Excellent, a Must See

Absolutely Fantastic

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This Film has dissapointed me and angered me in ways that few movies have, the first third of the film is one of the most horribly written films i have ever seen, and the other two thirds are almost a carbon copy of the comic its based on. This film is not worth watching. This film hurts me more than any other Batman film. The way they have written Barbara Gordon is so disrespectful, and this prologue has absolutely no impact on the story itself. Don't waste your time, watch Under The Red Hood instead.

For once I read the source material before seeing the movie adaption. It left me with a feeling of disappointment I normally don't get when watching WB animated movies and especially the ones with Batman. The graphic novel was amazing in its cruel and non-compromising nature thanks to how it deals with the most famous and twisted villain of the Batman universe, the Joker, and how he came to be. Therefore I had high expectations. Well, we still get great performances from both Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy, but here is my biggest problem, they literally retell the story with nothing added to it. Aside from the completely unnecessary backstory of Barbara Gordon which is tedious to sit through, it could just have been a reading done by the voice actors. The animation was lazy, and it looked awful when there was once in a while thrown in some 3D. I don't know, maybe I'm being too harsh on it, because aside from the backstory-thing, it was a faithful retelling. It just seemed bland, and since it is an adaption of an intense and disturbing graphic novel I just expected more than the rough drafts of potentially the greatest Batman movie ever.

What exactly does the first 30 minutes have to do with the last 50 minutes of this movie, outside of getting batman laid.I guess I need to read the comic, if the comic makes sense, then this movie goes into the abyss of negative tenIf anyone bothers reading this for some reason, do the following, start watching the movie about 20 min in, you literally will not miss anything that has to do with the plot

I really don't mind the concept of starting off with a new Batgirl story, but it was not well executed and did not even portray Batgirl very well. The rest is a solid adaptation, but it still feels like it's missing something. Not sure why it got an R rating, either, it was pretty much PG-13
