the action, the animation, the plot is very good.

Awesome.Every Batman lover should watch it.

This movie is very very good. From starting to end this movie was just great. All the characters in the movie were looking awesome. Story was also great. Everything just bound me to watch the movie till the end. This is in my top 10 best animated movies list of DC.

I watched this movie less than an hour ago, so you know I got some stuff to say. WARNING SPOILERS First of all, WAY TOO SHORT. The film is only 76minutes long and it's very morbid. Definitely not a kids film. In the beginning it comes to the most horrifying scene I've witnessed in a animated D.C. Comics film. It basically starts off with the Joker beating Jason Todd (Red Hood) with a crow bar. Along with that, there are several death scenes that are very well animated along with the rest of the movie. I personally think the graphics are far better than the ones in Young Justice and The Best Of Batman. Second of all, it's more like a T.V. show season finale when you think about it...not just because it's so short but because nobody accomplished anything important except finish Red Hood's origin story, which was what I was expecting because super heroes or villians don't really try to kill each other when you think of it, and when they do try, they end up getting shoved back into Arkham Asylum. And it IS an origin story. But unlike Marvel's origin stories, this one had a fast pace and was a lot easier and more entertaining to watch. Probably because it's animated. And 3rd of all, it is VERY emotional. From having flash backs to random spots that trigger Bruce's memory, to seeing under the red hood. Besides that, the cast is great. Part of the animation makes the character's face look a lot like the actors that play them. Overall it's probably my favorite animated movie. But, still, very good. I must see in my opinion.

It gets better every time you watch it.

The fluent animation and great story make for one of the best animated batman films..

ow I've personally been wanting to talk about this film for a while but the problem is I've been having trouble writing about it because I feel that it is an incredible film but I just feel there isn't as much to talk about that I can go into extreme detail about, but I'll try my best to justify its 2nd place spot. First off the animation in this film is probably some of DC animations best work (just watch the Amazo fight or the fight near the end of the film to see.) It has a somewhat darker look compared to the animation done in JL or in Batman Beyond and it looks very, very good at many points even making a few little nods to other Batman incarnations in the background at points. Also this is the first Batman DCAU film that has none of the original Batman Animated Series cast portraying any of the characters and it's all a fresh new cast portraying each character and they all do just as good as the BTAS cast. Matthew Greenberg is just fantastic as Batman and I actually thought at first it was Kevin Conroy doing the character again but noticed a little difference in his voice after a while but I could hardly notice at first. John DiMaggio is just incredible as the Joker and I'd say he's just as good as Mark Hamills version of the Joker (yes I said in my VC he was close but not as good but the more I think about it the better he got.) He's psychotic and takes nods from Hamills Joker but also the dark edge that Ledger had at the same time and is just amazing. Jensen Ackles portrays the Red Hood and Neil Patrick Harris portrays Nightwing and they both do fantastic jobs. Ackles has this mysterious badass but familiar kind of sound to his voice which actually helps with the twist halfway through the film, and Harris is just as good as he is in anything he is in (yes I even liked him in Smurfs,) while not getting a lot of screentime as Nightwing he still does a great job. Also the plot is much more dark than some of the other Batman animated films prior to this one, especially with the help of this dark Joker and with the Black Mask sidestory, and the movie seems much more gun happy than the other films really did prior, which I like to see in a Batman film because it does stay true to the darker Batman comics and Graphic Novels (The films starts with Robin being tortured by the Joker with a crowbar.) Also the twist halfway through the film is very, very good but I don't dare want to ruin it for you, but it is kind of obvious if you think about it through enough. But other than that the film is very good and I highly recommend it to any fan of animation, Batman, or DC in general. Plus there's a great short of Jonah Hex on the DVD that manages to better than the whole Jonah Hex film (talking to the dead my ass.)

This is, far and away, the best animated Batman film...but is it also the best Batman film PERIOD? It's bittersweet, funny, emotional, thematically rich, and morally complex; and that final scene in the abandoned apartment is intensely dramatic perfection. Such a bold way to end a superhero film...no explosions, little action, just incredible dialogue and wonderful characters.

Batman: Under the Red Hood pushes the boundaries of DC's animated world to darker waters, faithfully recapturing a dark and grizzly chapter in the Dark Knight's career.

It's fun,dark,watchable but too shortalso some are the physics are...unrealistic,but this is overshadowed by how memorable this film isI'm not sure if this film deserves a 4 or not though.However, because it has such big flaws,it's hard to give it 4 stars-so I decided on 3.5as a grade I'd give it a B+

A complex tussle of ethics...

Short with fast pacing & forced dialogue, slow it down a bit & let the fluidity in the storytelling flow through naturally, too many villains, Riddler barely even had any dialogue, Gotham City lacks a strong atmosphere, Commissioner Gordon wasn't featured prominently. Now to the good, film gets off to a hot start & takes off from their, Batman is portrayed in an intelligent image, the Voice Acting, the story, the action, the dialogue, likable characters, decent climax. Highly recommend 7.9/10

Though a great movie, I much less used to having Bruce Greenwood's voice coming out of Batman than Kevin Conroy's much better voice. It just doesn't speak to me as much. The story more than makes up for it.

One of the best animated Batman movies I have seen

One of the best Batman stories ever put to film.
