A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I don't know how they have managed to show all this in 75 minutes .. but i thought i was watching a 2 hour movie and the thrill never went down . NOT EVEN FOR A MINUTEThe first part was in itself great, but the second part really breaks the boundary of excellence. Not being familiar to the graphic novel origins of the story, what happens in second part really blows my mind. Not only does Batman have the Joker to contend with, but put Superman together in the mix, and you get another level of awesomeness.This is one of the darkest portrayals of the Batman universe and it makes me wonder how the hell did they get away from an R rating. Never has been an animated movie been so thrilling and so serious for me like these. The whole story and some of the fight scenes are just epic. While face-offs with Harvey Dent & the Mutant Leader in Part 1 was great, battles with the Joker & Superman in Part 2 takes animation movies to a whole new level. Some might be disappointed not to hear Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill's familiar voices, I'd say the chosen actors to play the older counterparts was a right decision. Some subplots might be mildly uninteresting, but that is irrelevant when most of the package is stuffed with such greatness.Easily the most powerful conclusion and the finest animated production from Warner Premiere, the whole thing looks superb. Animation is of the highest quality, rivaling that of big budget anime movies. Fight scenes are in full motion, bristling with a kinetic sense of energy and without a single short cut. All of it set to a unique score by composer Christopher Drake which combines blockbuster orchestral tunes with a futuristic tune inspired synthesizer sounds. Again, the main complaint is more with the art than the animation. Frank Miller's art is faithfully replicated but in certain scenes, the quality of the art takes a nose dive. One such scene involves superman taking on a naval fleet; the way the ships are drawn look pathetically cheap compared to the rest of the movie.These are Batman movies which almost shake my soul some of the familiar experiences are Batman Under the Red hood and The Dark Knight.But I recommend a new comer to watch in this order1)Batman Under the red hood 2)Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 3)Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 Final marks A++

I was speechless after watching this. The movie was literally perfect. It really pushed the boundaries of how epic an animated movie can be.This is definitely the best Batman movie I've ever seen, and paired with part 1, one of the best movies I've ever seen. This movie understands that Batman is not for kids, and keeps a Dark tone throughout. Even with it being animated it treats the image like a professional movie's cinematography. It's just amazing.As far as the voice cast, I would have preferred Kevin Conroy for Batman, but Peter Weller (aka RoboCop) actually does a really good job. Michael Emerson as the Joker was interesting, out of the norm, but i liked it (Even Mark Hamill liked it) I cannot express in words however, how amazing David Selby was as Commissioner Gordon.The soundtrack still gives me chill bumps when I listen to it, kudos to Christopher Drake.The plot, was epic, nothing cliché, nothing too weird. It did however have some weird, awkward moments, that set it apart from part 1. The appearance of the Joker and Superman in this make it very noteworthy. Not going to spoil anything but let's just say, this was Batman v Superman as it should have been.This movie is just perfect. Watch both parts. It is a must see for anyone.

In general, I love this two (part 1+2). The action, the world setting and story, batman's tactical, even soundtracks. Not much for the graphic though. And the joker is a lame joke.Here are few things that bug me: 1. Dealing with Dent, Batman runs through a line of cable, steady like he's on the ground along with sound of footsteps. Then, he fires a hook rifle which clearly not reloaded.2. Joker's two robots, Bobby and Mary, are childish. How do they fly, have high AI, carry gas and bomb? In addition, Joker's plan is lame.3. Russian launches the nuke and we never hear anything from them. US seem to be safe from following treat, fight, or anything.4. Clark is too powerful to be controlled by the government, especially when the president is a dumb ass.

I just watched both parts and there are a lot of thing that bothered me.Millions of bullets and all are flying past their target. Hello to the clone troopers from Star Wars.Batman's costume does not protect him from bullets or from knives or from bites or from hits. With the same success he could run around in a t'shirt.Some minors spoilers below.The girl learned to fight and jump 3 meters high as soon as she put Robin's costume.What does the police do all the time? They hunt for Batman while in the near there are villains who are killing hundreds of innocent civilians. Also the police screams "stop" and opens fire in the same time.Two-Face and Joker were released because they promised to be good from now on? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
