Not as great as the second part but still a good and entertaining movie. Christian Bale was good in this first one - I think he looked a bit pale in the second film compared to Heath Ledger's performance - but in this one I liked him.
The first of the new franchise, it tells the real origin of Batman beautifully, with some great performances from the supporting cast (especially Michael Caine as Alfred). The world of Batman made real for the first time.
It has a much different feel to it than the Dark Knight, and so did the Dark Knight Rises for that matter, which is interesting consdering how well the three work together.
This one has almost a mystery feel to it, whereas TDK is a crime thriller, and TDKR, a war movie.
I'm sorry for all the people who don't watch this and the dark knight because "they are about superheros and they are for boys"
The two movies are very very great for me.

Haven't watched it for a while, but really enjoyed it again. Good balance of action and drama. Good stuff, only a bit too long.Captain Qynce

Excellent origin story with a great plot & structure that weaves the comic mythos into a reality based thriller. 9/10.Follow me on Twitter @LastFilmSeen

Much prefer it to The Dark Knight. I actually almost liked Christian Bale in this one.Lemonball679
Excellent. I feel sorry for it forever being cast in the Dark Knights shadow when it is as good as (and in some ways better than) it's successor.noyougirls
I liked Batman Begins, but I would have liked it better without Katie Holmes.acurisur
Better than Dark Knight, as this one focuses more on Batman, Dark Knight focuses too much on Joker.roxannepena
I think this is a better movie than The Dark Knight.Dieguito
