Batman: Under the Red Hood is fun, but you'll probably like it more if you already have a pretty strong Batman background. It deals with characters and storylines some may be unfamiliar with. This feels like an episode of the old Batman: The Animated Series, only darker. I enjoyed it.
... View MoreOne of the best animated movies to come out of the DCAU. Well-written with a lot of focus on the characters but it doesn't skimp on the action in any way. The people making DC's current crop of animated movies should look to this as an example of how to get it right. You don't have to sacrifice quality storytelling for action. Also, I've objected to the use of violence, language, and sexuality in some of the later DC animated films because it seemed mostly superficial and tacked-on just for titillation and posturing. But here the story warrants adult themes. If anything, it soft pedals a bit when it shouldn't (Robin never looks as badly beaten as he should, for one). The animation is excellent. The action scenes are just incredible. Enough good things can't be said about the script, which is well above par for these things. The voice acting is solid, although the BTAS fan in me will probably always yearn for those voices in these movies. All together it's amazing and deserving of all its praise.
... View MoreI loved this film when I first rented it back in 2010 and now, I have it on Blu-Ray. It's emotional, hard-driven and overwhelmingly great in performances. Jensen Ackles does the character, Jason Todd supreme justice in delivery. The plot, the back story, the original sound track, the dedication and the themes, everything is so greatly written and embedded with emotion. I cried when it ended and wanted more as I sat blankly after the credits. What makes this film vastly different than other DC films is visually noticed right away. I only wish other DC animated films were just as incredibly awesome! I highly recommend you go and watch it NOW! Remember to bring tissues and popcorn. This is the best DC animated film I've seen in my life!
... View MoreBatman:Under The Red Hood is one of my favorite movies of Batman because it really hit a home run in more ways then one.It focus on story telling and characters which gives you a great appreciation for the cast and crew who wanted to give you a movie for not only Batman or comic book fans but movie fans in general.It just has the right storm to make it a thrill to watch and you want to watch it twice to take it all in.First off the voice acting is just phenomenal each actor and actress gave a powerful emotional performance that you could actually feel like they gave their heart and soul into the characters. Bruce Greenwood did a excellent job as Batman, John DiMaggio I hereby declare one of the best actors to play the Joker his voice performance just honors what makes the Joker a fan favorite villain and how evil the crown prince of crime can be, Jensen Ackle as The Red Hood goes to show when you give someone a shot they will hit a home run. This is some of the best voice acting every in a animated movie and is deserving of any spot for motion pictures.The animation is dark and helps tells the story of the movie you get the feel that something can happen any more with the animation it just like watching the classic Batman the Animated Series the art crew just deserve a lot of points.The story is just powerful that you have to sit back and take it all in the story it just worth watching the movie and really gives the characters a chance to shine and how everyone could understand them more.The score in the movie matches it as well every scene is given a score to help bring the movie attention to the viewers. Batman Under The Red Hood is one of the movies you have to watch if you're a fan of Batman or Movie fan. Trust me you won't regret watching this masterpiece of a Batman movie it just goes to show how to make animation movies still as goodI give Batman:Under The Red Hood an 9 out of 10
