Guayaquil fans applaud the new Batman movie with Robert Pattinson

One of the risks of being one of the most anticipated films in recent years is that its premiere was going to be loaded with expectations the size of skyscrapers. Since the new installment on Batman was announced, in 2016, his most ardent followers were on the lookout for every detail that was forming the film, which was finally released this Thursday, March 3 in theaters in Ecuador (with a preview on Wednesday 2).

Of course, one of those particularities, the one that sparked the most debates in the conversations of friends, on social networks and even in the media, was the actor’s promising performance. Robert Pattinsonwell known for his role in the teenage saga Twilight.

Renowned fans of the character created for DC Comics present their final verdict below.

For the broadcaster and content creator Louis Copiano, the delivery fulfilled what was promised in its new focus on the bat man. “Reeves presents not an action-focused Batman to entertain the public, but shows a detective drama, in an early stage of Batman, who still keeps his resentment fresh for what happened with his parents,” explains the fan, who He confesses that he always tries to be one of the first to see this type of film as soon as it is released.

It also gives its stamp of approval in favor of Pattinson. “He gets to cover mouths with an excellent performance; he didn’t convince me as much as Bruce, but it’s precisely because everything was presented differently from what we were usually used to seeing in the cinema”. Furthermore, he adds: “Many fans we at DC expected to see the seriousness and drama characteristic of the print editions in the cinema, and batman He succeeds with flying colors.”

For Coppiano, another satisfying aspect of the new version of the night watchman was the approach of the antagonists. “It’s gratifying that the film takes a different approach to the villains of Batman and that they are given great importance, and also leaves us in anticipation of possible confrontations in future installments,” he expands. “I liked the way the Riddler was introduced and how he fully challenges Batman in a matchup of great minds. I loved how Collin Farrel transformed into the Penguin, it’s amazing work. And seeing Selina Kyle’s relationship with Batman is very true to what we’ve seen in the comics.”

For this reason, he wants to motivate fans to see this new stage of the overcast, which in his opinion is “much more human than what we have seen in the cinema and that leaves us waiting for what could be a new detective saga. biggest in the world”.

Angie Gonzalezactress and host of Comic Con Ecuador, joins in telling the idolaters of the Dark Knight who have not yet seen the film to prepare “for the almost three best hours of the Batman universe that we have seen in a long time.”

Similar to the community that loves comics and superheroes, their expectations for the production were high. “I had read a lot about her before seeing her, but you never know about her. The Batman universe is my favorite, and having heard from the director that his vision was to make a pure detective film, I was like, ‘Bingo!’ That’s what we Batman fans have been waiting to see on screen. Batman is the best detective in the world.

In his perception, director Matt Reeves drew on the structure of many of the comics and animated films. “I thought it was incredible that he showed us a dark detective Batman. The film can become at times a film horror, and I’m a fan of that. The universe he created seemed incredible to me, visually and photographically. I savored that Gotham”, emphasizes the creative.

About Pattinson he says: “We see a Bruce with only two years of being Batman; he’s still forming into the Batman we know and he’s on the right track. He feels broken, sad, and little by little he forms his way of seeing the world and his morals, but with the intellectuality that characterizes him”. In his opinion, those who steal the Show without a doubt they are the Riddler and the Penguin.

The project management expert Michael Cedillo He went to the cinema on Thursday expecting a film full of CGI effects and “a surreal plot, like the one presented on previous occasions.” The result ended up being superior. “The proposal is fresh and refreshing, interesting for people who have read the comics and know that the character is a detective more than a superhero (which he never is, since he doesn’t have superpowers)”, defends Cedillo.

“His focus is on showing how hard it is to be an orphan, both rich and poor, and the importance of treating sentimental shortcomings in time, shortcomings that end up turning one into a villain and the other into a hero.” In that respect, Robert Pattinson seemed “sensational” to him. “He sold me on his two personalities: strong and firm in the suit. Traumatized and with internal crises when he is Bruce”.

He also applauds the interpretation of the villains: “Adjusted to the comic. The mask on the Riddler made it seem more horror than comic. That created more of the image of ‘this man is cruel’”. For this reason, he does not recommend attending this function with children under 15 years of age. “The film will be long and they will not understand the complexity of the plot and the emotionality of the film.”

Nicole Bourbor she and her partner decked out in the vigilante’s new t-shirt designs to watch the film’s midweek preview. “I loved the story. I saw a young, inexperienced Batman getting carried away with rage. Gotham City really conveyed that feeling of a city steeped in crime, corruption and drugs. I never saw the sun, it always rained and it was night. The detective approach was fascinating, I like to see a Batman like that, more vulnerable”, collects the follower.

For her, the Riddler was spectacular: “A psychopath with a firm and real purpose. The penguin stole the Show, he came out little, but when he did come out he did so well that you wanted to see him more”. Like the rest, he approves of Robert Pattinson’s characterization. “He’s a terrific actor, and as Batman he was really intimidating. Like Bruce Wayne he didn’t shine that bright,” he illustrates. Therefore, he warns those who have not yet seen the film to “keep in mind that you will see a new Batman away from the typical path of the hero with values.”
