Our UMR Review Of The Batman (2022)

Finally got around to seeing the latest Batman movie. First of all….I admit I liked the movie. There are some major flaws that kept me from loving the movie.

Flaw one: Not enough of the Bruce Wayne world. I did not buy his relationship with his Alfred at all. Wayne goes across more as a homeless person than a billionaire. Flaw two: The pacing of the movie. The final 40 minutes seemed off and the grand finale was a letdown. Flaw three: The movie was so dark that it was difficult to really have “fun” watching it.

Things I liked. Paul Dano as the Riddler was fun to watch. I liked Robert Pattinson as Batman. I liked the feel of the movie….as it was more of a detective story versus a superhero movie. I enjoyed the music in the movie.

Final thought: I liked it, but it is nowhere near as good as either Batman Begins or the Dark Knight.
