Oh it’s so close! The Chris Nolan version of Batman (Batman Begins) is almost here! As such, the early reviews are leaking in. Many of them look great… and some of them look not so great. More of them lean towards the positive side. Here’s a little example of what is being said out there:
“In a year when the franchise watchword is ‘dark’, this delivers the full noir with a side order of dementia.”
— Kim Newman, EMPIRE MAGAZINE [UK]“This is the best Batman movie ever by far.”
— Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER“In Memento, Nolan and his editor, Dody Dorn, created a new syntax for movies. It’s depressing to see Nolan now relying on the same fakery as everyone else.”
— David Denby, NEW YORKER“the film is so brilliantly realized on virtually every level that it’s hard to imagine any Bat-fan being remotely disappointed.”
— Stefan Halley, HERO REALM
