The screenwriters killed the talent of the actors. Part of the plot is an copy of the "Law-abiding Citizen". The movie is not worth spending money on a movie theater.

M’enfin bref, ce nouveau Batmou est aussi mou et bavard que les précédents, ceux de Nolan. Et pour cause, puisqu’il dure lui aussi pas loin de3 plombes ! tu m’étonnes que le machin n’avance pas… Très peu d’action et plein de blabla de merde. D’autant que l’intrigue n’intrigue pas mais nous passe au contraire carrément par dessus la tête.

En outre, la « Catwoman » est très décevante et n’a que ses formes pour elle… et par ailleurs, si l’ambiance (très nocturne) est plus proche de l’esprit « Batman », la batmobile sort de chez Mad Max et les tenues apparaissent étrangement bricolées : les super-héros s’équipent en effet entièrement chez Bricorama ! M’enfin bref, c’est de la merde ce Batmou tout mou, ils ont donc (encore) merdé chez DC.

The Batman is a movie that claims to revolutionize big-screen adaptations of the classic character, but fails in almost every way.

The cinematography and music/score are amazing, but every other aspect of this movie left me wanting.

Batman is a moody like a teenager, and clearly is supposed to learn a lesson about what he represents to the city of Gotham. But that lesson is completely unearned by the end of the film, and in fact his character is almost superfluous to the heroic climax.

Zoe Kravitz tries to deliver an intriguing Catwoman, but the writing leaves her as a damsel in distress multiple times, and the super-flawed Batman is constantly taking the moral high ground with her and talking down to her.

Colin Ferrell's Penguin was a high point for his performance and humor, but underused as just a secondary villain.

The plot is plodding and overly-long. Upon my second watch of the movie, I found myself drifting off to sleep often in the first half. Knowing what happens next, I lost all interest in the mystery because it is delivered in an unexciting manner. The Riddler is the main antagonist for awhile, but then disappears from the movie and is replaced with a string of other threats before becoming just another item to be checked off the list by the end.

The action is well choreographed, but just like other DCEU films, there is a swath of collateral damage that is far too apparent to be ignored as it is. Batman is just as destructive at the end of the film as he is at the beginning, leaving one to wonder what the lesson is to be learned here.

On a related note, the movie does touch upon current issues such as corruption and greed in politics and government, but then has a very regressive take on the mentally ill and the drug epidemic. The themes presented here are muddled and presented in a slap-dash manner that makes little sense.

Overall, I found the movie boring, regressive, and without meaningful themes.

Not even george Clooney was bad as the soy bat. Truly difficult to watch. It was like watch a wet cardboard box dressed as a bat trying to convince you that he's a real boy.

Could’ve easily cut an hours away. Not the typical (good) Batman movie with action, a god plot and well developed characters, this movie was the exact opposite. Pattinson and Kravitz have talent better used for better movies.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a preety bad 3 hour long movie. Good for people with insonmia to sleep through. It felt and looked childish with no potential dialogue for the entire movie, it all just feels like a huge stall. And for about 1 hour we had this horrible riddles of "what is a rat with wings " (in spanish, as if it wasnt enoufh of a joke). The worst is that no one knew the answer.,. First of, they wre like "oh its the penguin", then they came up with a pidgeon idea, then with a bat, then with another animal and it was like that for 1 hour. Expand

Pattison is not very good as "The Batman". The acting was good, but the story, the writing and directing are all terrible. At times the movie seems to be looking for something to do there was no need for this movie to be three hours long. Save Your Money.

Theres a car chase that causes the crash of almost every car on the highway as well as a few tankers that explode for good measure. This is never even addressed lol. Hell Batman and Jim let the guy they were chasing who helped do all that go afterwards Expand

Probably the worst movie I have seen in a while. If you want to see a weird loner try to play "batman" with no emotion or feel this is it. The action felt stale, and the movie dragged for 3 hours.

For starters who was that person that was supposed to be Bruce Wayne/Batman? This Batman is afraid of heights? When he fights, he actually stumbles when hit by a punch or punches. Meanwhile he is supposed to wear a bullet-proof gear, so that bullets shot at him do nothing, and bounce off him like pop-corn. His armour is strong enough to withstand bullets coming at him at close quarters but not strong enough to absorb punches? This Batman is a walking oxymoron. Then, there is that silly walk, out of the dark to confront some street baddies, at a crime scene, and in a Police station. Talking about the Police Station, what is Batman doing at a Police Station? He seemed like a wanna-be sleuth volunteering to help the police with errands to buy doughnuts and coffee, hoping that one day he would some how get involved in the real crime-investigation stuff. How pathetic. The Batman portrayed in “The Batman” was anything but the Batman expected. This stripped down, brooding, detached version, made the character so ordinary. What is the point of dressing someone up in so much gear with all the gizmos and gadgets and then making him so ordinary? There is a reason why he is called a superhero. Batman either is or is not. If he is not, then get rid of the whole gear, which makes him look overdressed. Also, why did it take so long for the bat mobile to make an appearance, one of the bright spots in the movie? The bat cycle on the other hand just looked like an ordinary motorbike. To make bad, worse, all of the story unfolds over an unnecessarily long duration. No marks for guessing what my rating of this movie is. Expand

That said my main issue with this is the fact that the Riddler is basically a puzzle gimp. The mask is pretty tragic and the character is over the top yet boring at the same time. Part of Riddler’s most iconic look is undoubtedly the green suit. It’s refined and comes as an expectation of the character. The Riddler comes across with a lot less eccentricity when compared to other Riddlers for example the Arkham Games or Ed Nygma in Gotham. Both had that eccentric flair that drove the portrayal.

Another thing that bothers me is Bruce and Batman, seemingly lacking dialogue and more of a side character in his own story. With little suspense and predictable outcomes the movie isn’t really worth 3 hours of anyone’s time.

My final point is the car… a billionaire opts to drive what looks like a modified 70s sports car with an afterburner strapped to the back… of all things. With a positive note being the chase scene is fairly entertaining for all of a few minutes. With one or two twists, don’t really give it your time.
