Leaving Las Vegas 7/10
It's prime Cage, and Elisabeth Shue is a dime, but Jesus it is grim. Matchstick Men 6/10 Saw the twist from a mile away. |

The Batman - 9.8/10
I'm going to have to think about if this ties The Dark Knight or is just below it on the Bat films for me. Loved it. First time I feel like the 'voice' of Batman, Catwoman, Penguin felt comic book accurate onscreen. The score is going to be stuck in my head forever. Zoe Kravitz is the best Catwoman. Robert Pattinson is the best Batman. The whole cast is good. There's no weak points. Loved finally having a noir, detective Batman onscreen. Cinematography and Production Design are fantastic. |

The Batman-9/10
Third act kept it from 10 and it’s just under TDK for me at least for now. This movie was Chinatown meets Seven. A sprawling mystery that unravels more and more of a mess that can’t be cleaned up, and a morderte leaving clues hoping he’s found only to turn it against the heroes. I thought Pattinson killed it. Very different Batman than shutting we’ve ever seen. He’s in damn near every scene and he’s suited and booted for the majority of the film. And he talks. A lot. Loved his voice. This is likely the most comic accurate Batman we’ve ever seen. Very Long Halloween/Hush vibes with how he carries himself. Rest of the cast was great. Farrell was great as Penguin and LJ will be happy to know he’s an integral character and set up to be bigger as this series progresses. Reeves knocked it out of the park. Easily, IMO, the second best Batman film behind only the dark knight. I’m gonna see it again with my brothers this weekend. Can’t wait. |

This will be where DC overtakes Marvel.

DC at the very least has figured out what it’s bread and butter is and that’s letting directora do their thing with their properties instead of trying to force feed a movie universe. Marvel hasn’t made anything with the vibe, feel or aesthetic of the Batman.

That’s real talk right there but Marvel won’t go dark dark. They’ll go dark grey, DC have already gone pitch black and back to SHAZAM!
DC could win this overall given the sheer strength of their properties. If somebody good gets a hold of Superman then Marvel will be fucked. I’d just hurl money at James Gunn like a cunt until he said yes. |

Marvel shot a load so big over the last couple of years that DC just absorbed it, analysed the DNA and stole the best bits like Twins.
Danny Devito just won’t leave me alone… |

JJ Abrams was rumored to want to do a Superman movie. I’m so for Henry giving another crack at it with a competent filmmaker this time.

The Batman- 8/10
I truly dont think this film will surpass the nolan films for joe movie goer but this is for the most part what i had been wanting to see on screen from batman for my entire life. a grounded noir detective film with action elements. the cast all hold their weight very well. Pattinson is obviously the stand out but everyone is very good. the score becomes good but starts very poor (more on that later.) the film doesnt rush through its plot. it takes its time in both narrative and in the pacing of the scenes which really works to its benefit. SPOILER: show all in all batman works best when he's not portrayed as a superhero and now there is a live action version that will let him explore the character from a much more grounded level and im very interested in going on that journey with them. |

only in the 1st act. it gets it shit together. it was a narrative choice to do it like it was done but it was the wrong one. it may start flat but by the end of the 3hr run time it rights its wrongs. still it was a major issue for me at the onset.

I thought the score was good to great. But I’ve also listened to its entire release.

Enigma 6.5/10
A mentally unstable code-breaker at Bletchley Park attempts to break the German submarines' new code before they attack a convoy heading towards England, while at the same time trying to figure out the disappearance of the woman who sent him off the deep end. A serviceable film; I was mostly watching for Saffron Burrows (top-drawer dame). Yesterday, I also tried to watch Under Suspicion and Raising Cain, but I didn't last more than 10 minutes with either before turning off.

Batman 9.5/10. I think when it comes out on streaming services, I'll watch the Dark Knight and The Batman back to back and see if it's better than the Dark Knight.
Just absolutely loved the movie. |

The Batman - 8/10
Was pretty enjoyable... for as long as it was it kept me engaged and interested throughout.... want to watch it again, but then after that not sure about it's "rewatchability factor"... think Dark Knight Trilogy still edges it out there... |

I was ok with it.... wasn't like I was going to be disappointed if he was in it less or anything.... but was not disappointed by him being in it as much as he was either....

I thought he was a scene stealer. particularly when he’s being a smart ass to Gordon and Batman. Also loved Gordon. Fuck it I loved everyone.

Turning Red: 3 and 1/4 stars out of 4.
OK, I'm clearly not the target demo for this film but there are enough elements that resonate. It loses a bit of luster since we've seen this kind of story and lesson before in other films. Hell, Pixar pretty much did it with Finding Nemo. The catch is it's done in a fun way that lets it stand on its own. There are some legit funny moments in this and it's good to see Pixar continue with these kinds of small scale stories. The side characters are great, especially the circle of friends of the lead. There's at least one of those kinds of people in everyone's group. I don't think it needed the climax that it had but it's fine. It still doesn't crack the top five as far as Pixar films go but worth a watch. |

The only character I didn't really buy into was Falcone. He just didn't carry that air about hi that he was Gotham's most dangerous crime boss. Felt more like Tony Soprano while on vacation in Florida.

Turning Red - 7/10
Was alright. Was PrettyCool to see a film set in Toronto and really embracing it rather than the usual "filmed in Toronto but being presented as another city even when I recognize places" that is common in live action movies..... Nice @ being set in the past just so they could still call it Skydome..... |

Wasn't as bad as I was expecting, or maybe since my expectations were super low I didn't mind as much. Mega 90s kids movie vibes. |

Took me a while to realize you weren't talking about Hamato Yoshi. I've done extensive work to try to erase as much as I can about that film from my memory.
