It's mighty fantastic. I love the soundtrack - by Hans Zimmer, naturally - and I love the grittier take on an "action hero" story. Not quite as dark as the later The Batman, but that one sucked. I fell asleep.
I strongly recommend watching them with high quality speakers! Volume UP!!!
An acquaintance of mine who was a movie/filmography major said to me some years ago, regarding Nolan's trilogy, "I'm sorry [my real name] but this is a piece of shit." I still don't know what he meant.
I actually enjoyed the Pattinson Batman movie. It was a callback to the Detective Comics origins. Hollywood tends to focus on the action, but Batman in the comics is first and foremost a detective. So the Battinson movie was focused on that. And for most of the movie, he was basically just a dude in a hoodie with a bike, riding around town looking for clues. The Riddler was a great villain for that kind of movie, and doing it any other way would have reduced Riddler’s entire character to just another punching bag.
It’s sooo good
Thanks for explaining that! Maybe I just wasn't well enough informed before watching the movie. 😊
Interesting. I did find the soundtracks to be cinematic while watching the movies, but there was nothing iconic about it, not even a simple hum I could remember afterwards. I could always recall parts of the music for other Nolan's films I've watched, but the entire trilogy seems to be an exception for some reason.
I think I know what you mean. And it's funny you say "hum", because that kind of describes the soundtrack. It's mostly quietly, slowly moving deep string harmonies, sort of like a hum, so it's totally understandable that nothing of it really stands out. I think it's mostly for creating atmosphere.
