    That’s mad, I watched it earlier and didn’t even realise it was on 3 hours.

    I thought it was alright but not a patch on Christian Bale ones at all.

    No idea why they would cast Colin Farrell to be Penguin if it wasn’t even going to look or sound anything like him.. was shocked when I looked at the cast afterwards and seen he was the Penguin.

    Watched The Batman a few weeks ago and again on Friday.

    Think it's brilliant and Pattinson is my favourite live action Batman so far. Would agree that it's overly long, though. It really does feel like 3 hours. But the casting is spot on in general and the music is great.

    Stick Heath Ledger's Joker in it and it's the best Batman film going.

    Had never watched one of these till a few months ago. Same as yourself, thought they would be pretty dire but have watched a few of them now and they've all been decent.

    Been watching The Batman in installments because of work and still got an hour to go but enjoyed it so far.

    I thought The Batman was fantastic, but it definitely dragged a bit in the third act.

    It’s the only recent attempt that has nailed how much of a cesspit Gotham is supposed to be. Batman Begins gave it a good go, but I thought the cinematography, atmosphere and set design were all outstanding here.

    Next instalment has a lot of potential but the Joker is difficult to live up to if they do go down that route.

    Yeah I was hoping they'd avoid the Joker in this trilogy. Would love to see Scarecrow being the main villain in a Reeves Batman film. Really tap in to the horror side of it.

    Ambulance 5/10 Bearable watch, bit daft at times. Jake Gyllenhaal is a little irritating in it but not the worst film I've seen recently.

    I think Mr Freeze will be the villain in The Batman 2.

    The Northmen 6/10 Was awrite but I'm getting sick of all new films being such a * marathon, would put me off the cinema.

    Having said that I watched the Suicide Squad the other day and actually quite liked it even though thought it was pretty long as well. The first one was pish, saw that in the cinema and nodded off a couple times, but thought this was a lot more entertaining.

    Loved this film. Very unique and a lot of good humour and philosophical themes throughout.

    With Warner Bros. recent takeover and Disney getting more and more Marvel stuff I wonder how much worse it’ll be a decade down the line for non-comic book movies.

    Switched Morbius off, dire.

    Watched 30 Days of Night right through for the first time, thought it was decent. Like Vampire films, Bram Stoker's, Near Dark, Blade etc and this was alright too.
