The Batman

I'm just gonna leave this here as my first impression review... I'll probably rewrite this tomorrow, but here I go... I'm sorry for ever doubting you Robert Pattinson... You definitely proved everyone wrong... This is the ultimate Batman portrayal... Story vise this film is basically flawless... Every story beat just flows into the next one so naturally that is basically unprecedented with anything at this scope. Every moment is given time to shine, almost nothing is rushed, but it's never too slow. 3 hours go by in a heartbeat if a film is this fluid. The Riddler is fenomenal. It poses and incredible looming threat all through the movie. It never does anything over the top but he is not timid either. He rides the this line masterfully where even if you get caught up in the "action" and seemingly forget about him for a sec, you deep down know....It's all going as planned for him. Yet it never becomes impossible. All his challenges seem just right to make sense in the story and contribute to a detective story. I did put action in quotes in purpose. This film is nothing like previous Batman films. We don't go from action scene to spectacle. We go from dialogue to detective work. Sure there are impressive action parts, but they are not the focus at all. Fincher would be proud. I saw a lot of inspiration from him in this. And I mean that as a great complement as he is my favourite director. And his story telling style fit this movie like a glove. This all makes for a practically perfect movie. At times I may have noticed some "issues" but it the grand scene of things, I genuinely don't care. Post credit scene vise... I believe a game is afoot... I'm curious to see what's next... And I do believe there will be a next... Even if my fellow nerds at 0:00am at the theathre were disappointed... But I guess we'll see...
