The Batman
My review of The Batman has gone.
It meets with the rules, it had a lot of reactions. It has gone.
I would like it to be reinstated with the reactions.
I have had the same issues with my Spiderman: No Way Home review. That has never been reinstated when it was taken off a few weeks ago.
It always gets taken down. I believe that my reviews are being deliberately targeted.
This is my review of The Batman.
- Text: With a gargantuan running time and a sluggish plot. The Batman promises more than it actually delivers.
The opening broody act does whet the appetite. This is a dark, moody and nihilistic take on the Dark Knight. An adult take on the comic book with elements of horror.
Director Matt Reeves is inspired by David Fincher. This is a grungy rain soaked world.
With the Riddler, Penguin, Falcone and Catwoman. It soon descends into throwing everything in the hope that something sticks.
There are too many characters and not enough action. There is a chase sequence featuring the Penguin and that is about it.
Robert Pattinson is wasted. His stunt double might have well be in the Batsuit. As Bruce Wayne he looks like an emo waster with a drug problem rather than a rich spoilt brat.
There were issues with the main villains as well. The Riddler is just another take on Heath Ledger's Joker who just wants to see the world burn or in this case the streets of Gotham flooded.
As for the Penguin. What was the point in hiring Colin Farrell if he was going to be covered in latex and a fat suit.
The biggest insult and this is where I sympathise with Alan Moore's criticism of Warner Brothers. Once again a global media conglomerate is peddling the line that society is in trouble. Police and politicians are corrupt.
The answer is for everything to go down in flames. There is a scene where the new mayoress goes out to help people but is attacked in a scene that holds a mirror to the 2021 Capitol Hill attack.
Batman states he will learn and will do his best to improve society rather than look for vengeance. The film then sows the seeds for the sequel with a clown that has the same attitude as the Riddler.
This is from a company which only believes in one thing. The bottom line.

Hi prismark10-
Can we please have one of the 18 digit submission references for the reviews? So our editors can take a look and possibly reinstate them?
Thanks!

I would be happier if these reviews are protected from being deleted by a troll who is gaming the IMDB systems.

It looks like nothing has happened regarding the reinstatement of my reviews.
