Batman Begins is by far the better film.
This is my opinion, while the Dark Knight was a excellent film....I believe that a lot of the raving reception is because the film was so hyped: The fact that is was the 2nd Batman film to the highly successful reboot of the series, villains whom non-Batman fans know such as the Joker and Two Face were in it (making the film more friendly to the average person), the re-introduction of the Joker (put Joker in any movie and you got hype), after the quiet success of the first film people were able to get very very very excited for TDK as they couldn't for the first film, etc.
I love both films, I just think that Batman Begins is overshadowed by the TDK. It seems as if everyone has forgotten that BB was ever made and that TDK is the first of a new Batman franchise and it is the greatest movie ever. I personally am surprised at how low of votes BB is getting.
I enjoyed BB much more and BB was also a far better movie. The acting was better, the story was better, the cinematography was better, I preferred the character centric story. The film didn't have as many cuts and scenes, it was pieced together better; TDK had too much going on, it reminded me of Spiderman 3.....everything was better in BB.
Now please I love both movies, I may be seeming to talk TDK down and I am. BB deserves a lot more credit that it gets.
Basically I am saying this: if the TDK is a 10/10, then Batman Begins is a 15/10.
