SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

StarmanDX I really don't mind the concept of starting off with a new Batgirl story, but it was not well executed and did not even portray Batgirl very well. The rest is a solid adaptation, but it still feels like it's missing something. Not sure why it got an R rating, either, it was pretty much PG-13

midosadek While it is based on the great comic book of the same name this on screen Animated adaptation is not great its not good its decent

WadiDosiTosk What an astonishing movie, especially the first half is fun and entertaining. While the original story by Alan Moore turned Barbara Gordon into a mere plot device (after Mister Moore was told to "cripple" her by some immature consecutive named Len Wein), this movie actually goes deeper and makes matters personal, as Batman finally has a reason to hunt the Joker down and stop the maniacal, sadistic and murderous "Clown Prince of Crime" for good...something the Dark Knight has failed to accomplish in all those years, despite having had endless chances and opportunities to do so. Bruce and Barbara have a friendship which goes beyond what the comic canon had established on New Earth/Earth-1 (the main universe in which most of the Batman stories take place). It is for that added romance and backstory which turns a simple retelling of a comic into a television masterpiece. A backstory was necessary, as the viewer had not seen Batgirl in the DC Animated Movie Universe yet, except for a small cameo at the end of some animated movie, and that was the New 52 Burnside- Batgirl, not the more well known one with the yellow and black outfit, so it was very kind of Brian Azzarello and Bruce Timm to add half an hour of pure greatness.It is sad how so many butthurt people crap on a wonderful movie, just because two FICTIONAL adults had sex once. Those people should be ashamed of themselves and consider living in a church for the rest of their lives.

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.
