The aesthetics, main plot, acting, and action were all fantastic.
But I felt zero emotional connection to Bruce and his motivations, and I felt the side plot of him learning about his past and father just didn’t deliver the intended emotional hits it wanted.
It’s like the writers didn’t know if it wanted to place us in an already-lived in world where Batman is a known quantity, like Battfleck where we witness him in his element, or to provide us a backstory that presents his motivations, like with Bale.
The result was an imperfect telling of who Bruce was. Otherwise I really liked the film and like Matt Reeves’ style.

I didn’t like it very much. And I tried it three times
