The Batman sometimes feels like independent movie, and it's good. It's dark and grimy vision of caped crusader which I've always want to experience on big screen. Bruce is young and have some anger issues. Although he is fighting crime for two years, he still must learn what does it mean to be Batman.

I don't like two, maybe three things. Zoe is great as Catwoman but her relationship with Batman evolves too fast and just feels like being built for fanservice sake. It's unconvincing and unnecessary, and it really adds nothing to the movie.

Batman should be more fragile. He is driven a lot by his uncontrolled rage, which makes him super dangerous and I'm loving this aspect of character, but he never should be 100% bulletproof...It was supposed to be the most realistic Batman movie, you know? And even his armor/suit is stylized as being self-made. Instead he takes all that shooting without a scratch. And even by the end of the movie, when being shot badly, he takes some drug and it turns out to be ok from now on.

Ending was too long. Batman saving people from flooded Gotham. Riddler meeting Joker. Batman spliiting up with Catwoman. The last two feel forced and unnecessary. TBH I hate the fact they placed the Joker in Riddler movie. Was it worth it for these dozen or so seconds? No. I guess it's a fanservice thing again.

That's all. Overall it's a very good movie and I like it very much, but with so little effort it could be even better.

I love Pitch Black movie. In fact, it is one of my beloved movies and one of the best sci-fi movies I've ever watched. A perfect mix of horror, action movie and a drama, with colorful and interesting characters and same anti-hero. Chronicles wasn't so good but still was entertaining and fun to watch. So I'm even more disappointed now... Riddick was to be expected as returning to the roots; simply being a better Pitch Black, and proud continue of this great franchise. Unfortunately it isn't half as good as Pitch Black is. Moreover, it is really bad, BAD movie, so bad that I can't understand how David Twohy managed to do that. Riddick sucks in almost every way; it is a truly boring experience most of the time. Script is bad, dialogs are weak, like written by 10 years old. Characters are dull and empty - including Riddick character(Sorry, Vin). Only neurotic Santana seems to be at right place and feels somewhat interesting. Besides of Riddick, I'm truly disappointed in Dahl character - thought she would play a greater role than a plaything to our anti-hero. Not to mention Luna guy who brought to the movie simply nothing. Weak, weak, weak. Riddick is still a tough guy like he was expected to be, but this time he is just unconvincing with his cheesy lines and strange behavior. The only good thing is his bond with a dog, and really, NOTHING else. There is no tense, no dynamic in this movie. Riddick was supposed to be a predator so I thought he would be a real bad-ass finishing off his opponents one by one. But no. There's no single action with him worth to mention. And this one with Santana is a 'bit' awkward... I'm heavily disappointed in this film, in David Twohy and Vin Diesel. Sorry guys, but you totally let me down. Not recommending it.
