Worst Batman movie ever
kino cinematography and performances from pat and the talk show kiss guy as penguin with a dogshit script.
Basically this
It's a vibe. Basically it's kino until the last act (you'll know exactly what I'm talking about).
Batman looks a bit goofy at times. But as a whole it just looks and sounds amazing.
Its biggest flaw was its reluctance to have Batman be overly violent. He's supposed to be raw and unhinged but he spends the entire film talking about how killing wrong
Good movie, makes Hack Snyder gays seethe
Reeveshills on suicide watch.
Dunno. RLM never reviewed it so I never watched it.
It would've made a descent detective kino if they just removed all the capeshit and made it more like se7en or something.
One of the biggest problems for me is that its a detective movie with no real mystery because as the audience you know who the killer is the entire time.
Se7en already exists and it sucks
It should have cut out out all the muh mystery bullcrap and just been Year One
That's not fair either: sure, we know that Edward Nigma is the one doing the killing, but why? And who, for that matter?
AVE MARIAAAAAAAA
Worst batman movie, worst batman, that dude can't
A good nap
Liked the start and it fell apart at the end.
3 painful, boring hours of an extremely bad script
you're expected to believe Jim Gordon made it all the way lieutenant detective on the GCPD with the deduction skills of a 5 year old potato kid
Two thirds of a passable Batman film. It’s about an hour longer than it needed to be.
Imo it had incredible pacing/tone for the first ~20 minutes or so but they legit ruin the movie when they introduce cat Women and it goes downhill FAST afterword's. The character was cum-bait for lonely nerdy males in the comic books and they try to stretch her into a deep and interesting character that she simply is not. I don't mind her being in the movie per se but she did not need such a prevalent role and her scenes destroy the pacing. There are so many more interesting female villain's in the Batman universe they could have explored but they shoehorned her in and it felt really fake and forced.
It also doesn't help they turned the Riddler into a legit alt-right incel. The Riddler is a literary genius who uses his intellect to creates games of whimsical violence and chaos and I felt like they made him too 'modern' and realistic, just like what Nolan did with the Joker, which is a general complaint I have with all comic book movies today. What ever happened to them creating new worlds for me to escape to and being true to the characters? Now they shoot everything on-site and there is minimal production design and world creation these days, they alter characters to suit modern conceit and ethos, so much so that they barely resemble themselves in the end. Besides the 'Riddles', Dano's character was NOT the Riddler. Say what you want about the Tim Burton Batmans but at least he created worlds we could travel to and escape in. These modern super hero movies are too realistic by comparison and too 'here and now', and generally try too hard to make false philosophic political statements.
I do still think it's worth the watch because it does have it's moments. Ferrell's Penguin is a great example of proper portrayal and interpretation of a character: He is still 'the Penguin' as he was originally conceived but he makes it unique, personal, and his own. He's probably my highlight of the movie.

looks like you were filtered by what i thought was pretty straightforward writing. catwoman is there to challenge bruce and force him to see things from a different perspective (literally through her eyes). i could go into more detail on why you are wrong and clearly didn't pay attention to the film, but i wouldn't expect much from someone who cares more about style over substance
It's been a while since I saw it, but I didn't get that impression. I thought it was really confused writing and bogged down the energy and pacing of the opening sequences, which were really fantastic. Bruce was in an orphan too who saw his parents murdered, so I fail to understand what realities she opens his eyes to. He even mocks her at the end for only being in it for herself and the money. If you got something out of the character great, but I didn't and felt her inclusion lengthened the movie unnecessarily (a common complaint with most people, of which her character was most guilty) and her use in advancing the plot could have been done without her. We don't have to agree that it was good writing.
that's okay. nolanshit tier "what if batman was actually just a blunt neocon metaphor for the US government after 9/11" is probably more your speed
If you actually read what I posted here
you'd realize that is not "more my speed" and in fact I hated the Nolan Batman's.
You can't blame Nolan for not ruining his Hollywood career before it even began by making a comic accurate Batman anon. Give the guy a break.
You must have felt so cool being the only person to walk out of TDK angry while everyone else had a blast
Reeves copers are now pretending their woke, laughable garbage is better than Nolan's movies, one of which is the most acclaimed superhero movie of all time. Enjoy your gay emo Batman with Black folk shoved up the ass.
i prefer character studies over some upperclass british guy trying to work through political/philosophical ideas without really caring about character/dialogue/emotion, but that's just me
LMFAO. The writing in this movie was worse than amateur. Fanfiction is less on the nose than this shit.
>it's bad because... it just is OKAY!
high quality discussion
>It's good because I called it a le character study
You started it.
cringe dialogue, convenient writing, repetitive soundtrack, rushed rewrite ending, melodramatic tone, moronic characters. there are plenty of reasons
And I actually gave an example of the awful writing in this movie. It's hilariously bad. "Even with the rain." Who talks like that? And "The city is under the water." These sound like a 5 year old wrote them.
>The city is scared.. just like me
The writing is hilarious, but it's a fun movie. Good cinematography. The whole al rata alada thing was fricking stupid, especially since this batman is supposed to be a "master detective".
>Who talks like that?
I can tell you haven't seen a Joe Biden speech.
One of the basic requirements for character studies is nuanced and multifaceted characters. I didn't see any in The Batman but hey, maybe that's just me.
>i prefer
I prefer Lycoris Recoil
garbage and bullshit
A tonally confused movie with some cool scenes interspersed throughout to distract you from the fact that the plot is pretty half assed.
It was genuinly bad.
Wanted to be neo noir Se7en kind of movie but ended up being boring nonsense.
Literal shit
It's Se7en but with Batman for like 80% of the movie.
except the Black person was stupid in batman
Gordon at least bailed him out that one time. But yeah, he wasn't much of a detective.
I unironically liked it. Except for the ending and that line.
It's best watched at night OP. It's a great cure for insomnia.
boredom
i hope you have a good subwoofer
It's a bit of a snoozefest. It would have been much better if they trimmed it down at least 45 minutes.
A half decent Batman film that spends way too much time on inferior-Halle Berry Catwoman clone.
Good movie but too long, they should have saved the last 30 min for the next movie. More of a noir than a batman movie
The first two acts were solid, right until Riddler was caught. Everything after the titledrop was extremely disappointing. The third act fight sequence was unnecessary and obviously added during reshoots.
To me, the final action scene felt like they made a detective thriller movie but knew that ultimately they were still capeshit and people would feel dissatisfied if the ending wasn't a big action set piece, even though it was out of place.
A bloated and ultimately disappointing film. Stylistically it’s great, but that’s where the talent ends
Absolutely frickhorrible pacing and a Netflix show tier budget
Shit movie. Good performances, cinematography and stunt work.
I feel like there's a good movie hidden under all that shit script bloat. Except for Riddler. That character kind of ruins the movie. I like Dano and he does what he can with the material, but the take on the character is shit and cringe.
The B-plot about Carmine and the Penguin was better.
