batman
so i finally watched the batman huh
batman
thoughts ig
batman
i'm way behind but who cares
batman
i liked it, but after all the fanfare, i kind of expected i would
batman
i don't think i have anything poignant to say about the cinematography or anything, although aesthetically i thought it was great
batman
i thought all the darkness and use of shadows was really good
batman
i definitely think he looks the best in the cowl, and i have got to say some of those angles they give him are stellar
batman
and you could tell they knew that because they shoot him like slightly off angle ALL the time in the movie
batman
to show off the angularity of his jaw and intensify his eyes
batman
which like, no complaints
batman
everyone was great, honestly
batman
jeffrey wright is a great gordon, turturro was a great falcone, zoe was a great selina, dano was a great riddler, although the most different from any comic version
batman
farrell was a great penguin
batman
all really good character actors in general
batman
turturro and farrell in particular
batman
my wife noted that selina's highlights were on point the entire film
batman
i dont have any issue whatsoever with the length, OR the 3rd act
batman
the first two halves were very sparing with their action, but we really didn't see him like struggle hard too much
batman
although lmao at that beefed air glide
batman
but he really went ham in that last bit in the garden
batman
the electrical current cut was a great shot, though sort of dramatic considering he came up like right afterward
batman
him taking a shotgun blast to the chest and eating shit was probably the most satisfying
batman
and the venom? epinephrine? pretty good
batman
neat how he had like a little place built into the suit to give an injection
batman
THEIR LITTLE MOTORCYCLE RIDE AT THE VERY END WAS MY FAVORITE PART AND ACTUALLY MADE ME FEEL A THING?
batman
like don't get me wrong, i enjoyed their chemistry through the whole thing
batman
and i think they established their character rapport really well despite how quickly they had to do it, despite the movie being 3 hours long
batman
they were certainly juggling a lot of plot points
batman
but him leaning in sort of for a kiss and her denying him, and then them riding together with her separating afterward is like
batman
definitely batcat energy lmao
batman
anyway that's all i got right now
batman
could have done without that little joker bit at the end
batman
unnecessary
cat lady
Fast & Furious 7 Official ending scene Paul Walker t...
ok, but
batman
LOL
batman
look i can't watch that i'm too white boy to not feel something
cat lady
god, you're lame
batman
ye
go rimbaud
i saw that video and thought "no i'm not watching that i'll tear up" so
go rimbaud
you're in company at least
batman
LMAO
go rimbaud
also god every time bruce ate shit in this movie, is it weird that the more likely he is to eat shit the more i like him
batman
king knows what's up
batman
FAMILY
batman
RIGHT THAT LAST SHOT OF HIM JUST ABSOLUTELY COVERED FROM HEAD TO TOE IN CUTS AND BLOOD AND SEAWATER AND JUST FUCKING.... ASBESTOS SOOT FROM HOWEVER LONG AGO THEY BUILT THAT GODDAMN STADIUM
batman
chef kiss
go rimbaud
i felt so much more about that shot in context to
Pinky Hood
Yeah, ngl. Watching this Bruce getting HURT was weirdly satisfying. Not in a way "I hate this guy" but in a "Oh sweet. They're showing he's still new at this and flying by the seat of his pants."
go rimbaud
knowing that he's covered in dirt and grime not after a big throwdown fight, but because he's been in the shit helping people out of a flood
batman
yeah it's really funny how like
Pinky Hood
When he does that gasp just before jumping off of the GCPD tower, it felt good because you know he's thinking "oh FUCK. I don't know what I'm doing."
