This shall trigger people: Let me nip it in the bud!
From a technical standpoint the movie is fantastic! The cinematography, the directing, the choice of music, Joaquin Phoenix Performance, the script... all of these were great.
Which brings the issue if all those things we're great, why do I think the movie is shit?
The movie is a love letter to Scorsese. Many claim that this is the movie strength but it's also its weakness.
This movie is NOT a DC MOVIE, which is how I'm measuring it. If you swap a Gotham for New York City and replace the Waynes for say, the Trumps you'd have the same movie.
There is nothing intrinsically DC about the movie... It almost feels as if this movie was NOT originally a DC movie and then they reskinned it with DC elements.
This is why this movie failed *FOR ME*.
As a pretentious "artsy fartsy" film, it works wonderfully. As a Comic Book movie, well, this falls apart worse than anything by Suck Snyder.
Should you see it? Yes. Just don't expect this to be a Joker movie.
Action figures, Movies, Games, TV shows, things I like, Things I hate, weird news old or recent... they're fair game for my rants. DISCLAIMER: OPINIONS POSTED ARE EXAGGERATED FOR COMEDIC EFFECT!! Got it?
