Just saw this movie. Haven’t read anything about it other than “the movie is long and dark”. Well…both are correct. ****, that movie is long and dark.
It’s also almost entirely a rip-off of other movies.
I agree with
@xboxfever …this movie puts the characters in comic book situations brilliantly. The audience had to cut through the disturbing darkness to get there, but there’s even some hidden campiness, which I appreciated.
However…most of the movie rips off other films…and not even the same genres so it can’t be satire (can it?)…badly.
It was mentioned above by
@WalkingCY that The Riddler was kind of like John Doe from Se7en. Well, he was EXACTLY like that. It wasn’t even that. It was the whole movie ambience. Lifted.
“The Penguin” was a 100% lift from The Untouchables.
For f sake, there is even a 100% lift early straight out of Halloween (car murder). I mean…the entire scene is almost exact.
Those are just a few examples. I really don’t see a lot of original content in this film. It’s weird. Oh yeah…it’s long too.
There is the scene with the DA. The DA scene. That one was awesome. I’m not sure there are many better. Too bad it was 45 minutes into the movie, because it drags after that, and it’s really too bad. Could have been awesome. Drop some ****.
