The Worst Film Ever
Excellent but underrated film
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
its a nice new look on the league of assassins and a new robin the action scenes were good but the overall story was just bad it seemed like they dragged it on for too long I did not like it that much below average not what I expect from anything batman so five out of ten its okay watchable.
Son of Batman is a loose adaptation of Grant Morrison's and Andy Kubert's Batman story arc titled Batman and Son. In which we see as Batman is introduced to his son by Talia Al Ghul ,the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul ,who after an attack of Deathstroke Talia is forced to send Damian (that's who she named him) to Batman. Is the movie good, well yes it is a solid Bat's story with good action, an interesting story and mostly nice characters.Does it have issues? Yes and I will start with them.Firstly and more important the portrait of Deathstroke, it is totally inaccurate ,for he is shown willing to kill Damian and been a second in command of Ra's and he cheats in order to kill him. This is wrong on so many levels that I can't right it all down. But to keep it simple Slade was a U.S marine who joined a super-soldier program, became a mercenary and has a strict code of honor. Which means that he would never hurt intentionally children and cheat a fight!The second issue for me is that the Man-Bat army though an interesting idea to weaponize them ,they are treated as a generic swarm of enemies and not as super assassins. That would be much better and so the full potential of the experiments of Dr. Langstrom! Never the less the rest are good enough in order to make me not bother to much for those problems.To start the animation fits perfectly with the brutal fight scenes and the tone of the movie. Now I personally don't like the anime style in DC animated movies but her is done well so I will give it a pass.Next the story is really good for we see Bruce dealing with the problems of parenthood and I was quit entertain by that as well as the fact he is one of the persons of the world who can understand what it means to have a tough childhood. As he said to Damian"I may had traumas but I had friends and family to keep me down and well, as far as I understand you only had trainers". Truth be told Damian never knew anything else than training so Bat's quote is to the point.Lastly and that is my personal opinion the voice acting died a fantastic work bringing these iconic characters to life and their portrayal was done ,apart from Deathstroke, in a respective manner to the source material.All in all here we have a fine DC animated film and if you want go watch it. It has my approval.
Thanks to a sick blend of action, comedy, and maturity, DC knocks this one out of the park and then some. This isn't just a home run, it's a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth. Beautifully animated, very funny, fantastically acted, and an awesome story. If this is only the beginning, I can't wait for the other two parts. There's really nothing wrong with this movie, the villains are introduced well, there's action throughout, the humor is spot-on, and the climax is superb. I'm not too familiar with Damian Wayne in the comics, but I love what I see so far. He might have an attitude in this, but he comes from a life of privilege, of servants tending to his every wish, it's natural that he would act this way. Plus, his chemistry with Alfred and Dick is great. I don't care what anyone says, this movie rocks.
Writing from the perspective of an animation fan of not only western but also Japanese animation these other reviewers must have watched a different show.the animation.This movie in comparison to it predecessors is superior in so many respects. Not only is the quality of animation more fluid the camera work dynamic the fighting and action is clear. The movie has focus in all regards. The shot composition is refreshing making use of dynamic perspectives, symbolism and light. All which is none intrusive to the story flow. The animation style is refreshing an innovative as far as western animation is concerned and uses modern costume design as contrast. Batman looks supper bad-ass in almost every shot.story.The story is clear in direction and has perfect pacing, in the first few scenes establishing a world dynamic in physical ability and scale. The super human kind not as limited as many worlds batman is a part of. deflecting bullets with swords for example. This leads to a more interesting story in my opinion. With it beimg basically a origin story for the second robin and is a set up for the next film. taking from the universes already established characters. Batman is in this world a god, equating to his status as on par with superman.acting is perfectly fine, robins actor impressed me nothing stood out as bad. My Opinion.I enjoyed this film because of the intricate world building and crazy level of human power. It is unfiltered and on par with any other DC adaptation. How people are rating this film so poorly is almost beyond me. My only theory is western audiences aren't ready for heartless worlds to be animated. Such which equate to game of thrones in brutality and confuse people. Even then I'm surprised it got below 8.
