I forgot it was even coming out today in the UK. Perhaps that shows how important A) poster campaigns still are and B ) how important people still commuting is for an effective poster campaign. -
I'm guessing the film will go out of its way to explore the problematic side of batman and then a bunch of people on twitter will write 'batman is problematic' like it was their idea to tens of thousands of RTs.
-
Ah. Well I would definitely take issue with the claim that Dunkirk doesn't have any characters, but as this isn't the Dunkirk review thread I'll leave it there. 🙂
-
I mean... whether it's good or bad it doesn't really sound anything like Dunkirk.
-
FilmCritHulk has somehow managed to write an entire essay on the trailer. TL;DR "I feel like it's not so much grim-dark as 'night horror.'" https://www.patreon.com/posts/40765819

Snyder’s batman was mean and it was indeed crap. Hopefully if this one is also mean it at least has some larger point to the meanness and it’s not just the projected nihilism of its director.
-
Lol, what does this even mean? Nolan’s direction is economic in most of his movies, often to a fault.
-
The director who made the last planet of the apes a concentration camp movie was probably never going to make a light batman film. And that’s fine. It’s not like the MCU is ever going to do this tone so WB might as we’ll plant its flag in that corner of the market.
-
I hope the movie goes all in on the “is he a hero or a psycho” theme this is clearly hinting at. I feel like that beatdown at the end isn’t meant to look cool, it’s meant to make you think the guy has a screw loose and maybe it’s kind of odd we’re cheering him on.
-
No-one was mad, buddy. They just called you out on a mistaken assumption. 🙂
-
Gotta say, all the 'I had no idea what was going on' blurbs make me rather excited. My favourite part of Inception was the first 15 minutes when I was totally lost. If WB wanted a repeat viewing film for the corona summer it sounds like they got it.

BBC News has a 4/5 review as a headline. Some nice marketing given it's one of the most visited sites in the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53862695
-
Kind of the reception I expected. A technical marvel but definitely an underlying air of "I'm over Nolan's shtick" from quite a few. Which is fair enough: for better or worse this does look like the most Nolan movie ever.
-
Nolan did say Aquaman was Tenet’s biggest influence.
-
I don't know what to tell you, but... I stand by it. There's never been anything like this before and no piece of art is reviewed in a vacuum. It's not like I think it'll turn what would have been raves into maulings, but american critics have historically been harsher on Nolan movies than their european counterparts and many on twitter have already said they're flummoxed by this release schedule. It'd be impossible for that not to seep in a little. Doesn't mean they're bad at their job: I agree with them!
-
It certainly feels like there's no middle-ground here: either this becomes a surprise sleeper smash that released at just the right time when the world was ready go back to movies... or it makes much, much less than it would have done just waiting a year. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when Nolan and WB were discussing the pros and cons of going for it.
-
Can we at least wait till the tomato-watch has officially started before going all in on the "wHo cARes aBoUT crItICs??!!"
-
Well my 70+ year old parents in the UK will be seeing this on opening day. Probably not the best gauge of hype as they used to go to the cinema about once a week and have been desperate to see something new, but it was a nice reminder of a Before Times conversation about movie-going. When they asked me what it was about all I could reply was "time inversion." "Oh," they said.
-
In America I can see this having some impact on reviews. It'll be hard to ignore, at any rate.
-
They're probably just pissed off he didn't praise their favorite superhero movie. He (rightly) laid into Jurassic World before opening as I recall and some on here had a go at him. Again, you may not end up agreeing with him but there's no reason to think he hasn't seen it.
-
This user always sees movies early (I think they're in the industry). Take it as legit. Whether you end up agreeing with them is another matter.
-
I like it. Comic-book retro. I guess that image of Batman is what we can expect Pattinson's to look like..?
-
So is Morpheus actually not coming back for this, or is Fishburne being coy? https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a33630696/the-matrix-4-laurence-fishburne-not-invited/
-
I haven't sensed any pent-up demand for cinema-going in the UK, even though almost no-one's been for months. If it's at all successful it'll be a true WOM endeavor - not just because of the film's quality but simply people telling others it's fine to go to the movies again.
-
Has it been confirmed how many venues (or even when) this is opening domestically?
