#TheBatman - Розваги
THANK YOU if you watched this whole thing. These are my first reactions- almost like a mini podcast. I'm extra passionate about Batman talk and I'd love to dive deeper into this movie after seeing it a few times.
Please do that would be awesome I wanna hear your takes on the 3rd act because to me I thought it didn't really fit the tone of the 1st and 2nd act with the numerous Riddlers on the arena rafters
I'm with ya for any deep down Batman dives, brother. Best Superhero ever created with such a deep history. Let's go!!
Anytime jake!!!
Did you notice any inspiration from Rocksteady's Arkham series? Especially Arkham Knight.
NO JAKE... DO NOT lock batman in Arkham asylum for the next movie. no no no. we need a second movie to build up more of batman rogues gallery. and than after those rogues are in Arkham.. at the end of the movie joker said to riddler "Gotham loves a comeback story" so the third movie you lock batman in there with Arkham asylum and u market it as Riddlers comeback story when in reality its joker behind it all
the beginning monologue about fear and how criminals get scared when they see the symbol in the sky was soo good, and the thumping of his footsteps while in the cowl makes the tension even better, really loved the direction they went for in this movie
that whole sequence alone was worth the price of admission for me. Perfecto
Really reminded me of Rorschach's monologue at the beginning of Watchmen
@@blaarfengaar I thought I was the only one who understood that once I saw that batman monologue at the cinemas, it reminded me of rorshachs journal monologue indeed!
Oh yeah. That whole sequence really cemented this as being inspired by classic noir films
When they were all looking at dark doorways lol. It’s just perfect man. Made me cry a little. Especially when contrasted with the ending.
i loved the "Ive got you on assault of 2 officers" and Batman going "You've got me on 3 " It was so badass. As a huge Batman nerd I adored this film.
the line was
"we have you on assaulting an officer!"
"you have me on assaulting three."
cold as fuck though
bruh get the quote right 😭
So true
@@clayrivera2710 LMAO fax 🗣️
dude the CINEMATOGRAPHY in this movie was godly. They literally couldn't have done it better
gorgeous movie. incredibly well made in terms of sound and visuals. my goodness
Same dude from dune
@@EcopiuM and rogue one 😩
@@chriskarl3707 really liked the cinematography in rouge one however the film itself not so much
my favorite scene was the dark elevator scene with the henchman, so good
The score for this movie has been stuck in my head all day. You make great points on the sounds of his suit. He really had a weight to him. Great stuff.
Man the score is engraved in My head . It was amazing
Yoo me too
@@christianmarmol3230 I'm glad we all agree lol
@@natethegreatreviews music and movie just fucking epic!
Nirvana's- 'Something In The Way' did something to me.
This movie was 85% Batman. That's it's own accomplishment right there
SO MUCH BATMAN onscreen. It was great
Right!?! Most of the other films becomes more about the villain than actual Batman and he was in the batsuit most of the film. It was all detective work. This movie was an A++ for me.
@@MisterSinister47 exactly, they didn't underuse the suit at all , Pattison was mostly in the suit or had a mask covering his face while investigating as Bruce.
Yess! That was something I just did not expect. It was the most onscreen Batman and probably the most Batman action on any movie I've ever seen!
Believe it or not I heard some people complaining that there wasn't enough Bruce Wayne after the movie
I really love the way they portrayed how Batman uses fear as a tool in the movie especially when the theme starts playing.
His introduction at the start of the movie was amazing!
Dun. Dun dun dun. Dun. Dun dun dun. Dun
The beginning with all the crimes and the shadows was *chefs kiss*
@@NTWoo95 hhahahha ikr
Bad take
I think what makes this movie work for me was Bruce's arc of choosing hope over revenge. Initially, he is so focused on punishing criminals that the people of Gotham fear and hate him. However, the Riddler case forces him to think about how his actions only add to the darkness in Gotham. There are even little moments like him empathizing with, and saving, the deceased-mayor's son and opening up to Alfred.
