Review of Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010) by Kieran F — 06 Mar 2011

WOAH....THIS IS AMAZING. the animation is GREAT(It's very...Comic book feel but it works.) The story is ALMOST an EXACT replica of Frank Millers style of Batman. Its much more...Mature and it feels more like the Batman show from the 90's(None of this...Childish BS and cheesey humor thrown in to make it kiddie friendly) And I also enjoyed the addition of Night-wing(AKA Dick Grayson PEOPLE) was interesting instead of seeing Robin. The Action is AWESOME to it's very...Comic bookish too.

In all honesty this is...A Frank Miller Comic of batman come to life and it's GREAT. Watching this I CONSTANTLY paused the film just so I could GAZE in amazement at the art work and then compare it to the comics. I dare ANYONE to do this and find a fault I HONESTLY found NONE. It's that great. As I said before its also very frank miller not only because of the art work but because of the VIOLENCE Its not...Kiddie violence(IE you see him shoot a guy but no blood etc.) ITS Like VIOLENCE. The film was HONESTLY ratted 14a(In Canada,PG13 In USA,)And it deserved it. This is MUCH more violentish and darker then alot of the other batman's. Hence why I say it's a Frank Miller film.

Honesty there's NOTHING I can really say about this film that is bad but if I was to nitpick there would be Two things. 1. The Red Hood(Villan) is basically ,to me, Like a sad rip off of Marvels Red Skull and Deadpool so he doesn't seem that original. And the same with the other villain Black Skull(Although IN DC'S Comics originally) he feels like a sad ripoff of Well...Red Skull just...Black. LOL So it feels weird seeing the OLD villain who(isn't really original) and seeing a New villain who...also isn't really original. But ALL In ALL this is one of the GREATEST animated Batman's EVER. And one of the best Batman's Ever. PERIOD.

I'm Also going to go on the record that this is THE FIRST animated batman film that actually made me cry at the end. The story was SO strong that seeing the young Robin say "This Is The Best Day Of My Life" Actually brought me to tears when you know that what happens to him.
