Am I the only one who liked Katie Holmes more than Maggie Gyllenhaal as Racheal Dawes?

Batman Begins is a great movie. The Dark Knight is not.

Maggie's a better actress...she is just unfortunate looking.

I had trouble getting all the way through my second viewing of The Dark Night. I have no urge to ever watch it again. Whereas I can still watch BB occasionally.

Ok now that I've heard from 90% of everyone that I should get it I DEFENITLY will be ordering it. But I have one last question how's the AQ AND VQ of the steelbook for those who have it?

mlittle3 · 06-21-2011, 01:36 AM

One of the biggest weaknesses of Batman Begin's is that Ra's Al Ghul is not really a strong villain. He doesn't even reveal himself until the end of the film and doesn't really project menace the way Health's Joker does. Also, his whole scheme at the end is pure comic book convention. The same "using the superweapon to destroy the city" climax seen in dozens of other superhero films. The Joker is far more interesting because he seeks to destroy Gotham on a philosophical and moral level. There's an intellectualism to his madness missing from villains in the first movie.

Neither..Batman 1989 all the way.

It's the same disc, not a new master. Get the steelbook, it's a nice looking case.

begins is a better movie but the dark knight joker's performance triumphs everything in BB.

if katie holmes was in dark knight it wouldve made a better movie, maggie was ****ing ugly but better actress..

Excuse me? It's seems to be the other way around. I constantly hear people tell me how Katie Holmes is better. Well, not me. I actually preferred Maggie over Katie. I don't see what's so special about Katie Holmes.

Nothing. She just looks better. Shallow, superficial bastards!

I only wish they kept Katie for continuity's sake.

I didn't care much for Rachel no matter who was playing her. I thought she was the weakest part of both movies.

I think that both of Nolan's Batman movies are lame, but The Dark Knight is just awful.

Please post your collection so I can see what to avoid.

Petra_Kalbrain · 06-21-2011, 02:49 AM

The Dark Knight is 1000x better, but for completely different reasons. They are both enjoyable though.

I liked Katie Holmes as Rachel better than Maggie.

I just placed my order for Batman Begins Steelbook, along with my preorder for Blade Runner and The Last Samurai Steelbooks

Thanks to all of you guys for your responses, BB sounds Great and cant wait to watch it!

Christian Bale's horrid, gravely Batman voice is really off-putting. That said, Batman: The Animated Series above all others. I loved Mark Hamill's Joker.

I believe his voice was amped up in post.
