A lega-sequel throwback engineered for maximum fun. Plus it’s just nice to see Tom Cruise return to his favorite genre: Tom Cruise Is The Best __________ In The World. (Fighter Pilot/Race Car Driver/Pool Player/Bartender/Etc.)
When they released the teaser two years ago with the Nirvana/Zodiac/Se7en vibes it’s like, “Yeah but they’re not really gonna do that, right?” But they really did that and I love that Reeves fully commits. For long stretches I thought, “I guess this is the best Batman movie ever and it’s not really even a question?” By the end, I had a few minor quibbles but overall I really loved it.
Apologies to my 5 year old who will not be seeing this anymore this weekend (or for at least a couple more years).
