a5c7b9f00b Batman faces his ultimate challengethe mysterious Red Hood takes Gotham City by firestorm. One part vigilante, one part criminal kingpin, Red Hood begins cleaning up Gotham with the efficiency of Batman, but without following the same ethical code. Killing is an option. And when the Joker falls in the balance between the two, hard truths are revealed and old wounds are reopened. There&#39;s a mystery afoot in Gotham City, and Batman must go toe-to-toe with a mysterious vigilante, who goes by the name of Red Hood. Subsequently, old wounds reopen and old, once buried memories come into the light. I don&#39;t know what everyone is talking about on here about how this movie is great. I just wasted $5 renting this thing on demand, and here are just a few of the many things wrong with it:<br/><br/><ul><li>There are so many direct rip-offs of both Christopher Nolan Batman movies that it would take the length of the movie to list them all (e.g., the music, the setting of the Amazo scene, the beginning where Batman is racing to save Robin before the explosion, even the look of characters like Gamble, Joker making a school bus comment, etc. etc. etc. etc.). - Were they intentionally trying to make Batman (for the whole movie) and his motorcycle (in the beginning) look old timey? If so, why didn&#39;t the rest of the movie have the same aesthetic? It was like seeing Adam West&#39;s Batman in Batman Begins/The Dark Knight. - The dialogue and voice characters were completely wrong,in I could have been watching a dubbed anime for all the emotion and acting ability both conveyed (note the sarcasm here). The actors sounded like they were untrained noob actors trying to act in an off-Broadway play, and both the Batman&#39;s and the Joker&#39;s voices were real jokes. No substance, depth, or emotion with stilted, forced, and often mis-timed dialogue. - Were the makers of the movie intentionally trying to make Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson look like they were lifted out of a Japanese animated feature? I know the trend lately has been to bring a Japanese/anime aeshetic to animated films but this is ridiculous. - I like how the cover of the DVD/Blu-ray shows a stylized and more modern look, especially of Batman, but then in the actual movie see my comment above re: Adam West. - The World&#39;s Greatest Detective was fooled by a latex dummy. WTF???</li></ul><br/><br/>I could go on, but seriously, if people are amazed by this movie, you&#39;d find more enjoyment from reading the various comics the film rips off (I&#39;m assuming everyone&#39;s seen BB and TDK). It seems to me all the positive comments for this film are from people who just love the &quot;character development&quot; and &quot;complexity&quot; and how &quot;dark&quot; it is and how it&#39;s how a comic book movie should be made and blah blah blah, but these high points are in the comics, not the movie, and are only present because this film just rips off previously released work. I wouldn&#39;t mind seeing animated versions of comic story lines, but if you&#39;re going to be a hack at least try to do it right/not beoffensive. All in all, Under the Red Hood plays like the makers didn&#39;t have any good ideas/didn&#39;t want to spend the time/energy to come up with any good ideas (or even their own take on pre-existing ideas), so they just jumbled together some copied source material and farmed out the animation to make a quick buck. But I enjoyed this movie. I was shocked by how dark and adult it was but I&#39;m glad that Warner Bros had the balls to do it. It includes swearing, murder, torture and no small amount of blood. Despite being animated, this is NOT a kids film! <br/><br/>It was far from perfect; I think the animation could have been better and some of the characters were underdeveloped and had little to do. For example Alfred mightwell have been left out of the film altogether. Also the dialogue wasn&#39;t brilliant, although I did like the fact that the writer was willing to put in swear words. However Robin&#39;s line at the end &quot;this is the best day of my life&quot; was a rather lame way to end the film.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve never paid much attention to Batman but what I know about it was enough for me to follow the story. However I didn&#39;t like the supernatural stuff. In my experience of Batman, limitedit is compared to fans, there&#39;s no supernatural stuff so it seemed out of place to me. Batman&#39;s a superhero but unlike Superman and Spiderman, none of his abilities are supernatural so adding a magical healing pool seemed wrong for a film which, for a superhero movie, was brutally realistic.
