Let's get this from above.
No, you don't see Thomas and Martha Wayne die.
You hear it correctly: with a mercy, in Hollywood's latest efforts to reintroduce Batman, Director and Co-Writer Matt Reeves jump over a respectable story, many of them are said.
There is no pearl. There is no popcorn. There's no way. There are no robbers. I come before you today tell you: our military nightmare is over.
Let's be honest: If I haven't told you, you will spend two hours Batman and fifty-five minutes walking (!) Hovering in a stable and defensive theater chair in the theater chair. The state of low-level fear, waiting for the damn pearl hit the sidewalk again. Well, I'm here to tell you: they don't.
(Some of me believe we will not achieve a long-standing cultural speech of this film called The Teen Titans go! To the film in 2018. My part in question is my ego that is increasing, because I expect that the joke will affect it at that time .)
Set the scene (in Gotham)
Smart, Batman began in a media property race, as if, stipulates that the rich descendants of Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson) have been tied to bulletproof rocks for two years, spending the night on the roof. Spend time wandering and beating gangs and street robbers and people like them. (FILEY CAST film really produces their agreement; every caped crusader movement resonates like thunder, and every time he turns his head, we hear the great-grandson he wears.) He has got it now. Until Commissioner Jim Gordon (Jeffrey) had not found the Allies. Wright), and the head of the servant Alfred (Andy Serkis) has more or less familiar with the war on Chiroptera Bruce-themed crime.
Still, he brings a lot on his shoulders, above and above Kevlar. There are serial killers (Paul Dano's Riddler) targeting some of Gotham's most prominent residents and leaving instructions for Batman on his crime scene. There was a missing cocktail servant and his friend Selina (Zoe Kravitz) set out to slap Beanie earned a cat to her and deal with the mafia who took her away. Selina's boss, Penguin (Colin Farrell buried under the mugs of prosthetics), maybe or may not be mixed with all this, and of course with the crime boss of Gotham Carmine Falcone (John Turturro).
Reeves and co-Writer Peter Craig has completed a back-to-basial approach to Batman and his world. Where the Burton Go team, Joel Schumacher rushed up and down, and Christopher Nolan tried to kind of gray realism, soft, gunmetal, Reeves' Batman seems to be low on stylistic climax that reflects the approach of the director in particular and is more care By combining different elements, there are already from Batman Lore in a new way.
Of course, the same thing applies to franchises like Batman. He already exists for 83 years, and spends a lot of time cycling through the same naughty gallery. Over the years, some creators sometimes managed to add new criminals to the mixture, but this is a rare event.
It might have something to do with Batman, O.G. The enemy managed to uncover various aspects of its character. Historically, criminals from certain stories attract Batman with a typical style and can be recognized. A joker story? psychological thriller. Cat woman? Noir. Penguin? The story of rice fields? Horror. puzzler? Mystery.
Idiots like me, who value the cleanliness of the figurative of all, can argue with the film, whose behavior and inspiration is set for reeves simultaneously jokerization, and Banefi, and Ra's Al Gulicate.
Let me be clear: Most film observers don't care about keeping Batman's criminals still adjust their historical essence - to them, it will feel like I groaned about my pumps touching my mashed potatoes. But the reality is difficult to get beads on Dano's character interpretation, even if the mask dies. It may be intentional, but it's not too satisfying.
This is BATMAN BACK-TO-BASICS
Reeves did not show interest to offer us Singular Synematic Batman, Discrete, and clear. Instead, what he achieves is something that is visible and feels like the story of Batman that you can take at the comic bookstore today, which is something developed by the previous Batman film. .
Or, more specifically, a Multi-Issue Batman Story Arc, because it runs almost three hours giving a movie that is clearly not bound, a disjointed storytelling. The first hour introduced so many characters when various film plotlines began to become complicated, they did not cut each other so deftly by nodding with each other. The great revelation of this story is not permissible to last a long time before reversing or shortened briefly, so they take off without much impact. The relationship between characters only get worse when they happen, it becomes clear.
Along the way, fans served: Wright's Jim Gordon did his narrative assignment as an exposition officer, reading the Riddler instructions to Batman hard like a kindergarten teacher. Kravitz Catwoman teases and fight and must refrain from choosing violence. Penguin Pharrell is ... basically Robert de Niro Al Capone, actually.
The designer of the production of Gotham James Chinlund is full of Gothic Capital-G elements, but even though many supporters fly into the architecture of the city, it feels alive and functional, unlike Gotham Burton and Schumacher, who never stop. Film sets designed with difficulty.
Batman Robert Pattinson puts emotions into emotions
But it is Pattinson who made the film him. It shouldn't be surprising that he might worry - he made his bone in the Twilight franchise, where he spent most of his time shining and gloomy. But since then, he made a series of brave choices in strange films; On paper, the appointment of bats may seem like a step back.
But Bruce / Batman Pattinson with my chemical romance haircut is the spirit of investigating, injured, haunted. Black makeup he wore his eyelids before wearing a mask felt less like a choice of clothes and more like an extension of the most Truest, mostly emo. Jawline Pattinson is sharp enough to cut Manchego, and Batman's costume iteration is designed to highlight the facts - in close-up, it looks like a portrayal made with love.
As the tenth actor to wear Batman costumes in the film (yes, I counted two dudes who did the '40s of the film series), he dealt with the limit of signature roles - the way it made facial expressions. Taking the apporter of access to - proudly there was a later scene in the film that told Batman to appear indifferent to the person he was talking to, but to record this for all of us among the audience really he was driving out. Close-up, Pattinson's eyes turned on, his mouth muled occasionally. He sells moments, and others like it.
As a result of this expressive vulnerability, Batman Pattinson is unique in participating in ARC narration and emotionally clear throughout the film. For example, where Batman Christian Bale jumped to "swear to me", Pattinson began the film by whispering every saying: The Asmr Crusader. But his anger subsided because there were several revelations about Gotham and his family's bond; He began to question himself and his method. When credit roll, he is not Batman who is the same as him when the film starts - his motivation has changed, and Pattinson ensures we see that changing each frame. He held himself differently. He is more focused, more confident. He is an adult.
Can all this happen in a shorter time? Is everyone from the 175-minute film justifying his existence? If only 20 minutes are shorter, can some of the complex plotlines that do not need to be avoided? This is a valid question that I began to wrestle immediately after the light was on.
But when Matt Reeves, 'Batman couldn't say in front of me, I didn't see my phone, didn't think of the passage of time. No, this film is not a Nlanesque game, it also doesn't work out of the shadows of the length of the previous films to define Batman for a new generation. And that is right; There seems to be no interest to do it.
What it does, is quite effective, is telling the story of a solid Batman, with the most congrontential Batman and vulnerable to Grace The Big Screen. And that, at least, new.
