This reboot manages to take some of the more interesting aesthetic ideas of the first two movies and updates them with very neat makeup effects and well designed sets The whole thing certainly feels much better produced than all the horrible direct to video or streaming sequels but still it doesn't manage to capture the gothic and gritty charm of the first 2 original movies.
The gore is underwhelming compared to the original, if that's what you came to see. There are no epic scenes like Frank regrowing himself out of a drop of blood, no obsessed woman hammering people to death to feed her zombified lover and no bodies being shredded by chains. Except gor s quick one in the dark.
On the other hand, the cenobites look amazing and are quite creative. The new Pinhead convinced me The sexual pleasure aspect of their sadistic religion has been thrown out, again sanitized.
The protagonists are (again) cutout characters. Well played, but uninteresting.
I''ll happily watch a sequel with the same designs and demons, but would really wish for something with way better writing and the courage to test the boundaries as the original did.

The Batman swims in the same stylistic river as The Joker. Everything feels retro, wet and dirty. Taxi Driver, Seven and French Connection vibes, which is interesting.
However, just as I felt with The Joker, this has no reason to exist. Nothing new or interesting we haven´t seen too many times before in the other incarnations. Bruce Wayne is a colorless emo kid running around in a ridiculous outfit, not Batman.
Also it´s quite boring and not much happens.

This one is puzzling. A lot of love went into the wardrobe, scenarios and mood, so you really feel like you´re in the period.
The gore is OK, nothing out of this world like many reviews want to make you believe. The monster looks a bit like the werewolves in "American Werewolf in Paris", so...meh.
The big problem here is that there is no interesting protagonist to follow, so I didn´t care.
And the initial mystery scene about the bullet is just not necessary. There is no mystery or twist to it, so...why?
