Pretty badly too.

Practically speaking, the movie is just way too long and we'll put it nicely and just say it borrowed from other movies like Sev7n, Sev7n, The Crow, That other David Fincher movie, Sev7n and The Blues Brothers.

And what was the point really of putting Colin Ferrell in all that make up and shite? Why not just hire an actor who was fat and old? That was a pointless Dick Tracy move right there.

Anyway, to all of you who bitched about it being woke. It's woke. It wasn't as woke as it could've been but when pretty much all the good guys are black and the white guys are bad or crazy. It's fairly frickin' woke.

And why insert the words white privilege? That's a rhetorical question, I know why. But really though, why? What does that bring to the table?

Look, I can ignore alot of this social shite in movies but it's got to be a good movie. If it's a good movie or show, I won't even notice much of it unless it's pointed out to me. If it's a bad movie though, flaws like that just shine through.

The movie was paced poorly, low on action, low on script development, the cinematography was bad, the movie was lit very poorly. Constant rain is a lazy substitute for good scene production. The movie was just dull.

I will say this though. It was well acted or about as well acted as it could be. Robert Pattison, Colin Ferrell and John Turturro did a good job. Especially John Turturro, he seemed to get the best out of a uninspired script.

Oh and another thing. This movie is a Walmart parking lot shite diaper compared to the Christian Bale movies.

I agree about the Colin Farrell and white privilege points. But I still think it’s a damn good Batman

I appreciated that most of his shite was at least practical.

Rewatch batman and robin in theaters. The batman looks like citizen kane compared..had no one been spoiled with batman begins and the dark knight.

I thought it was just ok. Was really dissapointed with the riddler. I thought Dano was going to do much better. Penguin was the best part

I watched it yesterday. It was okay, nothing special. It was about one hour too long. Very poor pacing.

And that's a bad thing? I didn't mind when a sci-fi movie like Edge of Tomorrow borrowed from the comedy Groundhog Day. In the comics, Batman is a great detective and this movie finally focused on that Sherlockian skill. I like that a superhero movie was reminiscent of a great serial killer/detective thriller like Sev7n. I do have issues with the movie, but borrowing from Sev7n is not one of them.

My biggest complaint was the incessant whispering by nearly every character. And also it went a little too long and Pattinson's billionaire Bruce Wayne was written too moody/angsty/goth.

But otherwise, Pattinson's Batman might be my favorite Batman.

I didn’t care for it. It was boring. Didn’t like any of the characters. The Catwoman was especially awful. Don’t know why everyone is lauding Pattinson. Seemed like the same moody sparkly vampire guy to me. He was decent in that movie about the Amazon though.
The one thing I did like was the cars. The Batmobile was awesome.

I loved the movie. But to your point about borrowing. I thought they borrowed the intro and voice over from Dredd.

I tried to warn ya'll repeatedly well before this movie was out

Who didn’t see that coming? Hmmm

It’s basically going to be a ripoff of 7even with a “copy/replace/paste” of Batman character names


And also Seven copy paste replace

It's the new trend in DC movies

Steal/Borrow from other great scripts and slap superhero names to them

It didn't suck but it was WAY too long. They could have fairly easily cut out 45 minutes and not have lost anything.

The setting was cool and I loved seeing a darker detective batman but not enough happened in the movie to warrant its runtime. Also the Riddlers master plan in the finale of inconveniencing 1 city block was pretty bad

I saw it a couple weeks ago and didn't really get all the hype either. It wasn't a bad movie, but not good either.

What a dumb reason to hate on a movie. Maybe they wanted a good actor for the role instead of just using some random actor just because he's actually fat and old.

Aww they said white privilege, did it hurt your poor little baby feelings? I'm sorry, I don't know how you'll make it from here on out.

It was good but a tad over hyped. It’s not in the same ballpark of TDK that people tried to putting it at or over. Also the Riddler is a boring arse character/ villain imo
