Review of The Batman (2022) by Smoke43 — 04 Mar 2022

An exciting and hyped movie with a different take, something new, something we are not accustomed to seeing.

The movie is good, has incredible fight scenes, cinematography that could win an Oscar, a pornographic soundtrack.

Robert Pattinson is THE BATMAN, absolutely my favorite performance nailed it, Colin Farrel and Jeffrey Wright were top-notch. The chemistry between Batman and Gordon was incredible. Paul Dano was very good, but nothing tops our boy, Heath.

The murder mystery noir was the right choice, absolutely loved it.

I loved the narration and it's something I am very curious to see in future chapters.

This movie kept me engaged the whole time.

Although with everything said, no, it isn't perfect.

Even though it has 3 hours, matt was able to leave some gaps and wholes in some events. For example, batman gets hit or is damaged and needs to recover, and in the next scene he is completely fine and it's like nothing happened. The relationship with Selina happens from thin air, it was very direct and without any emotion, practically rushed.

Even the cinematography was amazing, the movie itself is poor on lighting so there were scenes where you couldn't see anything, now I think there are two things to blame here, first, the projector at the cinema that I watched is known for having low brightness and I felt that in many other movies, second, the movie itself is dark, it occurs mainly at night and that's fine but at least give us the pleasure to enjoy every scene with enough lighting.

For now, a 3.5/5, after a rewatch it might not change, but I may become more assertive in some areas.

I hope Matt and everyone listen to the negative sides and try to learn from their mistakes that might have put the movie at risk.
