An ambitious attempt but not as entertaining as it might sound. The basics of the story is unfolded very fast and the things get old already in the middle. Instead of digging a bit into the life of our protagonist or his personality, the main plot is a war of moving forward and backward. There are clever tricks to make audiences get the story and the flow right. It didn't elaborate more on the inner world of the so-called arms dealers and spies but instead rely on physics jargons and cliches to hide it's inadequacy in world building. John Wick did a good job and Edge of Tomorrow is entertaining enough. But Tenet didn't. And the so-called device of world destruction is a piece of metal junk you can find in a garage. No magic, no problem solving, no sense, no nothing. This is how this movie upset a fan.

Gal Godot can handle the character better than any previous films. The story has many questionable choices but it is still pretty straight forward. Kristen Wiig's Cheetah deserves more time to develop her story.

It must be their version of a MCU equivalent but with more fantasy stuff than good story telling. Zach Levi's acting was always more childish than Asher Angel's, true. The big star villains were not so convincing, true. Gal Gadot' Wonder Woman appeared, true. The whole movie did not surprise me, at all. I am a fan and tried my very best to look at the good side. Sadly, it looks like there won't be another sequel but luckily, it can finish like this. Post credit scenes are ok but also ok to skip.

It deserves an award in cinematography alone. A detective story with a sad Bruce Wayne that no one has done before. The 3-hour runtime is a bit long but just enough to tell every bit of the story and you can tell at the end how they made the whole plot so compact and airtight. Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz are stunning. This film could be the first batman movie with only one song and a few tracks of the same theme over and over. But this minimalistic approach is what it needs. Good job. Don't bother to stay after the credits if you go for it in a cinema. That bit doesn't worth the wait.
