Begins is my favourite too, especially that moment after his first big bust where they show him standing atop a tower in relief against the sunrise with the orchestra pulsing in the background. Nolan captured that amazing "IT'S HIM" moment beautifully. I wish Marvel could have accomplished something comparable with Captain America, but I didn't feel quite the same magic. It was still fun, though. Maybe there will be a nostalgic moment in the upcoming Civil War. Rgds

Opinion, opinions... I still think 'Begins' is the worst Bat-movie ever, even worse than Schumasher's comedy/parody ones.

Overhyped? Why? Because it goes beyond being just a super hero movie? It was a near perfect movie. It had excellent acting, a great well told story, Ledger and Eckhart were down right fantastic in their roles and gave it their all. It had a lot of elements of the different eras of Batman in there that matter, was full of practical effects, and had great action scenes. It is THE best super hero movie to date. The only thing that comes close is Winter Soldier.

Regarding Begins, I like it a tad more than Rises but still I have to say that The Dark Knight was just too damn good so that's easily my favorite of the Nolan films. I think that Liam Neeson was pretty damn cool as Ra's Al Ghul and then just in general actually seeing them use Ra's Al Ghul as the main villain was great to me. They could have very easily used Joker or one of his other main popular villains but they went with the lesser know but most challenging villain to him instead so that was cool to see that they weren't just catering to the audience but to actual fans.

I love Begins and it is by far the most accurate adaptation of a Batman comic on screen thus far. The only issue with Begins is sometimes the pacing can be slow depending what type of mood you are in. However, I love it and it was the first Batman movie I had watched religiously since the 89 one.

They look really bad.. almost bootleg. The Movie Masters are certainly not for collectors.
Shame DC Collectables couldn't make em! |

Actually DC Collectibles can make toys for this if they want to since they're DC, they'd just be in 7" scale instead. Will they? Probably no since they seem to only make figures for their stuff that wouldn't be getting toys otherwise: games, specific comic looks, TV shows, and the like. Those things DC that aren't high on Mattel's priorities. Seeing as how this film is hoping to be a blockbuster summer hit it looks like DC is happier to let the actual toy company take the wheel on these, which could indeed be seen as a shame.

Not just Scarecrow and Ra's, but it also had Falconi and Zasz. That was four villains in the movie that was done well.

Absolutely Falcone though he isn't a "super-villain" it makes him better that he's actually one of the gangster characters, Zsasz was really just a cameo for fans but still a fun nod to the comics.

You can't really have a "Year One" story without Falcone.

They should've just went Barbie style for the Batman and Supes figures too... those 6-inch figures are horrible. Reusing that old MoS mold that can't even hit a passable flying pose is just wtf.

I agree with the general consensus here. These toys look like absolute crap. You know a toy line is in trouble before hitting the starting gate when the Barbie is the best of the bunch. I am supremely disappointed here. The ONLY way I would cave and get the 2-pack is if an electronic Batmobile comes along in scale with the figures.

I think it's come to a point where collectors should say "If Mattel doesn't care, why should we?"

In the last 15 years, there has been an EXPLOSION of sources that actually, without any wiggle wording, cater to US, with an appropriate level of quality. Which so happens to cost a LOT more than the TOYS guys like Hasbro and Mattel sell to Walmart. |
