kav Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Since Joker and Riddler are so popular DC missed opportunities for other great Batman villains like the comedian, the mime, the balloon twister and Mr Limerick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like the movie a lot tho. Bosco685 and kav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now. How he starts out noting Robert Pattinson is given nothing to do in this movie: NOTHING TO DO. That already sends warning signs he is not being fair to the film. No matter how much he disliked it (which is okay if this didn't work someone IF they at least came in wanting to try it out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when he calls out Matt Reeves not knowing the Batman character - I don't mind someone conveying this doesn't fit their image of the character. Matt Reeves has clearly conveyed he is fanatical over the Batman world. Including in long interviews quoting the material and specific stories that you can tell he is immersed in. At least be fair with a review versus implying the movie creator doesn't understand the character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewWorldOrder Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I haven't stopped thinking about The Batman (2022) since I saw it last night. This really is the first Batman movie where after the movie was over I was thinking about Batman instead of the villains. I felt like I was in the comic book pages nervous of what was going to happen next. I could feel the dark tone, the angst, and the vibe of what a real Batman post Neal Adams, Frank Miller, Jeph Loeb truly feels like to me as a kid in the late 80/90's. Growing up with the first Batman comics I ever read being Death in the Family, Killing Joke, Dark Knight, and the then current Jim Aparo art take on the character always had me thinking Batman was so close to cracking himself to the other side in which he was fighting against. I thought I was spoiled after the Nolan trilogy, but seriously its really only because of Health Ledger I am not saying The Batman (2022) is the best Batman movie I have ever seen! It's knocking on my top list as #2 trying to push me to put it #1! After seeing it for a second time I just might rate this movie 4.9 out of 5 instead of 4.5.

It happens. I used to watch Grace Randolph videos because I was convinced she understood movies. Then I realized later how much bias goes into her reviews. To include once she was pissed off at Jessica Chastain for correcting her on a movie reference anything that actress is in now Grace trashes. kav and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see lots of bias and not understanding how movies work in rotten potatoes reviews by expert reviewers. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
