The Batman - Movie Review

 

Split Reviews

My children said they could not finish this movie. Others said it was one of the best Batman movies. So I of course had to watch it...free on HBOMax. Robert Patinson was definitely a reason I was skeptical. Surprisingly, he did make a decent young Batman. His Bruce Wayne was okay.

Zoe Kravitz, Colin Farrell (unrecognizable as Penquin), Jeffrey Wright, and Andy Serkis made this an amazing cast. John Turturro was good but I am still getting over his character from the Transformers franchise. His character is much better in this movie.

Review

I felt like this was based in the early days of Christian Bale's Dark Knight, if you skip the part that Batman meets Selina Kyle in his second year as Batman and he forgets who she is by The Dark Knight Rises. So this is obviously a different version of Batman. I enjoyed the more realistic versions of Riddler and Penguin vs the ones from the 1990s. Although, I have to admit I loved Danny DeVito in the role back in the 1990s.

There is a reason they gave this movie title The Batman as the focus is more on this character over Bruce Wayne. Sorry if that is a spoiler. I actually enjoyed it looking at the movie as a rookie Batman's life vs expecting this to be the great detective we have come to know over the years. With a run time of 176 minutes, it is much easier to take in with some intermissions. Don't get me wrong, there was not a lot of fluff in this story so the entire runtime is necessary to tell the story.

Rating

I will give this movie a low HD rating. I will probably add this one to my collection when it is closer to the $5-$8 range.

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Glass - Movie Review

History M. Night Shyamalan has made many movies that provide plot twists that are unusual. Unbreakable and Split are two such examples that surprisingly become part of the same universe. Unbreakable was released in 2000 by Walt Disney Studios. Split was released in 2017 by Universal Pictures. Glass is the third movie in the trilogy distributed jointly by Universal and Disney. M. Night Shyamalan’s movies were pretty reliable in the 1990s and early 2000s with movies like The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs, and The Village. The Last Airbender in 2010 was horrible. With a rich story from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, M. Night managed to destroy over 8 hours of great story telling by condensing it into a 103 minute movie. Not to mention how the characters names were mispronounce throughout the film. I could spend an entire post on how that movie destroyed a live action series. My children convinced me to purchase Split. I admit at the time of this post, I have yet to...

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...
