Will I get around to it someday? Maybe.
And I know it will make a shit ton of money this weekend. But here’s what’s holding me back:
It’s yet another comic book movie.
If I’m going to see a Batman movie I at least want to see Batman.
I understand it’s a celebration of guns.
There are deep concerns that some fucking idiot might want to shoot up a theatre that’s showing it, a la the 2012 Aurora massacre when THE DARK KNIGHT premiered.
After that point, no other justifications are necessary but…
The movie got a wretched review in the NEW YORK TIMES.
The movie won the Venice Film Festival. That’s always a warning sign.
I’m not in the mood for a dark cynical empty heartless movie right now.
I don’t give a shit why some outcast becomes a serial killer. I just want to take his guns away.
And finally, the real Joker is in the White House. Why pay good money to see a pale imitation?
