What is wrong with you people


We get good animation, and fight chreography, and you people still complain. It's an action comic book movie, but you people want a bunch of detailed story. Batman and his friends kick ass story complete. Also, I think this was an original story.

Every character got to tell a story. We learned about Batwoman, we learned about Nightwing and
his feeling towards Bruce. We see Damian trying not to kill, bringing what was taught to him from the other movies. I love how the movies connect. People complaining about the lack of story... We have three movies
worth of story.

This was by far the best of the three Batman movies so far. I was thoroughly impressed by it.

I loved it, some nitpick minor changes I would have made but this series is very entertaining for me. I don't know how Batman/DC fans could not like this either. Lack of story? if anything there was too much story, too many characters and not enough time to truly go in depth, but for the runtime it was tightly packed and felt longer than 70 mins.

I loved it as well a pretty good film, I came here expecting to see some praise but all I see is hate for this film and the whole new-52 collective. I don't even think their judging this film but the overall structure which makes them not able to enjoy a rather good animated film.

This movie was awesome. It had elements loosely adapting a ton of different Batman stories, namely Batwoman, Batwing, Batman and Robin [Morrison], The Heretic/Batman Incorporated... it had easter eggs and references galore and used some of the cooler B-Listers like Firefly and Killer Moth.

There is no pleasing some people. Fanboys just want everything to be like Batman the animated series.

The only two problems I had with it stemmed from two of the newer characters. Without going into details, I felt that Heretic's character arc was underwhelming, particularly given his chilling Bane-esque start and Batwing, who will hopefully be more than Iron Bat/Cyborg in the subsequent movies.

I think you nailed it, underwhelming was the right word. The Heretic arc ended as soon as it started getting interesting, and Batwing never really got interesting.

The animation was poor, the story was lame, andthey wanted money for this. It wasn't worth the money, or my time.

But I could say the same thing to you. I'm pretty sure we're both fans of DC and Batman. Both of us love the character. So how is it that someone like you can love this film? but someone like me can dislike it and criticize it?

Maybe it's because I love the character and DC so much that I want their work to be as great as it can be. I agree with you in that the animation was great, the fights were exciting, and there were some cool characters. The "story" as a whole was a bit wonky but it was alright. However, it's not so much the story as a whole that people who criticize complain about, it's the individual writing that builds that story. Things like how lines are written, how scenes are placed to bring the plot together, details here and there that don't make sense, etc.

If you enjoyed the movie, then that's great. You shouldn't let other peoples' opinions affect yours. BUT, if someone else found issues with the film and didn't enjoy it as much, I don't see why you should disregard them.

Using "it's an action comic book movie" as an excuse for lazy writing is the same as saying, "it's just a kid's movie!". Do you want to watch "Norm of the North"? Or do you want to watch something like "The Lego Movie"? Both of them are kids movies, but one of them is clearly better than the other. My point is, just because it's an action comic book movie doesn't mean it can't have great writing. So again, at least for me, it's not the story overall that I have a problem with, but the individual writing.

No hate though!