This all leads to my favorite moment in the movie: Batman holding out his hand to the Gotham citizens and being a guiding light outside the destroyed arena. The fact that the boy was the first to take his hand made it even better.
Yeah, I liked that he was more of a hated anti hero here. He was basically seen as one of the criminals at the beginning. It sets up a lot of potential for him to grow over the sequels, and it's very interesting to see such a young batman
This is what I loved and gives me hope we’ll see a maturation process. It was a good movie and he was good as a young Batman but I couldn’t deal with multiple movies of Batman the emo angst years
I agree it’s good character development for future movies hopefully
The batmobile revving up made damn chills crawl up and down my spine, it was so damn impactful
It sounded like a dragon screeching, very intimidating
It looked and sounded like it came straight out of hell and oh my god
I’ve watched The Batman twice now…and I enjoyed it more the second time.
The one negative I’ve seen is that there isn’t a solid distinction between Bruce and Batman…but I feel this was intentional.
Very early on in the film he makes it clear he doesn’t care about his persona as Bruce or Wayne Enterprise, he’s fully invested in being the Bat and making a change. He doesn’t know how to shut it off,
He hasn’t learned that the Bruce persona is actually needed.
I remember whispering to my friend an hour in saying “this is the first time we’ve actually seen Bruce.”
You see him without the cowl but he’s almost always doing Batman things,
The city felt so alive. The only other movie that came close to this for me is Watchmen.
It was definitely intentional. During an interview with Fandango, Pattinson flat out said that he hasn't learned to distinguish Bruce and Batman yet and that he wants to be Batman all the time, so you're pretty spot-on.
Interesting I couldn’t even finish watchmen. However I did enjoy this movie but I guess I am not praising it as much as some people
Yeah, I think that was by design. There's a key scene near the end, where we're teased with the idea that Riddler has worked out Batman's secret identity, only to realize that he hasn't.
Except... then he goes on to praise Batman's mask (such a great mask) and recognize that Batman is his real face. Almost as though he's saying that Batman has, indeed, killed Bruce Wayne, by simple dint of supplanting his identity. And that delights the Riddler.
What makes this interesting is that, but for Riddler almost killing Alfred, this would have been basically true. It was almost losing Alfred, plus finding some kind of connection to Selina, that brings Bruce back. Batman buried Bruce so that he would never have to feel loss again. But when he realizes how much Alfred still matters to him, he realizes that Bruce is still in there. There's still a person who cares inside the monster. And that's the part of him that has something to live for, something to fight for beyond vengeance. That's when he starts the new path that ends with him saving people from the flood.
Remember, at the beginning scene, he has no interest in the mugging victim. He doesn't even want to look at the guy. He just wanted to hurt people. It isn't till the end that he's seeking out people to rescue. And that moment when he's putting the mayor's orphaned kid on the stretcher, and the kid doesn't want to let go of him, that's probably the first positive emotion he's gotten out of his mission. If Riddler was Batman's shadow mirror, that kid was a different kind of mirror.
everything is intentional at this level
Saw it tonight thought it was incredible, people complaining about the slow moments are the reason why films have become such dumb action fests in recent years, I thought it nailed Batman and the action was amazing, heard a lot of people complain about how Bruce Wayne didn’t act like a playboy fun loving guy infront of the public and media like in the comics however I’d say that was intentional because the film depicts a younger Batman who is more focused on vengeance and maybe isn’t as savvy and hasn’t realised the benefits of having a media on side, which I’m sure is something they’ll explore if this gets a sequel
Exactly. This is still a relatively new Batman and as a result he hasn't become the "millionaire playboy philanthropist" we know in most of the comics or cartoons yet.
@@SolidSnake240 exactly he’s more driven to solve crimes in this one but I’m sure they’ll expand on his character as we see in the end he realises he needs to be more than just a vigilante
Exactly. I appreciate that it didn’t go the Marvel way of action-jokes-action-jokes
I heard rumors there is gonna be a Trilogy of these movies
Exactly! Great comment/thoughts!
