I can hardly sit through this. Calling it a slow burn would be a stretch.

Doesn't get close to Nolan's trilogy IMO. Not enjoying it tbh

Exact opposite reaction. This was the Batman movie I have been waiting to see. The plot/story, music, cinematography, the portrayal of each character …. Loved the movie. Not sure if I like it better than Dark Knight as a movie, but I thought it was a better Batman movie than dark knight.

I didn't like it. I tried to like it, I wanted to like it, I looked for things I liked it it, but overall….. Just didn't like it. Me no likey.

It was much better than the campy Batman movies (eg Batman and Robin) but was nearly as good as the Nolan trilogy. The only aspect I felt the new one was better at was the emphasis on Batman being a detective

I really liked it. My only problem was the length of the movie. I know how it was written and everything, but I thought the Riddler story and the corruption story could be 2 distinctive and different movies. Somebody will come along and remind me how woven together they are and that's true but they didn't have to be.

You verbalized why it didn't work for me. The super noir type movie this was… not for me

Why this kind of reaction, dude?
The board is meant for discussion. Completely fair to open a controversial take on an otherwise well received movie

This feels real condescending and judgmental. Whatever though

Well it doesn't help that your felt your own opinion was worthy of its own thread.

I think this is one of those non spectacle that is better in a theatre. You are trapped in the dark with this movie. You can't check your phone, you can't go get a snack, your wife and kids can't barge in and bug you. It's just you and a bunch of strangers being engrossed in the plotting and visuals of the movie

I thought the movie sucked. Can't believe I watched the entire thing.

Get off the high horse. I went back 5 pages trying to find it and couldn't. So many here assume ill intent automatically.

I would tend to agree with the OP.

It was just so bleak. I also couldn't take Bruce Wayne cosplaying as the crow seriously.

I LOVED the use of "Something in the Way" as a leitmotif.

Batman Returns is not only my favorite Batman movie, but my favorite superhero movie overall.

There's *at least* three threads on this movie already. Just Google "texags 'the batman.'" They're so easy to find that it always comes across as weird/showy when people do this, ill-intent or not. It was that, combined with the fact that this is one of the most universally loved/respected blockbusters of the past decade, emphatically so. So it just felt doubly "look at me" to sh*t on it in this way, especially when you didn't add much to the conversation. On a person note, it also rubs me the wrong way when people knock something *this* well made for being "slow." First of all, slow isn't always bad - even though I didn't find this movie slow at all. Secondly, a lot of the time, when people get mad at something like this for being "slow," what they often really mean is that they instead wanted something less thoughtful, with more Michael Bay 'splosions or whatever. And I'll take thoughtful or mindlessness all day long. So, all of that combined = my reaction. Apologies if it offended you, but it was mainly just a joke more than anything.

I get that, appreciate the thoughtful response

I've never thought of googling the thread titles, almost too easy to miss that. That's on me and I know now

You sound like a communist.

It was utter trash. Agreed with OP.
