films

It's pretty much all been done before but this has the Sam Neil, Dern and Goldblum from the original back in it so worth a watch imo

As you say done to death, for us but i think they've done a decent job reinventing it for a younger audience again. They aren't terrible films the 2 new ones

The Batman

Very good 8.5/10

Much more like a detective whodunnit.

The difference with Nolan is he really knows how to put the right background music with the right film.

Good film though. Pattinson made a good batman as well.

I also enjoyed the whodunnit adaptation of the plot. Also the really dark, brutalist noir that I've always preferred as a more loyal reflection of the original character was done really well and Pattinson was the perfect choice to pull off this interpretation.

I completely agree - the soundtrack was truly atrocious and most of the time seemed at odds with what was happening on screen. Bizarre given the budget this must have been working with.

I also think it dragged on for too long and symptomatic of this was the fact that Riddler's clues got easier and quicker to solve as the film went on - a sure sign that the directors realised they were stuck in a bind with wanting a packed script but also not wanting to split it into a part I and II.

Colin Farrell was surprisingly good as Penguin and Paul Dano was excellent as Riddler - hugely underrated actor IMO, I thought he was excellent in Swiss Army Man and iirc that's his only lead role to date. I also wanted a lot more from Andy Serkis as Alfred but he was a relatively minor character compared to other adaptations.

I'll give it a 7.5/10.