Definitely the Batman movie we deserved, loved it
feels good. nice to have a win
This had to be the most refreshing superhero movie in a long while. It was a complete visual spectacle brimming with that aesthetically pleasing gothic noir atmosphere and it felt so appropriate for a Batman story. I'm with you on the Joker too. People say Batman has the best rogues gallery, yet they just can't go without using the Joker in every major Batman story at some point. I personally want them to use the idea for Affleck's Batman and use Deathstroke as the main antagonist eventually.
Doing another joker is a dead end now that we had joaquin phoenix's jaw dropping potrayal and heath ledger. Batman vs Deathstroke would be an ideal move away from demented villains into a more personal story of a fight for survival.
@@rhuiden4086 It would be cool if Joaquin Phoenix would play a final version of his Joker in this universe though
@@DuSeun true
My understanding is they're looking at Mr. Freeze. I'm not sure how that could be pulled off in this version of Gotham. It's a delicate balance they struck, right on the knife's edge between grounded and fantastical. If they end up with a guy who has to go around in a refrigerated suit, they'd tip the scales into fantasy land. Either they'll have to reinvent the character to just be a revenge-driven widower with some kind of vaguely science-based plot, or they'd have to just embrace the pulp sci-fi aspects of Batman lore.
Though I can see Mr. Freeze as a Walter White type who leaves his victims frozen in baths of liquid nitrogen. Then again, following the trail of another serial killer getting revenge against powerful men might not be the best follow-up. Some variety would be preferable, I think. So maybe not Mr. Freeze at all.
@@rottensquid With Falcone gone, I think Penguin will take over and become a more important villain. Also I'm hoping for realistic versions of Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, but there's no indication that it will happen
The monologues was like reading the comics, it was brilliant. It really felt like I was balls deep in a Batman graphic novel.
My favorite touch was how heavy his footsteps always sound. It’s like thunder approaching from the distance that just gets louder the closer he gets. That first bit with him walking out of the dark from the tunnel gave me big Donny Donnowitz from Inglorious Bastards vibes. This film was amazing.
Didn’t know how to feel about the joker… then I heard Matt reeve’s justification and explanation for the scene and got so excited for him directing again because that man not only has a vision, but he has RESTRAINT. He tested the film without the joker scene and he said it just didn’t drive home the point he was establishing in the following shot that there will ALWAYS be trouble and evil forming in Gotham.
it is so, so so good. you know what they nailed for me more than anything? the relationship batman has with Catwoman. It's so accurate. I also really like that batman is using his gadgets more than in any other movie. and it isn't just a grapnel gun. he'll zap someone, throw a flare, he's using a torch etc.
Blacklight, wing suit, sticky bomb, batarang knife, so many! Love it
I have so many thoughts about this movie, but to keep it short I will say... I want a sequel to this movie so bad. Immediately. Normally with movies I am not in a rush for a sequel, I just want them to stand on their own. But with this movie, they build so many compelling characters and and the world, that I just want to see more. This might be my favorite superhero movie. Even though it's not very superheroey. That is all. love it. want more. 4k blu ray come out already please.
This was precisely why it was so damn good though! Because it wasn’t superheroey! It was so grounded in reality everything felt so real and plausible. We need more superhero movies like this. Not the typical marvel fantastical super power multiverse shit
@@theendboss4849 Batman is the ideal hero for making movies and retellings. Because the greatness isn’t tied to a specific story. It’s the characters. There are so many great characters in Batman, and just having them interact is gold. You can love this Batman. Or the Nolan Batman. Snyder Batman. Arkham Batman. They are all great. And they all tell different stories.
But I truly think this one nailed the feel of Batman. It’s dark. He’s actually scary. He’s smart. He interacts well with other characters. Has great chemistry with Catwoman. It really is ideal in my opinion. I love it.
