The Batman (Matt Reeves, March 4, 2022) Movie • Page 152

No Way Home was definitely pretty laissez faire as far as spoilers went. Andrew and Tobey were talked about openly basically as long as it'd been reported they'd be in the movie

 

Yeah the rules were not enforced at all in the No Way Home thread lol

 

Guys, let's not talk about other movies like that in this thread. I still haven't seen it and I purposely don't go to that thread so I don't get spoiled.

 

I liked a lot of aspects of this movie, but as a whole it fell a little flat for me.

The beginning sequence with the Bat signal was incredible though, I have to say. I felt the dread those criminals had of the dark. Really well done.

 

I liked this more than I thought I was going to. Appreciate they set it before Batman learns how to be Bruce Wayne and that Pattinson plays him like a loner freak

 

this is tied with TDK as my favorite.
Just love how deliberate every scene is. They had a vision and really stuck to it

The only time the movie loses me is during the flood scene, feels a little long and a little too grandiose for how grounded the rest of the movie was.

 

Should have been a larger disaster like halfway through the movie, and then just make it Zero Year

 

Pattinson is so good in the scene with Riddler in Arkham…when Riddler is chanting Bruce Wayne, Batman looks legitimately uncomfortable and anxious in an almost childish way which I can’t say I’ve ever seen in a movie like this before.

 

I wasn't scared of Paul Dano at all. None of the scenes with him gave me an form of creepiness or tension. The Riddler scenes when he murdered people were cool, but I didn't love the way this came out as a whole.

 

I will say that, on our TV at least (and this is with the fire stick by the way), oh my god the HBO Max app is the LOUDEST of any other platform. I have to turn the volume waaaaaaaay down any time we use it. I really like the content, but the audio issues I experience with it are crazy compared to the others.

 

Weird, I have to turn the volume UP for HBO

 

Yea, I have to turn it up for HBO Max.

 

(Minus the COVID factor), the theater is always the best way to watch any movie

 

Heartbreak feels good in a place like that

 

I dunno. Some movies are perfect for watching at home where you can pause and go to the bathroom. These are generally not very good movies though. I would agree great movies are best seen on the big screen.

 

Theaters recently have really been bugging me because they aren't loud enough. The characters were whispering in Spiderman. I legit had to go ask them to turn it up

 

Would 100 out of 100 times rather watch a movie at home than in a theater these days. Other people suck, theaters give me anxiety, and not being able to pause is a real drag. I can't think of any reason why'd I'd choose to drive somewhere else and deal with other people if I could watch something at home. The slight wait to see Batman was totally worth it versus how miserable I was watching Spider-Man in a theater.

 

Agreed 100%. Is the theater cool on its own? Heck yeah but I have absolutely turned into a complete hermit over the last few years haha.

 

I think I've gotten very lucky and really only had annoying crowds for horror movies (My experiences with The Witch and 5cream come to mind)

But comedies are funnier (Every Jackass movie I've seen in a theater has been a blast) and I'm way more locked in to slow burns if i'm in a theater. I saw The Irishman in theaters and that was a full on religious experience for me. No distractions for 3.5 hours. Then 2 weeks later when it hit Netflix I heard people say they got bored and would look at their phones and turn it off halfway thru.

As film lovers, we are lucky to live in an era where we have the option to see something in theaters (if its close to where you live of course) or wait til it hits streaming if that is what you prefer

 

I miss having weekdays off and being able to see every movie with me and 3 senior citizens at 10 am on a Tuesday.

 

I don't know how anyone could sit through the 3 hours of The Batman in the theater and not need to get up once.

Home > Theater any day

 

Not only did I do it, but my mom did it, and she's in her 70s.

 

I was feeling a bit of "alright let's wrap this up so i can leave" in those last 30 minutes but it was worth it

 

I made sure to not drink anything before hand.

I was very hungry + thirsty after, that's for sure.
