I believe in Harvey Dent!
10 August 2021
The long Halloween part 2 is a good movie however while they try to do here an interesting take on it, it feels to the point unwarranted and unjustified. It's similar to Batman hush where it shares the name I tried doing it on the thing and tries to add a twist. So much from the novel is changed and recon here with Catwoman having a significant role in this movie to the point that she and Bruce know who each other are even in a serious relationship. Part 2 seems rather unbalanced when it seems as though Selena is getting more screen time and focus than Bruce actually is but when you watch both parts together it does seem more even but it's just more heavily driven towards her. Closer to the end of the story. But also brought to the attention that this is earlier in Bruce's years and he's not gonna be Batman out a spot at his prime but for the majority of the Time he doesn't do anything other than feel bad for himself. You could have moments where Batman feels exposed on the occasion feels something, but when you don't have him really fighting anyone or even investigating for most of the film all that much it's just a waste. What they did with Harvey Dent as the core focuses is more on him was done well. Part two should have focused even more heavily on Harvey than Bruce. Some of the scenes used for Selena could've been given the Harvey instead To add more. What is negative as the film still does manage to shine and its tone. But its Pacing is where it falters the most, there's not much going on in this compared to part 1. Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day quickly abruptly rushed over trying to get closer to Harvey's accident it's more dialogue-driven. What did she say the ending honestly ruins the integrity of the long Halloween when you altar key things even cutting out Alberto from the story.
