seen some reviews for this are all in the middle which means it's probably bad.

i had a feeling something was off about the trailers. the riddler's lines weren't good. they would have used the good lines if they had them.

might still go see it in the cinema. i'm expecting a mess despite pattinson, but that's always a good mood to be in on the way in to something.

i'm going to see this in an hour. without spoiling, what's a good cue for me to go and take a piss? because i will need to at some point.

somewhere around the middle, like a big action scene i can lose two minutes of and not miss much.

it was good.

pano dano's performance and overall role was kinda whatever, but the trailers didn't excite me anyway. his actual motivation was good though, totally made sense and progressed batman's character arc. his final act of flooding the city and planning to kill hundreds, maybe thousands of random civilians didn't make sense but they needed something HUGE i guess.

i think people are bothered that there's not much bruce wayne in this movie but that's one of it's strengths. bruce wayne's non-batman life isn't interesting.

selina/cat was one of the best parts of the movie and i like that they made it a love story between her and batman.

i was never fully loving it but i liked it pretty much all the way through. people saying the third act is unnecessary are just wrong. if you're gonna cut something out of this to make it shorter, you can cut some of the detective stuff on what riddler's up to because none of it is that clever apart from the first one. el rata whatever was actually kind of stupid, now that i think about it.

but mostly the slow pace and (for a comic movie) sparse action was good. this is about the right level of realistic reimagining for batman world, i think. joker was just boring until the last 20 minutes.

your idea for a last riddler move is better than what's there, yeah. could still build in some action climax to something like that and not have it undercut his motivation for everything else he does. like i said, what they did was not the best idea for the ending but i mean, you can't just end the story before all that stuff happens because it clearly isn't finished.
