It has been a week since Batman Begins was released. People had embraced and understood a lot about how good the superhero movie was, rather than the movie which was released on the same day as Batman Begins. The only reason Lycan Studio had an exceptional number of positive remarks for the movie was solely the history of the franchise.
Apart from that, the initial few days went on with people hyping over ‘The Alien’ more compared to Batman Begins. But later on, after people who watched Batman Begins started to share and say the good parts of the movie, the focus entirely changed to Batman Begins from The Alien.
“How in the hell it has crossed $100 million at the box office by the first week already?!” Shane was beyond pissed looking at the digits on the screen itself.
“Uh–check the reviews. I saw so many negative movie critics about the movie, and I thought we were doing a good job,” Carmona said back while typing ‘IAM’ in the main search engine to get reviews.
“Check the top reviews, those are the kind of stuff which goes all-around social media in no time, and people might have even—what the fuck?” Shane’s eyes widened in horror.
This was the first time he saw something like that. The movie name had around 1k critics, yet more than half of them were bad. The most trending review had 2.5k likes and that was a negative comment which had cursed the director, cast, storyline, and even the music.
“This—is so bad!” Carmona was taken back by what he saw.

Okay, so to be very honest I can’t give more than two stars for the overall movie. When I say I’m biased toward the studio, trust me I’m not lying. If you check any of my socials (Click the profile, you’ll see the links), more than half the time, I was sharing/quoting/promoting movies from Lycan Studio—in the franchise itself. I was a hardcore fan till this movie came out! I’m so disappointed and my feelings…..The keyboard is not enough for me to express how pissed I’m right now.
The cast– A HUGE NO. Many new actors and actresses were there, but the fact HOW hard they were trying to be funny made it look fake asf. The JJ family and RM family, the fights were something from the first movie. I wish the director had anything new to offer with this new movie. The actors did a poor job of acting. I don’t even know why Jeff Thomas was given the role of a villain. All I saw was how a joker was trying so hard to be a wannabe villain, and it was the worst.
Story– The two stars were entirely for the story. Since we were familiar with and we embraced the previous two movies wholeheartedly, I think the story of this movie was somewhat relatable and something that we all can agree upon. But on the bad side, some things were too repetitive. To be honest, it was kind of bland, and I personally did not enjoy it even a bit.
Music– Don’t even remind me. It is like…. This warrior music while two families were fighting, and that too in the background— it was honestly the worst.
I don’t know if I can even complete my review considering how mad I’m right now. I can name myself as the person who was overly happy to watch the movie in the first place, but this is a pure waste of time. This can be called a commercial movie with a predictable plot, where almost the ENTIRE crew was trying too hard to be funny, and overall a fcking black film experience.
[...] “This honestly is the worst review ever, and see how many people have agreed with that person,” Carmona looked disappointed while he kept reading the other reviews which had agreed or mentioned how Batman Begins was good compared to ‘The Alien’.
“Fuck!” Shane said, standing up while his hands were placed on the table with a loud thud. “We have to do something! How about paying critics for some positive reviews?”

Sherina Cooper was a middle-aged woman with two sons, who both were under the custody of their father. Sherina divorced a year ago, and ever since then, she barely got a chance to spend time with the kids, considering how much time she spent with her new husband.
Ever since she was fifteen, she enjoyed reading comic books quite often. And much to her luck, two days ago her husband came home saying how this new movie of Batman Begins was released and that she should go and watch the movie. He was a businessman who worked in a private sector company and had almost no time to spend watching movies.
He hated going to the theaters and spending money on a movie in which the profits are earned by the studios, directors, and everyone else who was behind the success of any movie.
Hearing the words of her husband, she agreed with no hesitation knowing that she could somehow manage to convince her ex-husband to let her take the kids for the weekend and they could even watch the newest movie, which even the kids were fans of—The Batman.
“Mommy, can we buy popcorn too?” The twelve-year-old son asked tugging at his mom’s hand.
“Sure, what do you want, little hero?” Sherina questioned the other kid who tagged along. He shook his head grumpily.
“Let’s buy some then,”
They walked inside the theater cafeteria and bought popcorn which both the kids enjoyed taking off from the salesman and eating on their way to the seats.
“Who remembers the story of Bruce?” Sherina asked with a grin looking at her elder son, knowing he was the one to be obsessed with Batman more compared to the younger one.
“I am of course! Will we see how their parents die too?” He questioned.
“I hope we do, one of my friends told me that this is really well-made. I’m hoping that we could see the background and everything we imagined in the comics. Do you remember how we talked about Ra’s al-Ghul? He would be in here too,” Sherina whispered to the two kids.
On the inside, she was more excited and joyous than the two kids. It was mainly because she was always a fan, and this type of good movie was based on her favorite comics—the happiness she felt in her heart, was immeasurable.
“I watched the trailer too mommy, it looked so good, did you see how the tumbler was brought on the premier day?” The twelve-year-old asked, looking more excited than ever.
“Yesss, it looked so real, I can’t wait! Ten minutes more…. Just ten!”
They continued to talk and talk until the logo of Renner Studio appeared on the screen. After the movie started, everyone went silent considering how addictive, descriptive, and how good the movie started.
After two hours, everyone was fully invested in the movie. The way Batman was created, and how the story kept turning and twisting caught everyone by surprise for how good it was. Both Sherina and her two kids, including everyone else, were equally or more invested in the movie. The kids even refused to go out to the cafeteria during the break saying, what if the movie started again?
[...] THE END
The movie came to an end earning good amounts of positive talks among the people who were present to watch the movie. They all were happy with how it ended, but some teenagers talked loudly about how Rachel and Wayne parted ways even before their love story started.
“I wish they lasted long, bad times and sad times,” A girl whispered to her other friend, which was overheard by Sherina.
“What are you talking about? Rachel was not even supposed to be there, in the comics, she was never a love interest of Wayne. That was extra but the director had made it appear so good—so good to be true,” The other girl said while shaking her head and wiping fake tears.
“Christian Bale is so hot and I can’t even—”
The conversation kept going on until they were out of the theater and finding taxis to get home.
“Mommy, comics!” The twelve-year-old shouted and his brother joined him.
“Yes! Please! Please! Mommy!” The other little guy was just one year younger but was equally if not more spoiled than his brother.
“Oh okay okay, let’s see,” Sherina walked towards the stall of comics.
Right in front of the theater, a man was selling Batman Comics. Sherina thought how profitable it must be for him that people who watch and start loving the hero would come here to buy the comics considering they would get a glimpse of things that are possible to happen in the next movie—if there was any such.
“Any new comics after ‘Year One and The Modern Bat’?” Sherina questioned the stall owner.
“There are two new actually, want me to show them?”
