The Batman by Matt Reeves
T/FB: 2022 movie #90. I was skeptical but Pattison does a good Batman and a broody Bruce Wayne. He fights crime (villains such as The Penguin and The Riddler) with Catwoman (Kravitz) in the always hell-hole known as Gotham. A bit long at 3 hours, but a good movie.
A serial killer with a conspiracy theory is a Batman fan.
1/4 (Bad).
It's Batman for David Fincher fans: joyless, monotonous, pretentious, and brutally dark. It does nothing to entertain the audience, or to give us any reason to care about the characters or story. And Batman makes so little effort to catch or stop the villain, he might as well not be in the movie at all. He's just there as some sort of walking metaphor, not as a character who has any agency in the story.

Giant monster smash.
4/4 (Great).
I enjoyed this a lot more than I did when it first came out. Part of that is probably due to the handheld photography working on a small screen (and being awful in the theater). But mostly I think it's going in without the baggage from J.J. Abrams' BS ad campaign.

It's a western! It might be called war but it's a Western. Replace the apes with Indians and the story has all the tropes of westerns, individual seeking revenge, individual trying to destroy a threat, miscellaneous adoption of enemy children, heroic deaths, final escape over the hills (or sand in this case). I enjoyed it but also found it rather depressing.
