It brought the city to life as a character.<br />I didn't care much for The Penguin here, honestly. Outside of my shock over the fact that it's apparently Colin Farrell... no fucking way. He looks way more like Richard Kind! But I found his character kind of annoying. I had a good laugh at that shot of him tied up and forced to waddle though (speaking of good laughs, the Bat Glider-fatsuit thing messing up the landing - I'm glad this was year 2 since we probably won't get this stuff in the sequels).<br />Catwoman was great. The Riddler too, I felt kinda sorry for him with Batman's abject rejection. Another parallel to TDK isn't it... a villain who sees a real connection with the hero. I wish there was some mingling there, but it's probably the Hannibal fan in me talking. It's one of the subtler things that make him a hero anyway. I've never seen him flirt with the bad guys.<br />Gordon was perfect, and while Alfred had a great actor they didn't really do anything with him yet. <br />And boy does the movie really not trust its audience lol. I'd love how deliberated the movie's pacing was if it actually required you to pay attention to anything besides how gorgeous all the shots look. But that's fine too.<br />"Vengeance bad" is such a stale boring character journey to go on and this film didn't do anything remotely interesting with it unfortunately. But I hope this means that since they got it out of the way early instead of in the 2nd installment of a trilogy like tradition dictates, Batman will have fresher personal developments for the sequels.

The set was too grim too dark and Batman was actually bland, and not well acted, although I'm not sure the actor was given a lot to work with. The woman who played Cat Woman was awful. Her costume made me laugh, in particular the face covering. If you could not see who she really was get glasses. I like the actor who played Alfred, but even Alfred was slow on the uptake. I will not post why, but it's obvious when you see it. Plus for Alfred to be a former military man it made no sense for------ to happen.<br /><br />I understand that this movie wasn't really made for a person like me. I would much rather they make a Batman based off of the animated series. An older more well seasoned likable Batman who does rough it up, but is still charming. Although to be real maybe no more Batman movies for the next 5-7 years. After all how many must they make? Same characters, same stakes same blah.Nonamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611477624834853472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-37108582774815669252022-03-09T07:38:36.174-05:002022-03-09T07:38:36.174-05:00One, it sounds like this film is going to work wel...One, it sounds like this film is going to work well for you.<br /><br />Topher, I've seen that criticism leveled at the film, and while I do see where you're coming from, I have to disagree. It was very subdued for a move this size all things considered. The end was also the culmination of Batman's character arc which kind of made the movie for me. His actions in those scenes define him going forward, illustrating his kindness and compassion instead of his brutality. Samantha M.

I left angry and wish I had walked out after a little over two hours when the main mystery appeared to have been solved. It would have been a mostly cohesive movie then.topher darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03975242320282969525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-59878193367656426982022-03-08T23:25:20.479-05:002022-03-08T23:25:20.479-05:00It's nice to see some Batmania again after bei...It's nice to see some Batmania again after being SEVERELY let down by TDKR. I refuse to believe this is gonna be better than TDK but I'm still hyped for whatever's in store. I never cared about the playboy side of Bruce's life so I have no problem with it being excised, though most of my friends hate that creative decision. In some things I just absolutely hate any and all instances of levity. Quipping belongs on Buffy and the MCU if you ask me. Oh and I love that one rainy/grainy red poster for it... can't wait to see it.<br /><br />>>"There isn’t really an after credits sequence"<br />GOODOnigirlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070327483035350298noreply@blogger.com
