The reviews are rolling in.

Every big/major movie gets positive early reactions. It's hard to trust early reactions now. Nowadays it's VERY positive early reactions and then when actual reviews come, it's always mediocre/average or terrible. And if it's negative early reactions, then the reviews are positive or mediocre/average. I think a lot has to do with people being blinded by that they get to see these movies WAY ahead of the general public. So they have something to brag about and stuff, and they'll claim it's the best movie ever because they were lucky enough to see it first and weeks or months before everyone else. Some critics do get to go to these early screenings, but when the critic reviews start posting, those that saw it closer to release date can be more honest and stuff. I've stopped listening to early reactions since Batman V. Superman. That movie had VERY positive early reactions, but the critics destroyed it when they were allowed to post their reviews. Well, I thought BvS was good, but since then I notice that usually early reactions and the actual reviews say different stuff. That's why I'm always replying to people (on Facebook, not here) when a new major movie has positive early reactions to remember the BvS situation. Early reactions don't mean anything. It's just people getting excited and stuff because they got to see the movie well ahead of time than everyone else.

Given that Nicholson's Joker plummeted from the roof of a cathedral, with a 300lb stone gargoyle tied to his ankle, he'd have to be released from the nether regions, not Arkham Asylum. And Jack Nicholson, who is eighty-six, hasn't appeared on screen for over a decade. He's pretty clearly retired from acting. Besides, I don't think an octogenarian Joker would be all that menacing -- and I am highly dubious about a septuagenarian Batman too, for that matter. One of the criticisms I have of the recent Indian Jones movie (aside from my worries about its wokeness under Kathleen Kennedy's management of Lucasfilm), is that Harrison Ford is just too old to be playing action hero roles. There comes a time when you just have to let things go and move on.
