Surprisingly good

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2019)

I'm a massive Nolan/Heath/Bale fan and was in two minds about going to see this (especially after the suicide squad version of the joker).
But I was pleasantly surprised.
I went in wanting to hate it, but by the end credits I was almost punching the air. If your after an emotional response - you'll find it here.
Pacing does lag a little in the middle, but picks up nicely towards the end. Didn't spoil my enjoyment.
Critics seem to be split - but I think the negative reviewers are getting caught up in the "noise" around this film. Judge it as a film - not a social commentary.
