I agree it was overlong.
The movie is gorgeous and the action/performances are great, but holy christ did it drag on. I felt bored in a way I never did during the nolan batman films.

This movie was just a different style of Batman that we really haven’t seen before.

Did you have a stroke while writing this, lmao.

Detective movies can be abit faster man. But i understand why some people may like it

The first hour bored you to the verge of tears, so you watched another hour. Did you need a good cry or something? Like how long does it take to figure out a movie isn't for you?
darthgong OP t1_iuabpjt wrote
Yeah but Like why is there no back story to how batman can fight or how catwoman learned to fight?
BlockofIce34589 t1_iuabqc2 wrote
Yeah, I agree with this. I thought the pacing was just right compared to the film's runtime (which, tbf, was a little overkill). But I saw the movie twice in the theaters when it was out and I loved it both times. I've probably seen it fifty more times since then, lmao.
darthgong OP t1_iuabw2j wrote
And also why was there no story to how batman learned to fight how catwoman learned to fight... It should have flashbacks with his parents to make us more emotional about his parents death
bao276 t1_iuabzcf wrote
cause we dont need a backstory
darthgong OP t1_iuac1pu wrote
I kept thinking it will get better like everybody says it is... but turns out the movie is the definition of overhyped
darthgong OP t1_iuach6o wrote
So we also dont need a back story to how powerful rey is in star wars...

I trust my own eyes and ears over word of mouth. If I'm not enjoying it after half an hour, I'm out.

Fair criticism tbh. Didn't bother me personally.
Mnemosense t1_iuacoio wrote
Yep, didn't like anything about it. Pacing was bad, the plot pretty boring, and the Riddler performance laughable.
Also, the whole point of Batman as a force against crime, is that he has tools and methods unavailable to the police, but in this he's just a dude who turned his back on his wealth, drives a muscle car, and strolls into crime scenes like a consultant.
I prefer Batman visiting crime scenes before or after the cops get there.
Tonally the movie veered too much into grounded territory, whereas Nolan's movies struck the right balance between grounded and batshit comic shenanigans.
BuddhistSlater t1_iuact85 wrote
Wait, I thought you were saying this ironically at first. Because the fact that we see Batman's origin story in every movie has become a meme at this point, actually wanting to see more of that is a pretty unpopular take I think.

That's fair, too. Like, I'm not a huge fan of the Fast & Furious movies, but I can understand why action movie fanatics enjoy them.
darthgong OP t1_iuadjse wrote
We saw the back story of Nolans batman. Not of this batman this batman is diferent like how is he building the suits and stuff whould be realy interesting
BlockofIce34589 t1_iuadt6z wrote
If anything, I like the way the movie tackles Bruce's parents' death. Not how they die, but why they die, with the Riddler, Falcone, and Alfred all having their own version of why they died, but the origin stays the same. I like that they went about it that way. That's just me, idk.
anunfriendlytoaster t1_iuadupf wrote
No because Rey’s story isn’t established in 4 other versions
darthgong OP t1_iuae6f9 wrote
But batmans either Thats a diferent batman not nolans. They could be creative with his families death. Like in every batman series they are creative with how they bring it up but here they were lazy

Interestingly I thought the first half was great. For me the second half was a huge disappointment.

Hmmm… I don’t Think it’s lazy. Did it bother you that Spider Man homecoming had no back story?

I thought Batman could have had a more active role in it. It’s a lot of scenes of him going around listening to people.

The movies intention is to make u sleep.
Like seriously no way you are a real human probably u are an ai... I literaly could predict the next move of the riddler lmao

No cause it was actualy interesting like there was a shock moment every 28 minutes it feels like. In batman u whould expect a 3 hour movie to have atleast back story thats what disapointed me the most 3 hours is too long around a plot. At one point its predictable
darthgong OP t1_iuafued wrote
Or better said homeming introduced the characters better in my opinion
darthgong OP t1_iuaguwx wrote
Interesting. I realy dont understand how to make a movie that everybody likes. I like for example dr strange mom and spiderman 3 while most people hate on them...but i like also infinity war and the original batman movies were goated
BlockofIce34589 t1_iuagwyd wrote
I do agree that the first half was the stronger section of the film, but also I liked the climax where it's revealed that the Riddler has this secret internet army willing to do his bidding. It was really interesting to me when I first saw it.
darthgong OP t1_iuahh5x wrote
Thats the way to go cause i also realy like some movies that aparently have bad Reviews.

The answer is because Batman has existed for 80 years and there’s no narrative value in retreading Batman’s origins, especially when you’re not telling a Batman origin story.
This is Batman in his second year as a vigilante.
Also, the movie does enough explaining in the world building it does. When we see the Batcave and listen to the dialog, it’s clear that Bruce Wayne is highly devoted to his mission, trains relentlessly, and has been out fighting for well over 18 months. If you do anything every single night for nearly 2 years, you’ll get good at it.
BTAS also never gave an origin story and it’s the best Batman series of all time. The Arkham Asylum games, too. Even Origins kicks off at his second or third year.
darthgong OP t1_iuakb0v wrote
Nolans batman was the best. Its just lazzy not taking time in a 3 hour movie to explain. In the arkham games u dont care cause u actualy wanna play the game. And spiderman also existed so long and they still showed us how he became spiderman in tasm. I just dont like batman being a merry sue. Like even in arrow or flash the only dc movies i watched have got better character introduction. Where is the character introduction in batman just a guy in a suit in a cave working with a cop we literaly know nothing else.if its a realistic batman movie how does catwoman know how to fight why dont they show us how she learns.
darthgong OP t1_iuakppa wrote
Agree.
The main think with this movie is the bad character introduction and lack of emotion we feel on them. In nolans movies i loved every character. They all felt special. In the batman u could swap alfred with batman and the tone whould stay the same

Boring is one way to put it. I thought the pace was slow but I was never bored. The pacing is really what made me like it so much. I didn't want a Batman action movie. I wanted a Batman detective thriller.
