Batman - Mask of the Phantasm Reviews
Dark Phantasm
I saw this movie a few years ago, but can still remember in quite good detail the fine points of it. First I must say I love noir, and that either Batman, or Spiderman, or Superman is my favorite of all the superheroes, simply because I grew up watching Batman/Superman on Kids WB, and Spiderman on Fox Kids. But, more importantly, Batman, with that noir feel to it, is probably the one I enjoyed, and/or will enjoy the most, for my mind often goes back to the comics, and oh how I wish to have them.
Take note that this movie is darker than the original cartoon, before it got the revamp.
I will not go into a whole outline of the movie, but it is a tale in which you can really feel Bruce's pain, and being that he is my most loved of the three superheroes listed above, I can almost empathize with him. All he ever wants to do is help, and all he ever ends up is hurt. My heart truly pains for him. For he found his true love, but had to give her up to the murderous rage that has destroyed so many lives, both in tv, movies, and all other aspects of life.
If you are looking for a great story, and some quite good voice acting, then this is definitely something you would enjoy.
But be warned that like the original cartoon, this story is quite dark in its complexion.
not your average animated series entry of bruce wayne
This one was kind of weird, it was very adult like yet managed to remain a kids movie. This is for those kids that like a little darker stuff like i did. The dramatic moments from bruce are excellent in this and the love story I thought was the best in the entire series. While the romance makes for a more complete movie, that is really not what I am looking for, all you fans of the joker played by mark hamill are in for a real treat. He is as insane as ever, with a robot maid as one of his only friends. He also has one of his scariest moments, there is just something about seening him in that hat. It is truly amazing how they manage to cram so much of a story like a 70 minute movie, and there is a flashback that lasts like half the movie!
So overall a bit unreal, but a true gritty batman episode, movie whatever you want to call it.
2-channel audio and no commentary makes this dvd inferior to return of the joker, but slightly edges that entry out with a better movie. So overall a better dvd since I don't watch dvd's for the special features, a regular feature is just fine with me.
