The Batman (2022)
8/10
Very suprised, a Batman movie that doesn't feel over the top.
8 March 2022
I was taken back by this movie a bit, I would not consider myself to be a huge fan of anything DC or Marvel for that matter. I've seen most of these movies, typcally only once.

Several things about this movie impressed me, for instance, it felt more believable than most movies in the genre. I didn't feel Batman's gadgets, cars and other were over the top. Furthermore, really nothing had that over the top feeling, Catwoman was played brilliantly, again, her persona seem real and down to earth. Same with the Riddler, brillaintly played.

Like other Batman movies, it had that element of darkness, however, I really felt this version took it to another level, which reminded me of "The Joker" movie. The darkness felt authentic, and even creepy at times.

The movie may not be the most action packed, but this rendition really didn't need to be. Kudos for taking a risk, and doing something a bit different. I also like that it wasn't about trying to jam as many mega movie stars into the movie, this is not necessary, as with other movies in this genre, you sometimes feel like they are trying to out do each other.

Great soundtrack as well.

I definately will see this movie again, which is saying something.