Exactly! To be completely honest, at some point in the movie I got myself thinking "this is what I was hoping the Gotham series to achieve". Don't get me wrong, Gotham has a very special place in my heart, but every time I see an episode, with some exceptions, I get myself disappointed for wanting so bad to take the villains and plot itself more seriously but I just can't. The Riddler is a good example on that. And although I'm happy with got this movie, I couldn't help but feel the pace of character development of a tv series and I absolutely loved it
Man that batmobile chase seen was absolute genius. The shots they gave us during that scene, the score, everything was perfect. I felt my seat shaking the whole time. Thank you 👏🏽
I watched it in dbox where the seats. Actually shook so mine literallly shook 😂😂
When he shows up the first time, and his footsteps sound like spurs cut in with his theme music for this movie, my lord. Chills. Pattinson is fantastic as both Batman and Bruce. And the casting for the rogues, exquisite.
Ya man, his intro was godly
I loved everything about it. Every single scene looked like a comic book strip. Batman was also done so intimidatingly, and I love that. My literal only problem was how edgy and similar to Batman he acted whenever he was just being 'Bruce.' The suit also looks fucking amazing, there are multiple scenes where cops are trying to talk to him and he just ignores them completely, and the cops just feel intimidated. Gotham just looked and felt like a horrible place to live and was overrun with crime, which made Catwoman wanting to live someplace else felt so much more real. Thats why Batman is my favorite Super Hero. Not the one many want, but the one we need.
He probably just hasn't learned the benefits of putting on a "Bruce" persona yet, and is just acting like his natural self. They always say that Batman is the real man, and "Bruce" is the mask, anyway.
@@N313GrayFox so true 👍 I believe he had to learn to act like Bruce and he wasn't comfortable in that role until he saw he could use it to benefit his real persona. Also, people are comparing him to Bale who already has Lucious Fox to help/advise him in addition to Alfred. I kinda wish the car chase was not in the trailer though.
This movie made me so emotional Pattinson was phenomenal, Farrell was amazing, and Dano was terrifying. 10/10 my favorite batman movie and it's now tied with Logan for my favorite comic book movie ever made.
I’m watching the film for a third time in IMAX haha, it’s getting better
getting video shot ideas im guessing or its just that good lol
I’m gonna go see it again in IMAX. It deserves it
The movie was amazing, the Riddler/Joker scene just felt like it was tacked on, should've made it a post credits scene or something.
I like that they didn’t treat Joker like the most important guy in the universe for once.
They never said it was joker tho, he’s not even joker yet, just riddler talking to a random inmate who in years to come will become joker. The director said he’s not even doing joker for awhile
Pattinson did so well in this role loved the movie it reminded me so much of the Arkham games Especially the suit holy shit that suit was perfect and the Batmobile was also really cool seeing a new design and I actually loved the slower parts of the movie it just added so much to the atmosphere and theme
man i love arkham game
That intro with the shadows was craaaaazy.
Thank you! You're the only person I've seen mention the moment when he and the kid look at each other. One of my favorite moments of the movie.
I loved the fact they showed Alfred actively helping Bruce with the investigation process.
Definitely hinting at his SAS past
Saw it yesterday and man wt an experience. It was so different but had so much familiarity at the same time. I loved his presence. Some scenes genuinely scared me a lil bit. The batmobile chase scene has to be one of my favs ever.
This movie was like watching a graphic novel. I can't wait to see it again.
The set design and effects were perfect and reminded me a lot of 90s animated batman. They killed it. I do agree that the story wasn't stellar but a lot of the performances and side stories worked pretty well
Love the review. I agree! That one reveal you mentioned, I loved trying to see him, and that laugh, I'm excited.
Love how batman learned using fear and “vengeance” will only get him so far, and that he also needs to be a symbol of hope in the end.
Almost everything in this movie is perfect, especially that cinematography. The only thing I felt it lacked in was the dialogue and "nail biting moments". Stuff like the jokes Alfred and Bruce had in TDK and just that sense of tension such as when Batman interrogated Joker just weren't present. Hoping the next movie has a bit more of that.
Why do you want jokes
@@mikecastrataro "thumb" drive
@@moitbeans was that supposed to be funny
@@mikecastrataro yes, actually, and many of us found it funny. Humour is subjective, if you haven't caught onto that in life yet.
