I'm no pseudo/wannabe critic, so I'm not trying to give a detailed analysis of where this movie succeeds and where it fails. The standard metric by which I judge romance movies is how lonely I feel when it's done, and having just finished it, I am...very lonely lol.

Is this a perfect movie, no. But it is a very enjoyable one. I didn't watch it so I could see groundbreaking cinema that carefully avoided every known romantic trope or cliche. It has good acting, a fun story, and good chemistry between the leads. I'm gonna be thinking about this one for a while.

I came out of this movie completely satisfied in every measure. From the cinematography, to the soundtrack, to the writing, to the acting, to the directing. It was all so well done that after three hours, I was sad it wasn't longer. This is not a superhero film, it's a noir detective thriller and the emphasis on Batman's abilities as a detective and his incredible intelligence made me like the character more than previous versions we've seen. I wouldn't change anything about this film... Except for Selina's fingernails, those were weird.
