Wrong.
I don't see why this has to be MTV-edited action fest. It's the state of the audience I guess.
Idk Bud it seems like your on the wrong side of this one.
It really wasn’t that good just cliche after cliche and way to long.

You’re not going to win this argument with me. “Bud.”
It could have been shorter but I didn’t feel the length of it like you guys did.
No ones really arguing
My favorite part was when Batman figured everything out and saved the day. Super refreshing take on a 60 year old franchise
My second favorite was when the mayor got shot and everyone thought she was dead but then she wasn’t

I actually saw goonies for the first time I few years ago at a Tuesday night classic. I was surprised how much I liked it.
In that same vein, I saw Hocus Pocus, and was appalled at how bad it was. I just pretended I had diarrhea and made the family leave.

We watched Ghostbusters and Goonies when they first came out. Our son was 8 (and then 9 for Goonies) and he loved both movies, so even though we didn't feel quite the same about them they still have nostalgic value for us. We saw Hocus Pocus almost a decade later and it was without our son so there was no saving it. It was just weak, start to finish, despite a solid cast.

Not sure anyone said that or intimated that? Pretty sure Stout isn’t your typical “MTV-edited action fest-fan.” It’s a 3 hour movie. That’s longer than The Godfather. This story wasn’t grand or operatic enough to justify that length, IMO.Wrong.

Also, in rewatching, Batman literally fails at pretty much EVERYTHING in the movie. The more I watch of it, the less I like it.

Crazy thing about this one is that this didn’t really even happen. The entire city got destroyed. Who knows how many people died outside of Gotham Square Garden.

I’m using it as a prescriptionless cure for insomnia. Works like a charm after ten minutes but continually noticing more flaws before it puts me to sleep.

Liked that Batman was kinda more human wearing armor.
Bruce Wayne was awful
Penguin good
Almost everything else really bad. Gotham, the feel, etc all just felt like a rewind of every other Batman.
Hated the batmobile - I mean I hated the freaking batmobile. That says everything.
Too long. And frankly boring.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
lol You're "wrong" on this member of the audience, and overall just wrong. Then again, you do like trying to tell me what my opinion about a movie should beWrong.

This Adam West infused The Batman trailer is amazing… and infinitely more entertaining than that 3 hour slog:

The scene where the machine guns are providing the lighting there is the best!
Pretty much my thoughts exactly. It all worked for me. My 2nd favorite. My biggest issue was by far the portrayal of Bruce. I mean who couldn't guess he is Batman with that portrayal.
Agreed. A bit baffling that Bruce was able to keep his identity secret. Heck a film though.
I've always wondered how that class action suit turned out. You know, because it did, in fact, end.
This was ok in some parts because I do love me some Batman, but overall, I doubt I would sit through it again.
Bruce Wayne was bad. Fortunately, it was a small amount of that. Catwoman on the other hand, meeeeowww!

After the 2nd go-around... I've gotta say it's a great movie to nap to.

Lol… right? It has very little rewatchability, IMO.

Just watched this. What a snooze fest. I mean, I dug the noir/detective vibes but man this movie was slow and a lot longer than it needed to be.
I watched this again on the plane and this is now my 2nd favorite non animated Batman movie after TDK. The Riddler is an amazing indictment of current society. We get an actual Batman movie, not a Batman villian movie.
I see all the negative comments above but this was very close to the top notch animated Batman movies. I really hope we get a sequel
