Went and watched it today. It’s probably a 6-7 out of 10. The story had nothing to it. The villain was meh and I still can’t get into Affleck as Batman.
Flash and Aquaman were the best parts. |

You whine about Bale's version of Batman but you're ok with the robot voice that Affleck does?
And the whole "secret identity" of Batman when played by Affleck is a joke. It's like they don't even care that he's supposed to be hiding who he is. |

I actually prefer the Neil Adams/Grant Morrison Batman where he's basically James Bond who doesn't kill or use guns and is completely overpowered in terms of narrative (always having some sort of card hidden up his sleeve the whole time). That to me, is the ultimate incarnation of Batman (even the cartoon was a reflection of this). Alas, WB/Synder wants to do the realism thing so if we're going to do the realism thing, let's ACTUALLY take it more seriously. Nolan wanted to do pseudo-bullshit realism where everything is super gritty and "realistic" yet no one knows who Batman is and Batman doesn't "kill". In this version, they throw all that pretentious garbage out the window and come out and admit that Batman & Alfred are, in fact, criminals from Day 1 and anyone with half a brain could work out who Batman is so he might as well tell his allies up front. No issues there. Batman QUITTING for 10 years or whatever because his ****ing girlfriend died (except she wasn't actually his girlfriend) is just about the opposite of what The God Damn Batman would do. I can admit that TDK and TDKR are enjoyable, decent flicks on their own. But in terms of Batman, he's not in them.

Also agree with this but that isn't Affleck's fault.

I like Affleck as Batman...as said above he looks the part. I also hope he stays on for future movies.

The only person who has really nailed the Bruce Wayne voice vs Batman voice is Conroy, but Affleck's vocoder is acceptable.

And man, I would like to go see this movie while it's on the big screen, but I just can't muster the enthusiasm to go drop 15-20 bucks on a ticket for it. I'll probably kick myself for not doing it when I finally do see it on one of the movie channels....

they have $5-$6 shows at most movie theatres down here. Not the prime time 7-9pm shows but, for the price, it's a bargain.

Finally got to see it. I actually do think the reviews are a bit harsh... this is way better than Batman vs. Superman. It was fun to see the characters on screen together too.
Although I have to concede the work on Cavill's mustache is just awful. I was able to get past it but I could see why people had a hard time taking the movie seriously with that kind of look. I saw where one of the FX guys said on reddit that they rushed everything, it sure looked like it. |
