The Batman

This is my third time watching The Batman, but for every movie I rate and review I want to make sure I’ve recently watched it. This is the first time I’ve seen this movie in probably close to a year and I’ve always had it rated around a 9 or 10 out of 10. Watching it for a 3rd time was no different. I’d say this watch I was a little bit less locked in because I was distracted with text messages and stuff, but I could still feel how good this movie was. It’s hard to rate a movie as high when you’ve seen something so much and know what’s going to happen already, so it might have been a bit worse than normal but that’s ok. I think everything about this movie is fantastic. I like how Batman is portrayed as a detective, I wish we got to see more of his gadgets and vehicles, but at the same time this movie is kept very close to real life for a reason, so it makes sense why we don’t get all that. Overall the one thing that doesn’t make it a 10 for me is the sound/music choice. I think music is one of the most important things in a movie and it’s one of the things that gives me goosebumps when it’s done well. I feel like it’s hard to say because this movie is very dark and somewhat quiet and keeps to itself, but the music choices aren’t my favorite. I like it when the “Something in the way” song plays and plays loud, but other than that there wasn’t much to talk about. The movie plays the same songs over and over and it gets a little bit boring. This isn’t too big of a deal, but I do think it’s enough to keep it from a 10/10 for. Previously this was a 10/10 for me, but I want to be a bit harsher and make sure the absolute perfect movies standout from the very good movies, and this is a great example. The Batman is an extremely good movie, but not perfect, therefore 9/10
