Not sure why I decided to watch this most recent movie reboot of the titular Batman character since I’m not a big fan of DC comics or superhero movies in general. Think I was just bored… a state of affairs the movie did little to alleviate. While there’s no problem with the various actors (beside Pattinson looking a bit too much like a punk rock frontman with all that eyeliner maybe), the pacing is pretty damn slow and it ends up feeling more like an endless miniseries than a movie.
The Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie on the other hand has been on my ‘to watch’ list for some time now, ever since I found out the original release had been heavily modified by Joss Whedon (which handily explained the Avengers resemblance). Anyway, while this extended version no longer feels like a poor knockoff of that movie, I still wouldn’t go out of my way to call it worth watching unless you’re already a fan of the material. Basically it’s a pretty standard superhero movie through and through that you’ll probably like if you can’t get enough of that genre.
