Literally just saw this on pop up too. Looking forward to it.

I've not see Keaton do anything bad yet (involved in The Flash, but he was brilliant), and most things I've seen him in of late he has excelled at. I'm hoping for big things but I'm going to keep my expectations low as there are too many cash grabs nowadays.


In other news....... If I went to see The Fall Guy at the cinema, I think I would have walked out. Previously I always found Gosling pretentious, now I don't know what he's up to. His performances aren't lacking, but his script selection is down right awful. Barbie, The Grey Man and this dross. I'm sure he's justified with the cheques rolling, this level of dross should be saved for retirement though.

I love Keaton, he’s always been underrated since the first batman when he really got a lot of stick as the choice and then blew everyone away. Beetlejuice is one of those where I don’t think anyone else could have made such an impact as he did.

Barbie was like Intel for me. I've no idea where the positivity came from, but when I watched it myself I thought every single positive review was a sellout.

The performances were fine, the cast did a fine job with what they were given to work with. There were a few cheap laughs but for the most part it was absolute trash. If you put that dross on the cinema in 1994 Shawshank Redemption might have shone instead of falling on its backside.

What does Barbie compare to with similar review considerations? Blows my mind!

As Michael Keaton himself said, he is Batman. As much as his Beetlejuice performance was also magnificent, his face wasn't on display. To this day I see Michael Keaton and I genuinely see Bruce Wayne trying to carry the world on his shoulders. Every movie I see him in, he genuinely is batman..... trying different angles to right the wrongs of the world/gotham.

I probably watched this film at the wrong time. It was brilliant, but it wasn't anywhere near his and Pesci's performance in Goodfellas for me. It put him on the map in the acting world, no doubt, but he did better since. Goodfellas made him the 'Gangsta' that he was typecast for years (Casino I think was probably his hardest persona).
