More horror vibes with Batman slowly peering down at helpless Oswald. I immediately thought of the child catcher from "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang"

Another piece from the soundtrack, "Sonata in Darkness":

My mom doesn't want to see this, but I can't not see this, so it looks like I'm gonna have to suck it up and see it by myself.

Turns out Water Tower Music uploaded the whole album to YT, and I gotta say, whatever the rest of the movie, Michael Giacchino brought his A-game to this:

Michael Giacchino has been one of my favorite movie/TV composers for a while, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he brought this.
The album is also up on Spotify, so I'm adding it to the music I been listening to in the shower.

Had it playing as browsing background during this session, it is intense!

Generally favorable but didn't like the length.

"despite its origins, this detective-driven take owes more to movies like "Seven" and "L.A. Confidential" than other superhero fare."

Oh, dear. I disliked both those movies -- way too grim and depressing for me.

Although the fact that it has noirish narration by Bruce is interesting.


Here's ScreenCrush's review, not too different in its assessment:

https://screencrush.com/the-batman-review/

This review claims that Colin Farrell's Penguin speaks with a cartoony Italian accent. Why in the hell would a man named Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot have an Italian accent???? It sounds like the worst kind of stereotyping, assuming that anyone connected to organized crime must be Italian.
 
With the exception of IGN, most of the reviews are saying that the final half-hour feels like a tacked-on, studio-mandated action sequence that doesn't fit well with the tone of the rest of the movie. Which was pretty much my opinion of the third act of Batman Begins -- that they took what had been a pretty grounded movie and tacked on a gratuitous, fanciful action climax that undermined the film's intelligence. I guess studios will be studios.
 
I haven't read any reviews. I bought my tickets with some friends for Saturday. I'm super "meh" about this but I've seen the scores are pretty good so :shrug:

I haven't been in theaters since Spiderman, 2.5 months ago so figured I might as well go to avoid being spoiled.

That was how I felt about the Dark Knight ending. The whole thing with Two Face never made sense to me and made the move drag on longer than it needed to.

If you thought that undermined the film's intelligence then you must really hate Marvel movies.

I can see that complaint with a movie like Man Of Steel, but not with Batman Begins. The former made the mistake of dragging the kryptonian fight on for far too long, but the battle with Ras-Al- Gul felt like the natural climax of everything we had been seeing up to that point and it didn't go on for very long. No matter how grounded in reality a Batman movie is, it's still at it's core a super hero movie which usually means a battle between the hero and villain at the end.

IGN gave it a 10/10.

After their glowing review for The Last Jedi, I take everything IGN says with a mountain of salt.

Thinking back to the previous Batman films, there isn't one of them I would give a 10 because that would mean the movie is perfect without any flaws in it.
