  • It's been a week, who's seen it? I'm curious to hear feedback from comic book readers instead of movie reviewers or "ordinary joe's." No spoilers please.

  • Thanks MacheteF7. I'm a little surprised no one else has chimed in.

  • Just got back from the movie and I thought it was great. It's definitely not your colorful campy Batman that's for sure. It's very dark and gritty, decent action/fight sequences, good story, the main bad guy is very well done I thought. Robert Pattinson did a good job I think, he certainly doesn't look/act like any Batman you've ever seen but I liked the portrayal. I don't get into the nitty gritty of breaking down movie psychology, character development/growth/attachment, etc. I just go by am I entertained or not and I was for sure. My only gripe would be the length lol, it was almost 3 hours. Not a deal breaker at all I just wish I would have gone for the small soda instead lol. I stuck it out as I didn't want to miss anything.

    Overall I highly recommend it, it's $10 well spent in my book.

  • I wanted to go see it, but my son went with my wife and her friend who's daughter wanted to see it. then he went to see it again to go with a friend.
    Meanwhile my other son has zero interest in going.... bummer. I'll probably wait until it streams.

  • It's odd that nobody else has shared their thoughts by now. Maybe I was the only one that liked it lol

  • Saw it with my grandkids. I enjoyed it, though a bit dark for Batman, plus switched around several stories such as Alfred, Wayne Mansion, origin, etc.

    Grandson, 13, enjoyed it. Granddaughter, 11, fell asleep. And yes the 3 hour length without an intermission meant backups in the bathrooms after...
    The joy is in the journey, not just the destination.

  • Watched on the weekend. Very dark (story line and visual) and very long 176 minutes. Not the Batman that I grew up on that's for sure, but then again they've all been darker as the Batman character has gotten darker over the years.

  • I was dead-set against watching it! I had no intention of watching it, because I can't get behind Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman. The other night, as I was flipping through channels, there was nothing good on any of my 'regular' channels, but..The Batman was just starting. I thought I'd watch until, I decided that I had had enough. I was pleasantly surprised. Other than Robert Pattinson, I actually thought it was really, really good. I liked how the main bad guy portrayed, and everything else was pretty good. I didn't even get fatigued at it having such a long running time. I would recommend watching it, and just ignore the RP scenes. Smile

    Yeah he's definitely not the best part of the movie although I don't necessarily dislike him. I'll say this, I think he played a pretty good Batman but his Bruce Wayne could use some work perhaps. He was a little to emo for my liking. Still, a great movie though.
