Review:

Finally, a Batman movie that isn't a joke.

I've watched all the past Batman movies religiously, but always have the same complaint. They either forget the iconic Batman feel and characters, or they make a absolute joke out of it. This movie had a wonderful mix of Batman lore and a new age feel that didn't make me cringe.

Robert Pattinson was a wonderful Batman in my opinion. Although there was some skepticism when they first announced he would play the Winged Wonder, he really did pull it off. As for his Bruce Wayne, it wasn't the greatest, but also not the worst I've seen. Lucky for us, he's in the bat costume most the movie, so that fixes that.

The cinematics were glorious. I'm a sucker for a good car chase and things blowing up, just ask my husband. I was giddy with excitement and could hardly sit still toward the end. I don't know how anyone could sit through a movie that tickles my fancy. Its impossible, lol.

I can't really complain about The Batman movie and I hope we see more of Robert Pattinson in this roll.
