The beginning is incredible! But…
I found Pattinson’s gothish Batman intriguing but wished the plot was handled differently. The story could have used some work also, but I did like the angle of the son who was handling things in his own way, different than his father, and working through the legacy issues of his father and family. Compliments to the cinematography and mood!
With the dark world of Gotham City, what I usually enjoy in a Batman movie…
Tilda Swinton is a rare and odd creature, who can pull off unusual characters (one of the reasons I love her). She is one of the few actors, I could watch wander and follow her intellectual curiosities through South America. This movie is definitely her offbeat energy.
What intrigued me in the first half, is a study of sound and contrasts. I had more of a jump scare reaction in this than in many horror films! However, the second…
I’ll be coming back to add my review.
For now I’ll say that this is Jane Campion’s best film and her masterpiece, a word I don’t use very often.
