The Batman


My review
Loved the dark and gritty style of the film and the fantastic cinematography. However I didn't find the plot that engaging, the stakes never felt high and the storyline didn't seem to flow very well. Especially towards the end, when the riddler recruited some kind of extremist paramilitary group, this felt out of place and forced and tonally different from the rest of the film. Also Robert Pattinson looked a bit young and skinny to fit the Batman role, and his character felt a little too 'awkward emo kid'. Soundtrack was also a bit samey and repetitive. The riddler was a reasonably interesting character, but was a bit too absent in the film and his motivations were never totally clear. From the other characters, Falcone, Penguin and Catwoman were great but Gordon and Alfred felt rather one dimensional.
