There's the willing suspension of disbelief and then there's the willing acceptance of dumb. You watched 20 minutes of a 3 hour film.. I’m not saying its the best thing ever but I’ll respect your opinion on movies you’ve watched. It’s kind of like how I couldn’t get through 30 minutes of The Eternals. I just couldn’t. So I can’t say whether its a good film or not despite not liking what I’ve seen so far. Joshua33, Sauce Dog and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgross.com Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 this movie is so well done, absolutely beautifully shot and designed, dramatically lit, the visuals are stunning in every way. the actress who plays the cat is breathtaking too. it was entertaining to me. yet overall it made me feel that i have just had enough batman. i feel like the first two nolan films really did it for me. i dont need any more of this kind of batman (or joker, g*d help us when the sequel to this comes out). i think they've done the whole 'city is devouring itself with corruption' theme way more than enough times now. we get it. batman feels like a really one-note character/ story to me. i wish they'd stop making batman films. but of course he's one of their most popular characters, so that'll never happen. maybe a batman comedy then a la shazam? thunsicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnenock Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I liked the movie, especially the Riddler after he was "unmasked". I felt Catwoman was well done, also. My wife asked me why they always make Batman so dark and tortured. I tried to explain that his parents death shapes every aspect of his life, blah, blah, blah. But....have to agree with her. Getting tired of the "origin" story always looming in the background. I know we aren't going to get a Mary Poppins Batman but maybe we should try a movie where he is the world's greatest detective?

Roger66 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The Batman like Dune reminded me of a beautiful looking sumptuous pastry behind thick glass . However, once I bit into it - it was all empty calories if not fat-free. Yes the movie was visually stunning, the actors very well cast and their acting high-caliber. Yet the slow plodding narrative and plot was thin on intrigue and lacking in gravitas. I found myself bored at several points and this Batman felt like it was another very paler reiteration of Nolan's Batman. In the end I did not walk away from this movie with any sense of indulgence, new insights or inspiration but simply the sense that I wasted 3 hours of my time. alexgross.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D84 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I'm buying it on disc so I can make a gif of Batman smacking into the bridge. It was almost as good as this. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kav Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 I'm pro Batman. He has never been done right in any movie. If they ever did a good realistic Batman movie people's minds would be blown. There would be no dumb scenes of his surviving electrocution, falling a fatal distance, or thugs shooting at his body armor when his exposed face is right there. He would be a detective like hannibal lecter. Cunning, smart. He wouldnt be injecting himself with go-go juice that was just injected into the plot like the juice. You'd be blown away folks.

kav Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 If captured he would escape in a cunning manner like lecter, not some cliched obvious manner that mostly relies on the dumbness of his captors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they didn't always make him dark and tortured...anyone remember Adam West? Reading the reviews I'm kind of glad I was waiting to watch it on TV...3 hours without a break is torture even in a riveting movie...this way I can turn off the sound if it gets annoying;) but I WILL watch it... @kav and give it a chance.

kav Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 The movie was chock full of this type of garbage-how much do you have to absorb before you turn it off? For me it ws 20 minutes. You dont have to watch an entire movie to determine it is a real dud. I tried watching chick fight-20 minutes later I turned it off. You do not have to watch an entire movie to say wow this movie sucks. try watchin chick fight and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
