i think people are tired of batman >new batman movie! what happens in it? >dude is a weirdo loner that dresses up like a bat and broods and punches people
It pretends to be the most mature rendition yet of Batman, yet it remains no more complex than >man in bat suit stops crazy criminals and rescues Gotham >(also there's a throwaway line about white privilege, so you know the director is On Top Of the most current critiques of the Batman archetype)
>>220463331 fuck if i know, i aint watching twilight boy pretend to be cool, but if DC itself doesnt want him to be their batman, it must be fuckin dreadful, based on who they DID choose to be their superheroes. Fucking grim.
>>220463331 Just an imitation of The Dark Knight's vibe... but even more realism. BAT CREDIT CARD "never leave home without it" fucking mogs this in terms of originality and rich boy satire by the way
It's a poor imitation of Se7en and Zodiac. Imagine Matt Reeves pitching his Batman movie idea to Warner executives: >MR: Batman is a weirdo and every time he has a melancholic moment a Nirvana song plays. By the way, I'm going to imitate David Fincher by using a poor script which nobody would care about if it weren't for Batman. >Wb: Okay, let's do it.
>>220463331 Batman can only beat up so many villians before it gets played out and they have to move onto a new character to beat people up with. It's the cinematography way.
I mean nigga, who cares about some generic Godfather wannabe gangsters, we wanna see Batman punching the Joker or something, they should have tied this movie with the Phoenix one, instead of doing that whole rape thing.
4chan Riddler was also stupid and Paul Dano is weak-sauce.
>>220463331 The longer a movie goes over 2 hours, the more it insults the viewer by assuming their time is worthless. A 3 hour capeshit movie is calling its audience retarded over and over, it's fucking screaming it.
Nolan movies had plot and substance. This shit had none, I couldn't remember anything about it apart from the penguin and I don't remember what each character wanted. It's a complete mess and shouldn't have been created. Also stupidest bat costume.
>>220463331 It’s far too long and extremely derivative of previous Batman films and shows, and other things like Seven. Some good stuff in there but feels self important despite not really bringing anything new to the table
>>220463331 I bet people were laughing at this scene. I mean, assuming you weren't the only one in the theater, which very well could have been the case.
>>220463331 This was unintentional comedic kino however, as were many moments in the film. Paul Dano, Batman slowly approaching the Penguin but the scene taking way too long along with the hilariously bombastic score for his walk, etc. >>220463331 >>220468130 >Does this with the most comedic angle and aperture possible >parachute gets caught and tumbles and falls to the ground, timed and shot exactly like slapstick comedy >Music is the only indicator this isn't supposed to be hilarious Even emo MCR Batman was funny instead of dramatic. What was Matt thinking?
>>220463331 This is arguably the most creatively bankrupt Batman movies ever. On par with the Schumacher movies. Compare the ending speech in TDK and this and it's night and day in terms writing.
Whatever they were going for was rendered null and void when Colin showed up in that ridiculous makeup job.
Also, what the fuck was going on with Batman chasing the Penguin, who causes like 20 fiery crashes on a highway and then when Batman catches up with him he just lets him go?! Dude just caused likely 50 fatalities
>>220468745 It's unironically this. The writers weren't good enough to write a detective story. The movie had a lot going for it. The score, the aesthetics, the acting, the themes. But on the writing level, it failed.
Batman (I like to call him Fagman in this movie because Pattinson exudes effeminate gay energy) crashing into a pile of garbage in the gutter like a Looney Tunes cartoon is the perfect representation of this entire movie.
>>220463331 It was very boring and didn't bring out anything new. If they had him being a schizo and made it like Under Silver Lake it could have been cool.
>>220463331 It's a bit too similar to The Dark Knight 2008 in premise and structure, at least superficially. Dano Riddler does basically the same thing as Ledger Joker >murder people >leave clues and puzzles about who he's gonna murder next >murder again It's like for most intents and purposes, this version of Riddler is actually a Joker instead, they couldn't figure out how to do anything else with the main villain and they wanted to make you feel like it's another Nolanverse movie even though it isn't
it tries to pretend to be a real movie instead of a capeshit movie and the gulf between that approach and the essentially juvenile character of the source material just reinforces that this was all crap designed to appeal to the imaginations of 8-year-old boys back in the 1930s. you're not making the fucking godfather or zodiac dude.
>>220470064 She doesn't say "white privilege" She refers to "those white, [comma] privileged assholes." Saying there are assholes who are both white and privileged. Not referring to the social justice concept. You'll insist it's the same thing, but it's not.
>>220468763 It's more nuanced than that but the important point It's beautifully written. Compared to this >>220468828 >Scars heal bro >But I am talking about physical scars not emotional scars dude Yeah, sure lmao.
>>220470095 >you're not making the fucking godfather or zodiac dude. This was the biggest issue for me. It constantly kept reminding me of Zodiac and Se7en and all I am thinking is that how so much better those movies were. This had none of the thrills or suspense.
