Liquorice Pizza, bizarre, bonkers, brilliant ?
The son of Philip Seymour Soffman plays the lead male role, what a star in the making that lad is ?

Batman. How do you keep reinventing the wheel? I think they have done a very good job, Pattinson does moody very well. Filming must have been a nightmare though, permanently dark and raining

Thank you. Deleted from planner. I think I get sucked into the fact they have some big names in them - maybe they're just picking up easy money.

Someone was explaining this to me years ago
They sign deals for X amount but they have to basically make loads and loads of movies for these days, unless your a superstar and pick your films most of them are on muilti movie contracts and just have to make whatever the studio says
Marvel whilst making great movies have their stars filming scene after scene and half the actually stars don't know until the film comes out which movie that scene is for

Ambulance, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. An intense action film, that intense that I suffered sensory overload and the action lost its impact to some degree. I didn't not enjoy it, but I'm not sure that I enjoyed it either as it was so over the top. As an aside if the helicopter involvement in the car chase that is pretty much all the film weren't CGI'd then it's some of the best stunt flying I've seen. And if you are squeamish at the sight of blood & medical procedures, maybe give it a swerve.

I made the same mistake. awful film, dreadful acting.
Just finished the Jack Reacher film series [The Killing Room ??]
A proper life like actor playing Reacher, my wife says he was wooden but did not read the books so she could not understand that he was supposed to be like that.

My missus wasn't remotely interested in the series but like having it on so I could nudge her whenever the actor playing Jack Reacher took his top off.

It was brilliant
I strongly disagree about Bruce Wayne. He was still grieving and finding his feet
All good stories need a begining a middle and an end
This was just the beginning

It didn't really feel like the beginning either, since he didn't actually become Batman. They sort of skipped the beginning and dived into the early-middle.

But it is a begining to the batman he is becoming.
They didn't want to retell the story of his parents death again it's been done to death (pardon the pun)
This is very much batman early years , plenty of ways to go from here

Agree, very much along the lines of Batman Year One and Year 2 in the comics or the early episodes in the New 52. Even though it was brief, he even had to be reminded of the need to be Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins.
Finally, with films like this and the newer Spiderman films, companies have realised that there is no need to see the origin story again and again.
Having watched the deleted scenes, liking the look of the new Joker as well.

A 1966 western starring Steve McQueen on ITV4…Nevada Smith…excellent…though having a 35yr old McQueen playing a 16yr old took a bit of believing, but he played it well.

I have indeed, very interesting
I was impressed with the casting of the film and the tone
Strong message throughout
@Orikoru that's what I meant to say aswell this very much built on something missed in majority of batman films to date.
He is the world's greatest detective and they really used it in this
Most impressive

That's true. The use of the Riddler is always a good one to showcase his detective skills I think.

The riddler was done so well. Dark and twisted
We have seen the Joker done so many times it was nice to see someone else used
Plus Selina was brilliant
It was a well put together film
The batmobile aswell.. beautiful, but could have been an EV ?
