Pretty Good

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2015)

I wanted to love this movie. I used to be a big Batman fan, Michael Keaton is great overall. I didn't hate this movie. It was somewhere on the good side of "middling" I guess.
The "one-shot" thing was great, very impressive technically. It was so impressive actually that it sometimes distracted me from the story. But the story was good. I cared about the lead characters. Emma Stone is unbelievable in it, I'm not surprised she's up for awards at all.
I think there were some missed opportunities in terms of payoffs to things they were setting up, but I hate spoilers so I won't go into specifics.
If you at all are interested in theater, or the process by which stage plays are put on, and all the politics and craziness around them - then this is probably a must watch. If not, then you might enjoy this just as an interesting story.
Great actors. Good story. A few missed opportunities but OK.
