Many words.... little meaning.

Not true at all the movie betrays itself and you know it.

Have you been talking to Khev secretly? Does he hate it?

The movie betrays itself because they re-shot the damn thing over and over and it feels very disjointed structurally in many ways. The tag-on ending doesn't help.

That argument is the same they try to pull with Raiders -- Indy accomplished nothing since the bad guys got the ark in the end and opened it.

But the fact is, Batman stopped the swarm of Riddlerees from killing everyone. So he did save Gotham. He also managed to keep his identity secret from Riddler -- although that can be argued. In the end, Riddler is in jail and Batman is not. Winner.

Khev is celebrating the ObiWan trailer

Lot of girls in that Obi-Wan trailer. I thought I'd see Obi-Wan in the Obi-Wan trailer.

Obi-Non

Obi-Wan was a Lucasian play on Old Man... but now he's seen as Old White Man so it makes sense to today call him Obi-Non.

I’m white

I’m 55

I went for my physical last week my doctor said my best days are behind me lol

 

[ironwez20]

Sheesh. Well anyway I’m sure the second one will be more…. Action packed lol

 

[DiFabio]

E

Pfft even DiFabio has admitted that anything post Riddler jail conversation is trash so LOL yeah lol

I don’t disagree with that article. I’ve pretty much said the same thing in regards to what happens after the interrogation scene with Riddler.

BUT that doesn’t suddenly negate the first two hours which were solid for me. The atmosphere this film creates is enough for me. It’s world feels stronger than the other Batman movies. I actually felt like I was in the story, if that makes sense.

There was plenty of action in my opinion.

I thought I was reading a darthkostis post for a second.

The general consensus is that it is too long, but had a very personal approach...until the final battle. The Batmobile sequence was Batman vs. Penguin. That was all that was needed. While I like to have a big end battle, it didn't feel personal. A bunch of Riddlers with rifles with the unmasking of some vengeance guy that had one line earlier in the movie did not hit home for me. This had the opposite effect with Cap Civil War where I felt like it needed the many Winter Soldiers battle. Maybe I was just too conditioned to expect that, but in this one it would have felt right without it.

The point was to turn bleak into hope, vengeance into justice. Except we got all the heroes gathering to help the hero, a final sacrifice then a symbolism of Moses parting the Red Sea. It threw off the balance the rest of the movie had and needed some type of Se7en ending, not a blockbuster ending. How cool would it be to see a big box with a Riddler question mark on it for the climax? Maybe some puzzle to save the mayor. That is all that was needed, to solve the final puzzle when the villain thought Batman was too dumb to solve it.

Yup…this

I was just being a dick saying the movie was ruined lol

 

[ironwez20]

The final didn’t ruin the movie for me. It was such a great movie I was invested in it. Yes it was just long but like Fabio said the atmosphere was just so great. I hope they add more flow or in the next one

 

[jinkazama]

Never leave home without it.......

 

[loki2371]

So sorry DiFabio, Wor-Gar, JAWS, ironwez, Matticus and whomever else loved The Batman (me) BUT it seems that Turd and Loki get the last laugh after all….

In conclusion….

Turd, Loki….take us out please…

Best review I've read so far. Thanks for that.

But I can't really comment until I watch it on the Max. Counting down those 45 days. But in the meantime, everytime I still see Batinson I still can't help but feel this....

 

[Wor-Gar]

Watch Loki become the ultimate convert and go "intothevoid" like TDKR, in just 45 days...
