I thought it was a 7/10 for plot, acting and humor, but will give it a 6/10 for the abysmal CGI.
I was pleasantly surprised as traditionally, DC movies haven’t performed all that well so my expectations were a little low, but it seems like they’re starting to slowly get a little better as marvel movies start to get a little worse.
There are definitely areas they could have improved upon, of course, firstly, the CGI was just so bad, like the scorpion King levels of bad in some places! The script could have been tightened up a little bit better. It was as if I had to make the jump between a couple of scenes based on my experience with other movies. For instance, when he was talking to his dad in prison, and he quickly transitioned to standing outside of his old house, I thought it was a flashback, or an out-of-body experience or something, but no, he was physically there, seamlessly handed off the phone call from his cell phone to his suit, and it took me a second to figure out what happened. Just a lot of little stuff like that took me out of the movie and forced me to figure out what was happening and re-engage.
This is a very valid review. I forgave all of that stuff because of how well they paid tribute to 1989 Batman by Tim Burton. It was a very nostalgia filled experience for me.
There was a lot of action, some good humor, and even a little heart. You have to forgive some things (like the CGI and a few flow issues with the plot), but it was an enjoyable watch and I’d recommend it if you like the superhero genre.
I think Keaton’s Batman is, maybe, the best of the movie. But I don’t know if it’s worth going to the cinema only for that. You could wait until it is available in HBO max.

Still, happy to have seen it!

Do you think it is worth seeing just for that? I wasn’t planning to go, but maybe for Keaton?
