I just watched this movie for a second time, my first time is in the cinema. I just love Batman so much. So during my second watch, this is my take on this movie.
The Batman is directed by Matt Reeves, famously known for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. This movie is released in 2022.
The Batman is about Batman, who is in 2nd year becoming the masked vigilante in Gotham City, faced a The Riddler, a villain that used puzzles and tricks to murder every single corrupted authorities and reveal Gotham's true face.
Okay i will give my take on the plot based on 2 POV.
First- If u are a fan of action movie- you know, you love a movie where there's action non stop, like every other superhero movie, then you will feel this movie's pacinf veryyy slow.
Second- if you love movies that give you the "shit what happened next" kind of feelings, then you will love this movie.
The Batman is very different from other Batman movies- its more focused on Batman being a detective rather than a superhero. That alone is interesting for me. The pacing's fine. Not too draggy. Besides i love the riddles in this movie. Sooo out of the box.
Its absolute perfect. The tone, color grading is exactly what i imagine watching a Batman movie. Lets talk about Batman himself. In this movie, you will see the realest Batman ever. He got scared, he got injured, he's doing mistakes and stuff. Normal people will mock this Batman. But for Batman fans- this is absolutely comic accurate since this is only his second year being Batman.
The suit on the other hand, could be better. But there is one features of the suit that outshine all the other Batman suits that exists. That is the Bat symbol on his chest is actually a Batarang that can be pulled off and stuck again like a magnet? That shit is soo cool.
Personally, im not fan of armored Batsuit. Ben Affleck's Batsuit- thats gold.
Car chase scene- i love his Batmobile!!!!!!
The Penguin Interrogation scene- that is funny af!
Batman flees from the whole police department- shows you how grounded this Batman is.
Robert Pattinson held a heavy responsibilities for doing Batman's role. And surprisingly- he's very cool and perfectly casted! But we didnt get to see his playboy side though. I guess he's still mourning over his dead parents.
Standing ovation to Collin Farrell- actor for The Penguin. Those makeup and prosthetics make me hard to believe its him as The Penguin.
Yesss! The theme sound for The Batman is exactly the kind of theme song you want in Batman movies. When you hear it, it feels like something bad going to get you. Really love the theme song.
Overall, im really satisfied with this movie. Everything is perfect. And as a Batman fan, i deemed this is the best Batman movie. (The Dark Knight now falls to 2nd place.)
