Was pleasantly surprised by Batman - had seen bits of previous films and thought they were pants. This one starts off a bit slow for me, and background sound/music was a bit loud so i lost some of the dialogue. But after a decent fight scene the actiona picks up and the plot goes along nicely

Is it better than the first Batman though?

It looks a bit boring from the trailer I've seen but I might be proven wrong yet.

I'm worried, I loved all the previous Batman films, was happy with the dark arch gothic stuff with Michael Keaton and still happy with Joel Schumachers comic style crash bang wallop in technicolour (or dayglo). I coped with the dreaded 'Mr Wobbly Head' (George Clooney) who didn't massacre the character as badly as I thought he would.
I also coped very well with 'I Did Best In Top Gun and Willow' (Val Kilmer) who was relatively dishy. Although I liked Keaton best.
Christian Bale?? What a great big pile of poop! I cannot abide the man and I hate his characters even more.
Robin was... well.... ok. Batgirl... hmmm, for a dizzy blonde who can barely count, I suppose she did ok. Mr Freeze, The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, Poison Ivy - all excellent.
Is there anything to make me enjoy the film? Anyone?

much better than the first Batman. Its a "proper" film with great actors, a damn good script and a great director.

I suggest you watch 'Equilibrium' Zebra. You may think differently then

We saw it tonight at the IMAX in Manchester. If you can be naffed to get over there it's well worth it.

I thought it was good, but SO many cheesy lines which ruined it for me. I don’t think the director was the best at action scenes either, you couldn’t see what was going on. Having said that I did enjoy it, but not as much as the first one.

Apparently (not seen the film) there is a scene,where Bruce Wayne steals some fruit and hands it to a young boy,the young boy is wearing............A SHEFFIELD UNITED SHIRT!!!

Yeah...that was the only failing in my eyes too. I hate the sudden fad in Hollywood for FTF (****ing the frame), where action is directed with a shaky camera so you can't see what is going on. last year's Bourne Supremacy was flawed by this, and it seems every director wants to do it these days to "give you the feeling of being in amongst the action!"

I don't want to be in amongst the action...I want to SEE the action! Imagine if football matches were filmed in the same manner, with a cameraman running about with a handheld on the pitch! You don't see the goals, but you just assume they happen because of the aftershots! There would be an uproar! Or even boxing matches!

When I go to see action...I expect to see the action, not the tables and walls around it.
