Review of The Batman (2022) by Taylor2057 — 08 Mar 2022

I didn't really want to go see it, my wife did and it was only because of twilight and I/we called it twilight batman. I seen the trailer and made my call, but she wanted to see it and hooked the kids, I paid over 90 dollars to sit there with one kid a sleep, my wife leaving with the young one a hundred times, and I wouldn't put it past her that she took the little one into another movie for kids, because it wasn't what she hoped for.

It was hyped because of the cast and nothing more, and it is seen here in the 10's. Praising it for its plot and great acting, and out of it all it was Kravitz that made what a slog it was and the jumbled mess of scenes running together so fast but not showing the timeframe it took place in.

My old lady for what little she did watch called it a bad seven reboot, I can't say she is far off. The few high points were the trailer scenes at the beginning, about middle and the close end. It could've been an hr if that of run time and still told the story, but everything was drawn out and over acted or not acted at all in alot of the film, out of having the most bad guys in a super hero movie wasn't any of them a threat of had you going I hope its going to be ok, because you knew even when someone was going to die ahead of time.

The music was pretty decent for the dark gritty take, the way it was shot was almost Tim Burton in a way with a modern city. It kept spinning wheels but no one character got much screen time for the thing being 3 hrs and that was the saddest of it all really, coming from Reeves who isn't the best director, but isn't bad either, and thats where this 200 plus million movie falls into, its not bad but its not good either, and I do feel ripped off and cheated because of the hype and higher price tag the tickets were.

And to add at all the fan boys of pattison, even though Nolan isn't the director the Reeves is all his Batman movies made every scene count and that's why I'm saying this doesn't hold a candle to his version because he hit it on all accounts, even though he let Hardy make a mocking of Bane in some ways.
