    The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

    ★★★

    Guy Ritchie watched Inglourious Basterds and was like “i could do that…” and while he technically can.. it’s inferior in every way

    tbf i had some fun and the design isn’t terrible and i have a real soft spot for Henry Cavil.. my biggest gripe is Ritchie doesn’t seem at all interested in what the camera is doing in his movie. i don’t think there’s a single shot in this movie where the blocking or composition means anything or really…

    ★★★★½

    The Batman

    ★★★★

    Definitely too long, but definitely my favourite iteration of character so far — and I truly love how it looks and sounds (nirvana on the soundtrack is a great decision 🤌).

    And, of all the batman films, i think it comes the closest to admitting that batman is actually just a rich, sad, angry, terrifying, problematic, lunatic…
