The message of Batkid Begins is, to me, Cynics of the world? You lost.

I'm still not sure if it warranted a full length documentary, but [it] is a fine ode to Batman and the human condition.

The deeper we go into Dana Nachman's unquestioning, feature-length cheerleading film, the more uncomfortable I felt about the reaction of one person to that magical and overwhelming day. Miles.

Cynics can carp. Let them. But don't be one of them.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 23, 2015
It's refreshing to see a film that's completely lacking in cynicism.

Unfortunately Batkid Begins is so rigidly upbeat that it begins to seem like one of those really cheesy Hallmark movies on 온라인카지노추천.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 16, 2015
Nachman, for her part, diligently tries not to lose sight of the child at the center of it all.

If you have the opportunity to see Batkid, I encourage you to buy a ticket. It won't change our world. But it could change us. Then we can improve the world. Batman would like that.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 16, 2015
"Begins" journeys into the heart of charity and community support, clearing away the ugliness of the world for 80 minutes to bask in the glow of what was intended to be a block-wide event that eventually snowballed into a global phenomenon.
| Original Score: B | Jul 15, 2015
Get ready to have your spirits lifted by Batkid Begins, the most heartwarming film you're going to see this year.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 13, 2015
There's a wealth of material to draw on, almost as if a documentary-to-be-named later was already on someone's mind. In any case, Nachman puts it all to good use, relaying the conception, planning, preparation and execution of the day.
| Original Score: B+ | Jul 12, 2015
This is the kind stuff that you cannot make up.
| Original Score: B | Jul 11, 2015
Though it's easy to contrast "Batkid Begins" with "Dear Zachary" - tears of heartache replaced with tears of joy - both are about coming out of tragedy with a positive outlook for the future & rewarding the often thankless task of being a great parent.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 10, 2015
If watching "Batkid Begins" doesn't move you, I seriously don't know what will. And who doesn't love a five-year-old superhero?

For one day, at least, the optimists among us could revel in the good-heartedness of people the world over.

As a record of the event it's amiable enough, but also a bit ragged and more than a little self-satisfied.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 9, 2015
