Rating : - I thought it would be better...
When I read in one of my magazines that they were making Batman Gotham Knight, I was really excited about it. I thought it would be this dark adult animated movie that I would find really gripping and entertaining. I saw it in blockbuster one day when I was with one of my friends so I decided to buy it. Maybe my expectations were too high but I was slightly disappointed.
It isn't one long movie. It's a movie in six sections and it is done by different anime artists. Some of the styles I liked, some disliked. I guess that is just a preference of opinion. But some of the separate stories I found a little bit predictable. The first one is okay. It didn't really do anything for me and I didn't particularly love the style. In some of the other stories, certain aspects seemed somewhat awkward and batman just suddenly appears in a very odd places. I don't want to give too much away but there was one side story that was a bit interesting. It went back into his past when he was still training to become batman. I really loved the style of the last section of the story but I thought there would be more to the bad guy.
I'm not saying it's bad but some of it wasn't outstanding. There is some great directing and animation in it, don't get me wrong but perhaps my expectations were too high. I would rent it first before you buy it to see it is something you really want.
