The Batman (2022)

Don't listen to the negative reviews this film is great

[9/10 · 13 May 2022]

I don't know what agenda the negative reviewers have against this film but I'd ignore them and watch this film. If you're a Batman fan or just a detective film fan this will float your boat.

On the whole the film isn't perfect (hence the 9 score), for some the few sprinklings of identity politics from Catwoman will annoy some whereas the fact that there is so little of 'the message' in this film will annoy others.

I really enjoyed a more thoughtful portrayal of Batman than the usual superhero fair from other studios. The fact that he actual does some detecting rather than just racing to the next big action set-piece was refreshing and very welcome.

All the cast did a great job and the direction, editing and score were excellent.

My advice, don't listen to the naysayers, watch the film and make up your OWN mind.

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote (2018)

Half baked waste of time

[2/10 · 4 February 2019]

I'm a long term fan of Gilliam's work but this is nowhere near the quality we as fans expect. The film makes no sense. The actors try hard with what they're given but the story is poorly written, the swap between reality and fantasy is so minor and irrelevant that you hardly notice it - the way this was promoted I was expecting transitions the like of my favourite Gilliam film Brazil but this is so far away from a Brazil that it's hard to believe it was made by the same film maker. In conclusion, I'm sorry Terry but this is utter toss.