batman
a single shot of him carrying one nameless person to a helicopter gurney and her putting her hand on his chest and him looking her in the eyes and putting his hand over hers
Pinky Hood
And then BLAM. Smacked onto the bridge on the way down
batman
was more meaningful a moment than any scene of him saving anyone in any batman movie ever
batman
lmao
go rimbaud
yeah, that shit absolutely hits
Pinky Hood
YES. The third act really hammers Bruce being a symbol of hope and letting go of being a symbol of fear
Pinky Hood
Nice touch with twisting the "I am vengeance" line in the third act too
go rimbaud
anyway there were two moments i had a real vocal reaction to
batman
OH MY GOD YES
batman
i was just gonna say
go rimbaud
one was wincing when he beefed that landing
batman
the riddler fan being like "i am vengeance" and batman just looking
batman
haunted
batman
i was like oh SHIT
Pinky Hood
YEAH
batman
it's a line too good for my dumbass to write
go rimbaud
the other was cackling when he found a ramp in that big car crash
batman
OH
batman
AND WHEN HE FUCKING
batman
STALLED HIS ENGINE AFTER REVVING IT TOO MUCH
go rimbaud
lizard brain loves car stunts
batman
that got a laugh
go rimbaud
anyway yeah my one real criticism is leave out the joker cameo thanks
batman
i'm at least glad they cut his face from that other version
batman
cause it's real dumb and bad
batman
but alternatively i DO love what they did with the joker gang in the movie
go rimbaud
god i hated everything i saw from it
go rimbaud
everything else? this movie rips real hard
batman
when he was slow walking out of the shadows with the bomb with coulson i was like
batman
lmao this stupid asshole is just walking to maintain aesthetic
batman
my man is crying with a bomb strapped around his neck
batman
but you gotta slow walk for the aesthetic
batman
cause the first time when he walks out to the joker gang it's like oh shit it's about to go DOWN
Pinky Hood
Best review of The Batman
Best review of The Batman
batman
but the second time with coulson i'm like ok come on you asshole
𝓉𝒶𝒸𝑜 𝒷𝑒𝓁𝓁𝑒
that review of the batman is what made me want to watch the batman
go rimbaud
bruce wayne is a weird little freak who's devoted his whole life to the aesthetic
batman
you know she's gonna have to save him after he absolutely eats shit in whatever no man's land business they follow up with
前に進もう。
finally you arrive
batman
although i do hope he cuts his hair
cat lady
you saw the artwork with their original Look for bruce, right? i imagine they're working towards that lol
go rimbaud
god what a perfect review
batman
rofl he gets shot in the chest and she's like shh it's okay it's done and kisses him and he's like
batman
ok no wait i'm actually alive
batman
i think i'll be ok now
Pinky Hood
God... also the contact lenses. When he tells her to look at him. FOR HALF A SECOND IT MIGHT BE ROMANTIC
Pinky Hood
But no. He's just checking the tech
go rimbaud
irony-poisoned millenials have had enough of power fantasy batman, give us the absolute crustiest little goth nerd
Pinky Hood
Hell yes
batman
i mean i do still love power fantasy batman cause that's what he ultimately is and i will never not love him just tearing ass but
batman
if you're not reading or writing him to absolutely have him eat shit a lot then you're for sure missing the point
go rimbaud
i'll admit that one of the reasons i liked batffleck is that i could imagine that guy frequently eating shit
batman
well, i feel a lot more about rbatz than i do battfleck tbh
ʙʟᴀᴄᴋɢᴜᴀʀᴅ ʙᴏʏ
I loved Bruce and Alfred and alfred ramping the sass to 12
go rimbaud
oh absolutely
go rimbaud
rbattz shows up and i'm like batffleck who
batman
it always hurts me internally when a bruce says a mean thing to literally any alfred
batman
"like you're a wayne?"
batman
"your father gave me those"
batman
shut your fucking mouth, emo kid
batman
he just took his own cufflinks off of his own goddamn suit
go rimbaud
bruce was so fucking rude to him at the beginning
batman
slap you in the mouth for talkin that way
batman
to my man alfred
batman
love that they went with secret service alfred
go rimbaud
alfred has never done anything wrong in his life, he does not deserve this
batman
something i miss about rebirth alfred
go rimbaud
and he's taking it because his heart is full of nothing but love
batman
oh bruce definitely like
batman
looked down in shame and didn't say a word after
batman
he knew he got fucking owned right in his feelings
go rimbaud
as he should every time he talks shit about alfred
batman
him screaming in the batmobile trying to get there in time but like making the scream silent was a good shot
♦VEN#m
god that part was so good
Pinky Hood
Andy Sekris was not someone I imagined as Alfred but man. He made it work. Definitely looked like he was in the secret service too
batman
i'm so glad andy is so recognized outside of his amazing mocap work
go rimbaud
he figured it out by the end, but a lot of the movie was about bruce needing to get his heart right
batman
he's so talented
batman
oh yeah this is the part where he's like oh no i'm feeding into this
batman
like the riddler was a little weirdo but he wasn't wrong
batman
my boy downright looked horny getting arrested and seeing batman
batman
another thing they got right, i might add
batman
paul dano really sold the whole orgasm face that any one of his rogues might have when being arrested and seeing batman
batman
i hope they introduce some other female characters in selina's absence until she ultimately comes back for the sequel
batman
like vicki or sasha or something
go rimbaud
sasha might be hard to work at this point, though i could see some ins just from the events of this movie
batman
yeah
batman
i'd like to at least see harvey introduced since tHERE IS AN OPEN SPOT IN THE DA NOW
batman
but not necessarily two face
batman
keep harvey whole for the second movie
batman
i'm actually kind of excited for the penguin series, if it ever actually gets made
Pinky Hood
Wasn't sure what to think when they announced Colin Farrell as the penguin but goddamn the man really just owned the role during the whole movie
batman
Colin Farrell's Penguin transformation was crazy #th...
Pinky Hood
Holy shit
batman
batman
they really took advantage of this angle like the whole movie but
batman
it's definitely his best angle
