I forgot to say that I have seen all the Star Wars episodes now and episdoes 2 and 3 were the best.

Star Wars just kicks ass period, although I prefer the original trilogy.

I recently saw Batman Begins, and I can't begin to describe the brilliance of this movie and its style of execution. Perhaps I am biased since I love comics and was into them, but this was the first Batman movie that was an adaptation of the comic so I related to alot of it. I rank this the best Batman movie ever in terms of action, storyline and its realistic nature. I would place Tim Burtons original Batman and Batman returns at a close 2nd and 3rd. The Batmans after that simply sucked and got a little to colorful for my tastes.

Which one was the Batman with the Penguin? I hated that one. It was so disturbing.

That was Batman Returns directed by Tim Burton. It was still better than the ones that followed.

Wow Spiral and Mouse, I can't believe I forgot about Cinderella Man and Batman Begins. These 2 movies are by far the best movies I have seen this year. Batman Begins will probably go into my top 10 movies of all time because of it's brilliance like the mouse said especially compared to the others, this showed Batman the way it should be. And Cinderella man was just one of those movies that you love and I give that a 9.0 and Batman Begins a 9.4, two Exceptional movies this year.

Yes, I'm glad that this film was a return to the dark/gothic Batman of the early '90s. Director Christopher Nolan got a little flashback-happy at times. The cast was uniformly good. Cillian Murphy was very creepy as the Scarecrow, every time he was on screen I felt a chill run down my spine. I certainly hope they develop his character more in the sequel. Liam Neeson was given the role of Ducard, who ends up being one of the main villains, although his screentime is limited. Hey, it's better than his thankless role in "Kingdom of Heaven." Morgan Freeman played his usual authorative, sagacious, dirt poor character. Even Katie "I'm engaged to Tom Cruise" Holmes was tolerable in this. Otherwise, the only other person that I didn't entirely embrace was Christian Bale. He simply tried too hard when he was in costume. I'm talking about his voice, of course. Was he trying to sound like Harvey Fierstein?

I actually liked the performance of Christian Bale, and he achieved a success in separating Batman from Bruce Wayne, playing each role successfully. Previously I would just see Michael Keaton in the bat suit and I wouldn't think that's Batman, I'd just think it's Michael Keaton in a bat suit. There was a certain aura of realism that pervaded this one, that was lacking in all the previous Batman's, which is why it was closer to its comic book roots.

No it was not. You are obviously lying.
