Taken a few viewings but can finally sum up my thoughts:
The good:
+ The cast. All doing a great job.
+ The cinematography. Gorgeous.
+ The tone. Very dark but actually quite funny in places and a hopeful streak at the end.
+ Gotham. Absolute hellhole that fully justifies the existence of Batman. Very nice design too.
+ The batsuit. From a design perspective.
+ Special mentions for The Riddler and Penguin. So god damn good.
The alright:

Coincidence that the Xmen film that focuses the most on actually developing its characters is the best in the franchise by far? Probably not
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I came when Charlie Cox showed up. Everything after that was bonus.
People have complained a lot about the messy structure but I didn’t really mind this, I was engaged pretty much start to finish even with the messy sections. Of course the three Spidermen together is a dream come true and honestly all three of them are better in this film than they ever have been alone. I even loved Maguire in this film and that’s something I did not think I would ever say.
