Saw it the other day. Fantastically original cinematography and a proper noir feel to it from the word go. Script is great, acting is top drawer (Pattinson was surprisingly good; I haven't seen him in much but when I have he's been ****e. Dafoe is magnificent).

But it definitely isn't for everyone. It's a very slow burner and genuinely unsettling at times. Plus the layered metaphors and confusing as hell symbolism (loads of greek mythology) means I'd recommend going for a drink and a quiet sit down afterwards just to process what the **** just happened. <ok>
Didn’t like it, too much hard work.

I saw "The Witch" from the same director and that is essentially the same thing.

He loves his period pieces to have realistic English dialects that can be immediately off putting. I found especially with the Witch it was often hard to understand what the **** they were talking about.

Apart from that I think his films are as @Blueman Said, a little bit too much work. I'm not invested enough in the relatively simplistic plot to try and figure out all the metaphors.

Btw Robert Pattinson is a fine actor, he was simply shoe horned into classic teen romance stuff at a younger age to cash in on sex appeal. When he acts, he acts well.

Hes the new batman.
 
Batman and James Bond are two of the most overhyped roles ever.

A cinderblock could play Batman and James Bond is without saying. Even the current actor doesn't enjoy the role.
Of course, but i do like most things batman tbh. Big fan of the Gotham tv show. And the nolan trilogy (last one is ****e though)

Skyfall was the only decent bond craig has done for me, not a massive fan of his series of bond movies anyway, not cos of him but more cos i prefer them ridiculous rather than realistic.

I like most things batman too, but it's not a nuanced role.
