Glad I'm not the only one that feels the same.
When I first watched it I was struggling to stay awake because I was so tired so I thought that affected my enjoyment of it, but actually the second time watching it at the cinema then with my girlfriend I realised the first feelings I had were right. I really wanted to absolutely love it, but it was just good.
Nothing wrong with that, I thought the tone and setting and Pattinson as Batman were great. It was just too long and meandering - I love meandering and don't mind long, but it just felt like it was grinding on just to be that long. I think Reeves built into his own plot too much, there was no reason for it to be so long.
It also didn't really have any contrast, it was pretty much the same level throughout. Even the car chase scene when it picks up was janky. He revs the engine then waits until Penguin can get in the car to have a chase, like he wants to have a chase. And maybe I thought I understood that scene wrong, but every time watching it it's clunky and feels strange and ruins what should be a break from the monotone.
But it's in a very good place for the second to be phenomenal.
It almost feels like Batman Begins in a weird way.
