Roger Ebert's review

Approx. transcript time · 00:35:41Read transcript
  • Roger Ebert gave the film two stars. — Bill Simmons
  • Excerpts praise the Gotham City design as distinctive and atmospheric but regret that nothing more memorable happens there. — Bill Simmons
  • The review calls the Joker the most important character in impact and screen time and finds Keaton’s Batman and Bruce Wayne so monosyllabic and impenetrable that viewers must remind themselves to cheer. — Bill Simmons
  • The review calls it a hostile, mean-spirited movie about ugly, evil people, lacking the euphoria of Superman or Indiana Jones, and not for kids despite its rating. — Bill Simmons
  • The review feels like one and a half stars, likely bumped to two for the look; Ebert also disliked the sequel. — Sean Fennessey
  • A rebuttal says Ebert missed the point about design and character psychology, and that a nighttime parade whose giant balloons poison the city is memorable. — Bill Simmons
  • Ebert is described as a plot and story guy, and the story comes and goes here. — Bill Simmons

Approx. transcript time · 00:23:01Read transcript
  • Roger Ebert gave it two and a half stars, calling it not terrifically good but with an intriguing premise, and saying it uses only 15, maybe 20% of its brain, which is still more than a lot of movies do.
  • Ebert did not anticipate the film's impact on streamers and cable; it is called one of the most rewatchable movies of the last 15 years, one you keep watching once he takes the drug.

  • Roger Ebert, called our guy, gave the film four stars. — Bill Simmons
