In three consecutive previews, thousands of movie fans, hundreds of media reporters and theater experts saw "Batman: The Moment of War" in advance. Perhaps it was a superhero movie of this style that had never appeared in the past. Although the overall review of the film was pretty good, it also caused some controversy.

First of all, the media. This style of films undoubtedly favor the appetite of those who claim to be high-end moviegoers in the media. In addition, Warner Bros.'s public relations, the praise for "Batman: The Moment of War" can be seen everywhere in mainstream media across the United States and even in the Western world in late April.

"A good script, good performance, good director, this is a surprisingly powerful production, and it must be worth the fare."

"The Hollywood Reporter".

"It is indeed a wise choice to let Duke Rosenberg direct this "Batman: The Moment of War", with a stoic character, intense scene, rich connotation, enough to make people scream."

"Premiere".

"Duke Rosenberg's Batman keeps the quality of his own work consistently, and the secret to the success of this film is to keep it real."

"Rolling Stone".

In addition to professional magazines, the major newspapers and online media in North America also praised "Batman: The Moment of War".

"A bold and outstanding superhero movie is the best in Batman movies. Duke Rosenberg uses that bold and bold, dark realistic style to outline the operatic spirit he expected. The film raises superhero movies to an unprecedented level. The rich dark realistic style is also terrifying and shocking!"

The Los Angeles Times.

"Director Duke Rosenberg imaginatively fills and interprets how Bruce Wayne, the heir of the billionaire, embarks on the path of Batman, the Dark Savior, and "Batman: The Moment of War" also changed the excessive exaggerated and mentally retarded comic style of "Batman and Robin", and adopted a more rigorous realistic technique. Such details as Batman's first appearance in the world, the inexperienced skills of the novice when he was on the road, and the old-fashioned, primitive, and wildness of the initial chariot, the old-fashioned, primitive, and wildness of the war suit, all make people feel real and credible. In addition, Duke successfully integrated the usual style of the exploding when he was about to explode, and the usual style of the chasing when he was about to race, making the film extremely attractive!"

Yahoo Entertainment.

The controversy mainly arises among ordinary movie fans. Although the audience of "Batman: The Moment of War" generally responds well, it is not that there are no other voices.

Many people wrote this in the feedback survey.

"I was very surprised when I saw "Batman: The War Moment", because Duke's style has changed a bit, which is definitely not a typical Rosenberg format video. The suppressed darkness in the film makes people feel a little uncomfortable."

"The first half of the film describes Bruce Wayne's inner transformation is too long and boring. Reality and memories are intertwined, flashbacks and flashbacks, which makes people dizzy. Compared with Duke's previous films, I think "Batman: The Moment of War" is more detailed and serious, and it is not entertaining enough."

Obviously, this film, which has a big change in style from Duke's past films, has triggered different opinions among his fans.

The views of movie fans were directly fed back to the theaters, which was an important basis for them to formulate relevant film schedules.

“This is not a typical Duke-style video.”

In the office of the president of the amg theater headquarters, their chief film watch expert Grozmann told Lynch, who is in charge of theater business. "And compared to the preview of his past films, the controversy over the three previews is a little bit louder."

Lynch frowned slightly and asked, "Where is the statistics?"

Grozman pushed a document over and said directly, "Nine hundred and seventy-nine audiences participated in the questionnaire's feedback, 327 people gave a score of a +, 449 people gave a score of a. The overall score of the preview audience was a. The comprehensive market index given by our nine film-watching experts is also a."

"Compared with the Lord of the Rings Trilogy..." Lynch's brows kept frowning, "The data is a little worse."

"Frankly, my personal feelings," Grotzman added. "Compared with Duke's past films, Batman: The Moment of War is a little less entertaining."

With his fingers gently clasped on his desk, Lynch made the decision, "We adopt a more conservative screening strategy..."

After all, this is a failed series of restarts, and no one can guarantee that it will definitely succeed in the market. The conservative distribution strategy is undoubtedly the most in the interests of theaters.

So when Duke saw that there were only 3,925 theaters in the first week of "Batman: The Moment", he didn't feel strange. Moreover, the theater companies in North America were able to give relatively high theaters, and his past glory and appeal in the commercial film field also played a significant role.

