The GOAT Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This movie honestly makes the Nolan Trilogy look campy in comparison. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudalb Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I loved it. Love that Batman as a detective took center stage. Some people at the showing I attended bitched about it being boring;guess they were expecting non stop action, which is not what the film is about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed it so much. I’m seeing a lot of people say the same online. I’d say around 5 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people at the showing I attended bitched about it being boring;guess they were expecting non stop action, which is not what the film is about. To be fair, the second and third trailers did use a lot of footage from the last half hour to try to make it look like an action packed film, so it’s not entirely surprising that some people would go in with those expectations. I was relieved that the fantastic first trailer ended up being much closer to the tone and pace of the final film. I loved this, the more I think about it, the more I liked it. The way Batman was introduced as a brutal force lurking in the shadows, utilising fear because he can’t be everywhere at once, was probably the strongest introduction to the character in film. Pattinson was excellent. Edited March 6, 2022 by SnokesLegs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWR Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Really enjoyed this one. Looks like it should be coming in at around $130M this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 A decent if not exactly spectacular opening. I'm looking forward to seeing the film and it sounds like Reeves achieved what he set out to do, but I maintain that the marketing was uncharacteristically bad for a Batman film. Apart from a nice moody teaser the trailers were weak sauce. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably referring to Spoiler the note about wanting to see more societal upheaval. That side of Joker was bigger but still felt somewhat underdeveloped too. We need to see and feel the city losing its mind in order to give have a sense that Batman is actually helping when he restores order. Trying to cram The Riddler and his games disrupting society, Gotham's deeply routed corruption with Maroni and politicos, Bruce discovering thins about his parents, Selina getting revenge, Batman being Sherlock etc was just too much and leads to the long periods of exposition and slow pace while also feeling underdeveloped. They actually did a good job of balancing everything given the extremely loaded plate but it was just too much regardless. Similar to TDKR, this movie may have been better divided into 2 parts. Part 1: Riddler role remains as is except heavier emphasis is placed on his "day judgement" end game Penguin is more prominent, catching the Penguin feels like the films main goal Better establish that Bruce feels compelled to carry the decency of his family name Better establish the terror Maroni drug cartel and the supposed impact of the drug bust Better establish Bella Real as meaning business Better establish Alfred's point that embracing anger isn't helping, its hurting End with twist that Bruce Wayne is identified as Riddler's next victim as Batman realizes Riddler's plan has a point: the big drug operation never ended, Bruce's family is directly involved and Penguin isn't the rat, rather a red herring. Part 2 Riddler's antics escalate and further breakdown society Batman and Gordon feel lost Falcone narrative takes over/Thomas Wayne background Impact of Bella Real's victory - maybe have Falcone plotting her murder as well, have Batman foil this? Batman and Gordon catch the Riddler and think they have foiled his "judgement day" plan until they're revealed to be too late Make the flood a bigger deal in general End with reinforcing Batman's understanding of who he is and what he needs to be Edited March 6, 2022 by excel1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belblazer Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This was absolutely fantastic. Best CBM since TDK. It's amazing when your expectations are exceeded. It deserves way more than doing well at box office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
