Review of The Batman (2022) by Thefijiluigi — 06 Mar 2022
Although it's overall a very good movie, even an INCREDIBLE one at what it does, I don't find it as amazing as everyone else. Bruce Wayne (not Batman), Penguin, and especially the Riddler felt out-of-character and away from what makes them so distinct as characters.
I get that this is a much darker take on the story, but at the end of the day they didn't go as far with that concept as they should have. We have none of the charm or the wit that makes Batman... BATMAN, and so at 3 hours this movie is a bit too intense to sit through without enough of that good old-fashioned humor.
Zoe Kravitz nailed it as Catwoman, and Robert Pattinson is still a very capable Batman with a LOT of potential to improve. I'm excited to see the next movie, even if I am rather critical of this film here.
Still incredible in terms of atmosphere, soundtrack, and very good acting. Worth seeing for every Batman fan.
