Okay, lets start with expectations going into this film. I thought it was going to be rated R bc all the promo posters and how... sexual they were. Like every shoot robert and zoe had it made it seem like a way more romantic movie than it was. Also in the trailers they even highlighted the very little romantic scenes they had. Then the PG-13 rating came out. I also going into it expected it to be not that amazing. The trailers looked great and I was genuinly exited but I was just expecting it to kinda be another flop DC movie. IT WAS NOT. I walked into my theater and it was sold out. Like jam packed with people. The second the soundtrack started playing I just had a good feeling about this movie. Like I was excited to see what was gonna happen. I think the way they started the movie was perfect. They set it up with the uncertainty of who was watching the family and why, then they set up the political tensions, and finally the murder itself that sets the plot rolling. Batmans monolouge was incredibe. Along with him talking the cinematography in the haloween scene is perfect. Gotham city just looks so real in this movie. like everything is so big if that makes sence. I love how dark and slightly blurry everything is too. It looks dirty and dingy but in places it feels clean and real. I think the joker also did a good job at showing gotham but not nearly on the scale that the batman did. I cant get over the cinematography in this movie its just so good. I mean its perfect for the aestetic of the film. Exept the part when batman flies that was not good lol. the go pro shot on his head was cool but just didnt fit and made me giggle. Okay the iceberg lounge. WHAT. Theres a lot of places in movies I wish I could go but partying in the iceberg lounge looks like so much fun. They also did an amazing job of showing just how huge that place is. The sets are incredible in this film aswell as the costimes. Just everything is so well done. Oswald is perfect. Like the guy who plays him did an amazing job. He just fits the part so well. When zoe kravitz first walked onto screen I was just in awe. She is so good for the role of the cat. Like shes stunning on top of it but she also does such a good job acting with her eyes like from the first scene you can just tell shes up to something. From the night club on the movie keeps you engaged but not over stimulated. Also lets talk about the soundtrack bc wow that was really good. I love that Batman has his own recodnizable theme and they did a great job not overusing it aswell. For a second in the movie I thoguht that Hanz Zimmer was the composer bc I heard in the backround of some of the pieces a clock ticking. Which if you remember my Mid tearm you know is one of his signature moves when it comes to composing soundtracks. I looked it up and it is not him but still it was a very good sountrack. At no points did I find the music too overpowering aswell. It all fit perfectly. Also nirvana being in the sound track just makes sence it really really fits the vibe. Back to cinematography theres this one scene where batman is in a dark hallway and its pitch back until guns start going off and thats the only source of light. Top favortie movie shots right there it was amazing. That shot combines with batmans theme fits absolutly perfect. I loved it. Getting more and more towards the end of the movie I kept thinking that it was the end. But still no complaints here I was glad it wanst over It was really really good. The casting for this movie was also perfect. Like everyone fits their roles so well. Overall I really really liked this movie I would for sure see it again. In fact I went to go see it again with abby and asha but during the middle of it the emergency lights went on right at the riddeler in the cafe scene and we all had to leave. Total bummer. Im gonna stop wrighting bc if I dont this review is going to be way too long. I reccomend to anyone who likes action movies or just movies at all. Its great 10/10 perfect score.
