I was originally going to give this a 7 but upon reflection this film was so well crafted it would have been an insult to do so
The Batman had the daunting task of matching the quality of its former predecessors, most notably the Dark Knight trilogy, however Matt Reeves proceeded to produce a monumental superhero movie which challenges the concept of a Batman, producing the most psychotic, unhinged Bruce Wayne we have seen in the modern era. A character so we'll crafted by Robert Pattinson that the likes of Christian Bale's edition have been surpassed in many areas
Not only does Pattinson's Batman stand out as an exceptional take on the character, but he further engulfs a gritty edition of Gotham, providing a moving, tense atmosphere for the entirety of the film. A present day city which it's hopelessness gravitates the task The Batman faces against evil and corruption. None of this is possible without the breathtaking cinematography produced in the film, something which makes this edition of a Batman film one of the best in its history
What stops this film being a 9-10/10 however was the story. No doubt the first two thirds of the film were faultless, building up a mastermind of a Riddler against a Batman not so gifted in intelligence compared to his prior portrayals, pathing a way for what should have been an ending of epic proportions
Where the story failed however was it's failure to match the grit and dystopia of the world around it. This notably applies to the story's unwillingness to kill off certain characters which would have correlated with the mercilessnesses of the enemies the Batman faces, and furthermore the end sequences felt as if they did not achieve the time they required to propel the film's action to epic proportions. This was not helped by the monotonous aspect of the film's score, regardless of how striking it may have been in its early features in scenes
Regardless, this film is most certainly must watch, with all acting performances bringing Reeve's edition of The Batman to a larger than life three hours. With the hope of future sequels, we may potentially look back on this film as exceeding its predecessors with ease, however in its current standalone form I cannot warrant that achievement. The future is certainly exciting for DC and The Batman has made a statement to the Marvel hegemon of superhero movies.

This isn't just the best episode of Better call Saul to date, this is one of the best episodes ever of the Breaking Bad Universe.
Vince Gilligan has outdone himself... AGAIN. This is an episode which had absolutely everything. The cinematography of this show keeps exceeding itself episode by episode, and the stakes just got a thousand times higher. This was the most action-packed episode of the show to date and has not disappointed. The last two episodes cannot come quick enough

WHAT. AN. EPISODE.
The best episode of the show so far, by far. The breaking point it here and now there is no way back for Jimmy or Kim. Rhea Seehorn puts in the best performance the show has seen so far whilst Bob Odenkirk brings out the performance we all dreaded to see after five years. Everything changes from here!