@@avriel6903 I’m not saying people didn’t find it funny I just didn’t think it was on purpose there were a few serious scenes that made me chuckle throughout this masterpiece I just feel like jokes are more a marvel thing while DC should just make dark thing slightly funny and not a straight up joke. This probably doesn’t make sense just got done work.
Man this movie was amazing. 10/10 for me. I watched it twice already might go back to the theaters to watch it a third time!
i was in love with the scenery and lighting. gotham looked so dark and old. it was so amazing to see. i'm in love with this movie and i'm ready for part 2
Just got home from seeing it and went to youtube to see if my favorite guy made a video about it. Loved seeing "1 minute ago". About the movie..UTTER MASTERPIECE. I'm more proud of being a Batman fan now than when I walked into the cinema.
The majority of the movie was filmed in my home city of Glasgow, Scotland. I actually got to see the filming of the ending -- the motorbikes leaving the Necropolis -- during my commute to work (Glasgows biggest cemetery). Glasgow has a lot of Gothic-revival and Victorian architecture which sits right alongside more modern buildings. It basically already is Gotham... without the massive skylines of course, they were all added in post. The Batgirl film is being shot right now in Glasgow city centre, I got to watch a lot of the shoots for that from my office.
Robby P is the last guy I'd have ever thought I would say is MY definitive live-action Batman back in 2008, but I think that's how I feel now after seeing it a few hours ago. It has some glaring flaws, but overall I think it was the most satisfied I've been with a DC film since The Dark Knight, and I already wanna watch it again. I didn't get chills like watching a Nolan film, but there were so many little cinematic moments that had me so mesmerized and immersed... like that shot of the bat in the cage. There was a sense of vision and artistry I don't think I've ever seen in a super hero film before this. This movie nailed Batman as a character, they didn't have to have the Riddler, or anyone recognizable. It could have just been some random serial killer and I'd have still been so invested in watching Batman finally be more Batman than I've ever seen before in a movie.
Robert has been doing and aging in the industry a LOT better than how he was portrayed in that godawful Twilight movies.
@@thecompanioncube4211 Are there any movies he's done that showcase this? I heard Tenet was a good one.
@@Bloodwing-zx9ri Tenet is a good example but The best example would be The Lighthouse
@@thecompanioncube4211 Wasn't that the movie that came out in black and white?
@@Bloodwing-zx9ri Yes you're correct
I loved this movie. This is my favorite live action Batman film. It felt like an actual Batman film to me. Best Gotham City ever.
9:46 did someone just die in elden ring?
CONGRATS. You are correct!
@@JakeBaldino Utilizing my Batman detective skills.
I couldn’t agree more with just about every point you made. I loved it.
They took a lot of Gotham from Liverpool (where I'm from and saw the film) and it was crazy to see it all on the big screen - the town hall and police department are iconic locations from Liverpool - St George's Hall and the Liver Buildings (people got videos of Pattinson up there at the time of filming)... SO cool to see it all, really got me even more excited. Great video dude!
Great video Jake. I saw it last night, amazing take on Batman. Love this channel.
I've been obsessed with this movie. Can't get it out of my head, especially the Batman theme.
This movie blew me away, It was everything I expected and so much more! This movie is so well crafted ranging from the cinematography, the music score, the tone, the script and character arcs and to the look and feel of Gotham, I get a real gothic feel to it similar to Tim Butons Batman and every scene is jam packed with so much detail, I loved everything about it, an absolute tribute to the Dark Knight, Im so excited to see where this goes
Liverpool was used for filming shots also, St George's Hall and the Liver building here in Liverpool was used, was a great film and the way they made Gotham feel was great
Hearing the first sounds of the Batmobile in theaters will be one of the most memorable movie theater experiences I've ever had. It was amazing.
I like that he’s struggling to balance being bruce and Batman. That growth is definitely going to be a big part of the sequels.
