A Solid 8/10

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2020)

I think a lot of the reviews on here are a bit over the top, its a very good movie but in no way the masterpiece that they would have you believe. Its a very intense movie and perfectly set in a Gotham which is portrayed as a sort of grim, bleak, grimy New York but at times you feel yourself wondering how long of the movie is left given the film's slow pace. Everything about the movie is pretty good though with one exception, Joaquin Phoenix is superb in the lead and will no doubt get best actor at the Oscars. This ain't no Marvel movie which, for me at least, can only be a good thing.
