Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Matt Greene I'm a fan of the book, and about half of this is an exact copy of it. However, the tacked-on prologue with the weird, borderline-statutory bat-sex? No thanks.

Austin Cross High points of the movie:The animation and graphics are unique and very interesting. There were certain parts during the movie, especially with the close-ups of the Joker, that really highlight and accentuate eyes and facial features. Everything else is animated sleekly and everything looks almost realistic but with a bit of an animated twist to it.I thought the backstory with the Joker was very interesting. I haven't read any of the comics or graphic novels, so my knowledge of Batman and the Joker is very limited. It was good to see that Joker, whatever his real name is, was a compassionate human being before his accident. I also found it compelling that Batman was there when the Joker made his transition from good to evil.Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill return to provide their voices for their respective roles of Batman and the Joker. It was very refreshing to hear Conroy and Hamill return after watching so many adaptations with other voice actors providing their voices for the two iconic characters.Low points:The movie is very unbalanced. From what I have read from other reviewers, the graphic novel really wasn't long enough to be turned into a feature-length film, so Brian Azzarello, the screenplay writer, wrote in an extra twenty minutes at the beginning. While the extra material in the film is not entirely bad, one can definitely comprehend the differences even if they haven't read the graphic novel.The unnecessary sex scene. Now, it cuts away before it really gets shown, but I felt that it was extremely unnecessary. Again, this wasn't in the original from what I researched, but that's not the reason why it bothered me. It bothered because it was very uncharacteristic of Batman to do it.Overall:Not a bad movie. It's definitely worth your time. If you have read the graphic novel, your opinion of the movie can go one of three ways. One, you hate it because it's a bit different. Two, you take it for what it is and accept the changes. Three, you love it. I am somewhere in the middle. I give this movie a seven out of ten stars.

7/11 was an inside job If your a Batman fan, you probably love the Joker, and if your a major Batman fan who likes to read the comics, you probably like The Killing Joke. For those who somehow don't know The Killing Joke is a comic storyline that centers around or favorite clown prince of crime doing what he does best, messing with Batman and anyone who works with him. This comic has been praised for making Joker doing one of the most sadistic things he's ever done. First he cripples Barbra Gordon aka Batgirl, strips her and takes nudies of her. He then kidnaps Commissioner Gordon, strips him, makes him look at his own daughter naked and injured surrounded by freaks that you would see in a circus (obviously). The entire time Joker is trying to break Commissioner Gordon into killing Batman. Obviously Batman stops him. Before he's arrested Batman tells Joker he wants to help him, and Joker refuses saying that he's to far gone. He then tells a joke that's basically a way of him explaining how him and Batman are the same but different. Batman understanding what he's saying, laughs with the Joker, showing one of the most intimate and almost friendly times we've seen Batman be with one of his enemies. The movie takes this amazing comic and brings it into animated beauty that DC does. While it does add things such as the Barbra Gordon X Bruce Wayne sex scene which I would say I didn't enjoy, it's still amazing and should be watched, but knowing some of you who know of The Killing Joke, you've probably already seen it.

peefyn I do not understand how someone can justify giving this movie a theatrical release. It is more like a couple of episodes from a Saturday morning cartoon than it is a movie.It starts with a hardly related subplot that serves little purpose but to weaken Batgirl as a character and show us that Batman is Batman. It is almost like those movie releases on VHS where they obviously just put some episodes from a show together to form a movie.Once the story with the joker begins, the movie gets a bit better, at least partly due to Hamill's performance. There are some interesting moments, but even this part of the film feels like a low budget replacement. And the visual style does not fit the story at all. It's like they read the source material and decided to make a 90s animated show about it, only less pretty.