I would LOVE to see Matt Reeves tackling a Batman vs. The Court of Owls story. Idk if it might be too soon for that to happen given Patman is still a rookie in this context, but Matt as a director just seems perfect for it.
I was thinking the same thing. The Court of Owls would fit into this universe so perfectly. Maybe save The Joker for the 3rd movie of the trilogy.
I was actually thinking of Hush or Deathstroke for the rest of the trilogy but that works too
One of the greatest car chases I’ve ever seen too! Oh and I know it’s super particular but I loved the shot of the flooded diner with the floating coffee mug for some reason
It's a tradition of mine to see a movie and then wait to see your video on it. I don't have very many friends (not trying to sound depressing!) so it's nice to relate to someone that's seen the movies I enjoy also. Thanks again Jake!
I really like how emotional this depiction of Batman is. I think it’s the most emotional live action Batman we’ve gotten so far, to the point I actually enjoyed when the movie slowed down and allowed characters to talk.
Peacemaker showed up?? Did I miss that?!? When the hell did that happen??
Love when you gush about this stuff! I’ll be back for the second half after I watch it!
Great video Jake. You summed up pretty much everything I loved about the movie, I loved it. Found myself constantly nodding and agreeing with all of your points. Thanks!
Robert Pattinson’s performance and portrayal honestly reminded me a lot of Kevin Conroy. He’s now my favorite live action Batman. Also did anyone really not notice the setup for Hush for the sequel? I haven’t seen anyone online talk about that.
I was really hoping they didnt do Joker . As a comic book fan ive seen too much Joker the past few years. Id love to see Pyg or Hatter in this world
This movie is just so exciting to see how they're going to do the trilogy. This is a fresh and great start. Andy Serkis is now my favorite Alfred.
Awesome review! I love how you are just speaking off the top and not just going through a "script" it feels really genuine how much you liked this movie! Thanks bro. Keep it up
Fun fact, the Icebox lounge scenes in the batman were shot at the famous club in London, Printworks.
Also, the opening scene with the helicopter shining the spotlight on criminals seemed like a reference to the opening scene of the animated series
Been waiting for this video all day! Saw it Wednesday night at a fan even in IMAX. And holy shit, what a movie. No spoilers here, but I love that Pattinson isn’t a full blown Batman here. He’s still figuring it out. He gets beaten. But holy shit, to me he is The Batman. What a truly wonderful, and dark film. The three hour runtime breezes by.
right? it's pretty wild he gets knocked unconscious TWICE in the movie. Really cool portrayal
@@JakeBaldino TWICE! And I loved that they showed that. And can we talk about the fucking batmobile chase scene?! Wow.
@@JakeBaldino Is that a potential spoiler, haha, just curious? 😅
I'm glad that movie studios and video game studios finally understand we don't need an entire hour long origin story for super heroes, and just characters in general.
That’s probably only if there have been origin stories for them in previous movies. My 7 year old was pretty confused about who Spider-Man was just from watching homecoming. These movies work off the back of other works, expecting you to know certain details already.
My girlfriend, who didn’t know anything about Batman prior, went to watch the Batman and had no idea why Batman was Batman, and by the end of it, she didn’t really understand it either.
@@joker6558 tell her go watch batman rises then, majority know his origin story already
Thanks for the video, Jake! I just had hip surgery so I can't go out and see it right away but I'm looking forward to it! Thanks for separating the spoilers from the rest of the vid too. One more thanks, thank you for the deal on Vessi shoes through your main gig, Gameranx. Talk about a great sponsor! (in case you're wondering, I've never worked for them. I just get ripped off by sponsors from creators that act like they use them but don't actually more often than not so I give credit where it's due... literally the one time lmao)
Great video!
Thanks for the warning of spoilers!
You really like your job
Hey, I just have a quick question: What do you think about Edward Elliott (The reporter who had information on Martha Wayne) being Thomas Elliott’s Father (Hush). Making Hush a viable villain for a sequel perhaps
and the HUSH! written over the screen in Riddlers video when he outed the Wayne family's apparent "corruption"... was thinking basically what you are myself ;)
I feel like scarecrow as a villain would work so well with this interpretation of batman. The conflict between them and how they rely on fear would be great to see in a sequel.
