A movie that contorts itself wildly to be both misogynist and not, to mostly shallow effect in both directions. Made awkwardly watchable by Willa Fitzgerald’s wildcat take on the scream queen.
It’s difficult at this moment in history to watch a political thriller from an American perspective without slipping into nihilism. Casting a black man as POTUS helped, as did putting Katherine Bigalow behind the camera.
A joyless exercise in saying "Yes" to only the most idiotic studio notes. Please stop trying to awkwardly squeeze this very comic-book idea into a movie, unless you're Pixar, in which case, yes, of course we'd like another "Incredibles".
Finally, a Batman movie completely focused on Bruce Wayne's myriad neurosis. Also about a bunch of other stuff, like why Norton was the wrong guy for a Hulk movie, and that's exactly why it's amazing.
