Just saw it at my favourite screen in Camden.
Well...it was good, very good. After all the crap Batman movies we've had, finally we have a film that gives the character some punch, some dark volatility.
Bale did a good job, as did Oldman and Caine. Neeson was average and the bint was nothing special.
But the sound...the sound was very well done. I found my hair standing on end the first time the Scarecrow put his mask on, and also when the armoured vehicle was being test-driven in-doors. You'll see (or hear) what I mean.
I recommend it.

Is it as good as the 1989 film that spawned the A500's Batpack?
Also, is it suitable film to take my 6 (Nearly 7) year old son to watch? It's a 12A so he's allowed to watch it with an adult present, but I'd prefer for someone who had seen it to tell me.
Cheers.

It is the best of the lot, from an adult perspective, but teenagers and kids would perhaps prefer the first one. As to letting your 6-year old see it, I think not, purely because of the Scarecrow. I don't think the film is aimed at children at all. Some of the scenes will be a bit much for him.

I thought it might be a bit scary for him. The promo stuff is very dark.
Never mind Madagascar (http://www.uip.co.uk/madagascar/main.php) it is. :-)

Yep, Batman Begins was pretty good. Quite a change from the last few Batman movies. Indeed it was worth every penny paid for the ticket. :-)
Whether Batman Begins is better than the first Batman movie is debatable. Darker and more mature yes, but better? Hmmm. I wouldn't say so. :-)

X-ray,

Ja, it was a good movie, for me the best of the lot, but then again my tastes have changed slightly since the original 80s movie. So far I'm on a lucky streak: several nice films in a row.
