What Did You Think of ‘The Batman’?

March 6, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” nabbed a $128 million opening this weekend. That’s a staggering amount of dough. It also garnered an A- CinemaScore and an excellent 8.6 on IMDB.

So, audiences loved “The Batman,” and so did many critics. A 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and 72 on Metacritic. I feel alone here. I thought it was a slog to get through. Not as imaginative as it thinks it is, nor as substantial. Reeves is a talented filmmaker, but this is just not a film that measures up to his talents.

I gather plenty of readers have gotten a chance to watch it this weekend. What did you think?
