UMR Review

Saw the latest superhero movie in theaters on opening night. My big draw to this was seeing Michael Keaton returning as Batman.

The Good: This movie is filled with lots of DC Easter Eggs. This covers previous movies and television shows. Ezra Miller, and some will not like reading this, is really good in a duo role. Michael Keaton is super fun to watch as Batman over 30 years after originally playing Bruce Wayne. Movie has an awesome final scene with an incredible cameo.

The Bad: The final 30 minutes seemed to drag. The final 30 minutes featured our heroes standing in front of a green screen as the computer experts filled the screen with somewhat boring images. Some of the motivations of the characters do not make a lot of sense when you stop and think about the plot twists.

Final thought: I liked it. None of the other three members of my family did. My 14 year old strongly disliked it. My wife was super bored. My 16 year old gave it a “it’s ok”.
