Too much Plot - not enough Batman action stuff


For hardcore Batman fans, it's surely a wet dream.
For average fans, and those who bring their 8-10yr olds to watch it, there's not enough action in it.

Plenty of non-spoiler reviews and news articles giving the heads up/warning/disclaimer that the movie is more dialogue heavy and more of a detective/investigation movie than your usual action-y Batman movie. Do some research (this is target to anyone/anybody reading this).

Also, a kid needing constant action? I don't know about that. I was in 3rd grade when Titanic released in theaters. I saw it twice in theaters too and handled it fine both times. Even all the stuff before the Titanic hits the iceberg. The first time I saw the movie I wanted to see it because my sisters were making a big deal about it (because of Leonard DiCaprio), and since I have no brothers and I'm a middle child, I just followed my sisters. The second time I was dragged to the movie because my mom wanted to see it again, but I wasn't old enough or trustworthy enough to be left home by myself. And unless my parents were seeing an R-rated movie, my sisters and I HAD to go. So I was dragged to Titanic again. But I sat through it like a pro both times. Plus around the time I saw the movie a second time, word was spreading around my school about the drawing scene and getting to see boobs, especially in a PG-13 movie. So getting to see boobs again made me cool for like 2 minutes at school (I was never really popular and stuff and considered a freak/loser/geek/nerd/etc.), although Titanic wasn't the first time I ever saw boobs before in a movie. I had seen several R-rated movies before seeing Titanic. But still it was fun to brag at school about seeing Titanic for the boobs since all the boys were talking about that scene.

But yeah. If a kid can't handle a 3-hour dialogue heavy movie at 8-10 years old, they need some tolerance built up and stuff. Or least have a talk (my parents told me on the way to the movie theater Titanic was 3+ hours). And the parents should do some research first. Plenty of reviews and articles out there giving the heads up about The Batman lacking action.

I saw The Godfather when I was 9 and I was glued to the TV the whole time.

What’s the difference between “anyone” and “anybody”?
