriously out of non-fanboy circuits. Enough said.
sanyrub Nolan fan boys are stupid as fuck!
The thing I find most interesting is the design of Gotham between the movies, Batman Begins has the pieces of the Burton movies left over with the Narrows, but by the time you hit Rises, it's a completely concrete city, no real gothic elements or overwrought steel girders everywhere.
I think Batman 89 maybe superior when it comes to music, butwhen it comes to storytelling, characters, and Batman himself, Batman begins wins.
Cyrus The Great Zimmer did excellent wym
