Wasted R-Rated!

Rating: 5/10 (12 November 2019)

All the movie can sum up in a sentence, "Tod Phillips is still not a world class director".
Joaquin phoenix is not being controlled in any part of the movie, The story is not being developed at all... no real challenge is being put infront of the audience.
We don't feel the "Gotham city" atmosphere as we should at all as well. for example, the director wants us to feel the "Evilness" in the city ... he gives you three so called tense sences and how he does that starts from a dialogue from Pheonix when he is in thrapay;
"It's getting darker out there" or something like that... followed up with a next part that his board is stolen by some kids and then he gets beat up... and the third part is when he first commits murder in the subway.
That's all the director does to make us feel the evilness in gotham city!
Everytime we wanna get in touch with a challenge the main character is going though, The movie takes it away from you as soon as possible... The love story in his head, the adoption story, ...
and at the end... he gives you this "Emotional wannabe" ending where he tries to get the Bruce Wayne's parents murder sence to make you get a nostalgic feeling but even that doesn't pin out in my opinion.