Yesssss. Like really do scarecrow WELL. Like how they did in the first Arkham games. They did the scarecrow so poorly in the previous movies in my opinion but this one could do such a good job and it really fits the vibe and the world.
9:59 man that was probably my favorite warning experience so far.
The dude behind you was really taking my attention at the perfect moment. I kinda 'stopped' paying too much attention to your words and when you started waving your arms saying "HEY, SPOILERS" it felt like it was directly aimed at me 😂. You woke me up man job well done haha.
And I feel like 2-part reviews are more underrated than they should be. It's always good to hear spoiler free thoughts that say more than just "Yes it was a nice movie." Great vid! (Atleast the first half for me lol)
Unfortunately that's not Falcon, sorry haha
@@JakeBaldino BRO I- I mean Falcon who?? I didn't assumed anything incorrect -edits-
*You can't prove anything*
0:13 it's the head banging for me 😭🤣
Locking Batman in Arkham or having him involved with something in Arkham with Hugo Strange as the main villain would be pretty awesome.
I had the same breakdown of the film. I thoroughly enjoyed and plan on watching again. The film was a solid 8 out of 10. The portrayal of Batman by Robert Patinson is my favorite and a 10 out 10. He was mysteriously haunting! It left me wanting more.
I was very surprised by Robert Pattinson's performance. He's perfect as a realistic, vengeful batman. Probably my favorite Batman yet (yes I said it)
Loved the footsteps. Such a small detail but it was so badass
Please make another! I could talk about Batman for forever as well lol ! Great vid
This movie was freaking amazing!!! Although I’m with you on the whole “joker” thing, but I don’t think Matt will let us down!
This movie was amazing... the ones who didn't like it, I felt that they all went in expecting it an action movie, but it was more of thriller!!!
I love that face at 15:45, I can't stop replaying it HAHA! I watched the whole thing, I always love hearing your thoughts. So funny seeing Andrew failing at Elden Ring in the background and his reactions XD
Saw the film yesterday, I'm in love! Matt Reeves is such an excellent filmmaker, I love his Apes films, and I feel like his CV is very appropriate. He's also looking a lot like Jimbo Gordon, so that also helps.
The score by Mike Giacchino was probably one of his best, I've had it stuck in my head since yesterday. Really captures the spirit of Batman, Gotham, and each of the characters with their themes.
The Batmobile chase was incredible, it had a purpose and there was real emotion to it. It didn't feel like a car chase, it felt like the Batmobile was an extension of Batman's being, whilst the Maserati was Penguin with it's jerky and chaotic movements, so it was Batman vs Penguin. I also felt the same about the rev he gave, telling Penguin to run.
And that opening, with the shadows and how we expect Batman to show up, and seeing the impact Batman has on criminals, it really showed that he has become a symbol of fear. He felt less like a man, and more like a force of nature, with the way he carried himself and moved.
Yeah man, this was incredible, may well be a 10/10 from me!
9:22 ...great point host guy, forgot about that scene but I recall first seeing that and thinking it was a great detective batman type scene
It was super good. The first 3/4 was incredible. The last 30 min felt like a different movie. It's like they got a new director who kept wanting to add "just one more thing"
Yeah, it felt the same to me.
Disagree, pacing was great and the last 30 minutes was absolutely necessary because it showed Batman's maturing from Vengeance into Hope
Spoiler talk:
I did sort of roll my eyes at the joker cameo as a gut reaction, but after hearing what Matt Reeves had to say about it in an interview, I'm a lot cooler with it. Basically he was saying that it doesn't necessarily mean the joker is coming in the next movie or anything. The point of the scene was to drive home the fact that Gotham is basically doomed, and there's always gonna be something lurking around the corner, even after batman beats the current bad guy.
This clears up a lot of my bad take on that scene. I didn’t want another movie to rush into the Joker.
