IMPRESSIVE ! EVEN IF A BIT LONG!
I had done a review on this some time ago and I must admit I'm ashamed to say I gave this film a really bad review. I actually fell asleep the first time watching this movie. I was with friends and we had a few drinks and we were not expecting such a deep film. So with that in mind we were all waiting for this film to get going. I decided I needed to give this film another chance and I would watch it in my home theater(which was not built the first time I watched this movie).This film is a comic book geeks dream come true. There is so much attention to detail in this movie that it takes an hour before we see The Batman. I am sure this is what put some people off who didn't like this film, but I found myself engrossed in this man's personal journey. To be fair to mainstream movie goers, I was a big comic book reader in my youth and I still love super hero films and collectables to this day, so this film might be a tad bit tedious and dark for a person who really isn't into comic book heroes.Although I did enjoy this film it seemed to be a little too serious for my taste. A casual movie go-er might want to try Spider-Man, it's got a great story and it's a lot of fun....something I expect from a superhero movie. OK, all you DC fans I'm bracing myself...............;-b