In any case, "Batman: The Moment of War" is not a sequel like "Two Towers Ark" and "Return of the King". The caution in theaters is normal.

He does know what the trilogy will respond and influence, but the problem is that what others see more is Batman's bleak ending in the 1990s.

The opening of any movie series is always the most difficult, and it is often the least pleasing to tell the origins of superheroes. Duke did not expect "Batman: The Moment to Begin" to explode, which is obviously impossible.

The film market has its own rules.

Hollywood has developed to this day, not counting as a sequel movie, only "Spider-Man 1" can achieve a box office of more than $100 million at the beginning of the first weekend.

Not to mention the theaters, even Warner Bros. adopted a relatively conservative distribution strategy. The only region where "Batman: The Moment of War" was released first was North America. The Warner Brothers TV videos responded in the North American market and adjusted their overseas distribution strategy in a timely manner. Moreover, if "Batman: The Moment of War" can be sold well in North America, overseas box office will basically be no problem.

In addition to bad comedy, romantic comedy and some genre films, such as science fiction films, war films and action films, as long as North America responds well, it basically means a big seller overseas.

In this era, even if many people don’t want to admit it, it cannot change the fact that Hollywood has become the center of world films.

Movies that conquer North America can almost all spread all over the world.

There are only ten days left before the release of "Batman: The Moment of War" in North America. After Duke added the opening and endings, he also adjusted the soundtrack of the improved version of Hans Jimo and led major cast members such as Liam Neeson, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman and Christian Bale to frequently appear in some public places and continue to participate in various publicity activities across the United States, striving to increase the exposure of himself and the film.

Due to the existence of director Duke, the crew is generally harmonious and there are no too many contradictions. Even if several actors are dissatisfied with each other, they will not reveal it in front of him and in public.

For Hollywood-style crews, this is enough. At least what the public sees is a harmonious and friendly crew.

Even many people know that such a crew cannot exist anywhere in the world, but everyone is willing to believe in beautiful imaginations.

The crew directed by Duke has basically no serious conflicts. His increasing reputation as a director can be said to have played a huge role.

With his personality, as long as it does not affect his work, he basically ignores the open and secret struggles of those celebrities. The actors he works with are not stupid. No one will get into trouble with him as the director and producer.

Those who have provoked him seriously have basically no good ending.

"Have you heard of it?"

When he saw Duke go to the bathroom, Anne Hathaway mysteriously said to Christian Bale and others, "I heard that Roger Albert can neither walk nor speak now, which is the result of offending Duke."

This is the bar at the Hilton Hotel in Chicago where the crew stayed at. After busy work during the day, many people chose to come here for a drink. The crew will stay here for a while. As the location where Gotham City is filmed, Chicago will be the premiere of "Batman: The Moment of War".

"Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Duke."

As someone whom Duke had known for a long time, Liam Neeson obviously knew more, and he also knew that Duke never cared about other people saying these things. "It was when Roger Albert was broadcasting the Oscars live, and when he saw Duke win the award, his old illness suddenly became like this."

"There aren't any good things for those critics!" Christian Bale obviously suffered from critics. "What else would they do except collect money to comment and criticize?"

"I'll still be narrow-minded..." Gary Oldman took over the words, "I think I am the God of the film industry."

The people sitting at this table also showed contemptuous eyes. As people in Hollywood, they certainly knew very well what professional film critics were.

It's really nauseating to be a group of people who want to be vampires and pretend to be gods in the film industry.

Walking out of the bathroom, Duke returned to the bar. He didn't sit down. He looked at the time and reminded, "It's getting late, go back early and rest. You will be on the show tomorrow morning."

The others stood up very consciously and walked out of the bar while chatting about gossip in the Hollywood circle.

“Duke…”

Anne Hathaway walked by Duke on purpose and whispered, "Rafi's foundation will have an event next month. Can you invite you to attend?"

Duke thought for a moment and said, "I can't determine the itinerary now, let's talk about it then."

He didn't want to have too much contact with Anne Hathaway in this regard, and the two sides were just simple working relationships after all.