@@pacowacko5539 Same. I love the Joker, but the other villains haven't been explored enough in the past movies
Probably gonna have more hints of him in the next one. But hey if he does the villain as great as he did the riddler I dont mind.
6:00 dude just sat down and started playing, love it
I really want to see him do scarecrow. I feel like it’s be terrifying
I saw it last night and really enjoyed the detective/noir focus. The cinematography was also awesome, the scene revealing the batmobile I found exceptional
Love your thoughts on it. Felt like Matt reeves has a really deep understanding of what makes Batman Batman and did really well to establish this is a 100% different Batman but still felt comfortably familiar. Plus all of Batman’s quips felt straight out of the Justice league animated show lol “I’ve got you for assault on 2 of my officers” “no you’ve got me for 3” amazing writing.
I had to give a like and a comment but I’m saving myself from any spoilers I’ve only watched one trailer for the Batman. Keep up the great work man!
I love how this is an origin story without doing an origin story. I love the way this film is shot and edited. I loved this story and the arcs of all the main cast. And the sound design? Sigh. I loved....this. Movie.
I always had faith that Pattinson would be great. Perfect Batman voice
I love that he didn't overdo the voice
more videos on batman! haha
my theater was yelling during the car reveal scene. like the revving and ''playing chicken" and all that-so fun.
I think I got to enjoy that scene more because I didn't watch the trailers.
Thanks Jake, Sammy and I love your videos. You are our friend. Thanks for being our friend. Much love. Michael & Sammy xx
damn that peacemaker cameo at the end tho
Holy shit didnt know you had a channel till now thank God you do
I always love listening to your diatribes about games and movies. Idk if it's because I'm like 95% aligned with you when it comes to critique and opinions about this stuff that I love; or if it's your quirky, self--aware, low-key, but genuine, demeanor you have. It's like I'm having a conversation with a long-time friend about all my favorite things. Your a good dude, Jake. Long live this channel and long live Gameranx.
I know someone somewhere is making a video called Jake Baldino GETS IT ! haha
Great video as always man
Saw this movie on opening night (03/04) at an 8pm showing and absolutely loved it. Hell, I was on-board and all-in since the DC Fandome of last year after seeing the teaser they showed. The way Dir. Matt Reeves spoke about the movie with passion & his vision for Batman & Gotham as a character had me further invested and confident this movie could pull that classic, graphic novel feel off, and after watching it, I feel like they have succeeded in that goal in so many ways and more. What’s even crazier is that I feel like they still have so much more potential to explore, expand, and grow this universe and story even further. This film I feel, definitely pulled inspiration from “Zero Year”, “The Long Halloween”, “Catwoman: When In Rome” & some “Year One” graphic novels and I was all for it.
Just saw it, i had high expectations and it still blew me away, what a movie!
One of the things that stood out to me as well was when he just revved up the car - i took it the same way as you like a quick "i double dare you mofker" and it felt so badass!
Also i am beyond happy they decided to make it it's own thing and not jam it into the dceu, and if they keep it on this level we're in for a great trilogy (hopefully) and i can't wait for what's next!
Is that FALCON in the background!? lol Great video btw
i just want 100000 screenshots from this movie as posters on my walls
So hyped for this movie that I ended up pre-ordering my first hot toy purchase in my life of Pattinson's Batman on Sideshow today. LOL! Great review Jake!
Just got back from a screening and oh boy did I enjoy it! That cinematography at some points is canvas worthy 😍
Just watched this movie on HBO! Wow what a film. I loved the subtle parts, as well of what you said. The footsteps/boot shots and all the cool motorcycle scenes we’re awesome 👏
I love your ramblin man, i felt the same way man. THIS WAS SO BATMAN. I dont read the comics, but i have played the games and just in general followed a lot of batman goodnes. Im really happy to hear you liked the movie as much as i did. Keep up the great content.
You could make a whole video of squel ideas
Can't wait to go see this. This looks like the Batman I've been wanting to see on the big screen forever.
