Review of The Batman (2022) by Arrivist — 04 Mar 2022
It's good, not great. Certainly not a masterpiece. There's definite room for improvement in the sequel. I think the film would have benefited with being an R rating, the PG-13 watered the action down too much.
I was glad to get my money's worth with 3-hours run-time, but it felt too long overall and the film dragged in parts. All the actors were excellent, but the star was the unrecognisable Collin Farrell as the Penguin.
Bonus points for a great car chase and fight in a nightclub. Shame it was shot digitally. There was also a collective audible groan in the screening following the line 'white male privilege.
