EXQUISIT MOVIE!!!

10

By -batmat-, Aug 07, 2010

I think this movie is incredible, the animation is at it's best and the plot is great.

The CGI images looked great, compare the Batwing from its appearence in "Feat of Clay" and this one, the difference is stunning.

There's nothing wrong with the elements that made the movie, voices (except maybe G. Belson that I recognized in a second as the voice of Scarface, he pulls a great job, tho), animation, plot, it's all great, BUT....

The only thing that plays against this movie, is that it seems like a two-part episode with extended action sequences. ie, the extended intro involving the submarine and Victor Fries fishing with his bears, the jazz band and people dancing, nice touch but really unnecessary, Dick chasing Mr Freeze, it's a great action sequence, but it's too prolonged, I mean, the movie goes for only an hour, think about it without extended scenes and you get a two-part episode. However, the final sequence with the fire, was perfect (i thing it last for 10-15 minutes)

What I really love is the ending, with Mr Freeze learning that his wife is now cured, and he cries of joy, like regaining his emotions.

EXCELLENT way to end Batman: The Animated Series leaving room for The New Batman Adventures to come along, and so Batman Beyond, Justice League, etc, with it.moreless
