Bought on a lark, but much more entertaining than I expected from the trailers and reviews. It's not going to win any awards, but it is fun to watch. Lots of action, sure, but much more character centered than I expected, each with a unique personality. Maybe 3.5 stars.
NOT like the "Taken" series. Some high intensity action, but mostly focuses on suspense. Lots of surprises. Hard to say more without spoilers, but very, VERY gripping. Maybe like Hitchcock but with a little "Taken" mixed in.
Entertaining, with excellent production values. High creepiness factor, lousy science. I give it a "no" on recommending to a friend, but only because whether someone is going to like or hate it depends on their personality.
All aspects of this film were extremely well done, but I thought the science fantasy setting, odd sexual situations, and disturbing images would prevent it from being a serious Oscar contender. I'm glad I was wrong. I highly recommend it, but warn that it is really not for kids, unless they are very mature.
Really for DC fans only and, in my case, purchased so that that the series doesn't have a hole in it. Entertaining, but like Green Lantern, has lots of disappointments - especially the depiction of Lex Luthor. A friend who is a real fan of the series, I would recommend it to, otherwise, no.
An entertaining film - not as good as Wonder Woman, not as bad as S vs B Dawn of Justice. My "yes" recommendation to a friend would depend upon how much of a DC fan they are.
This release combines the previous separately released two parts of the animated adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns, and includes a documentary that focuses on Frank Miller's work creating the original influential graphic novel.
Good Batman Story, PG-13 -- But Not Really For Kid

Verified Purchase:Yes
An aging "Dark Knight" comes out of retirement to battle gangs and an old nemesis and acquires a new Robin in the process. Quite dark and violent at times. Not as inappropriate as the R-rated "The Killing Joke", but think twice before showing it to youngsters.
Bought this as a replacement for one of my oldest, and most favorite, movies on DVD (or on the big screen). The combination of the talents of Jim Henson and his team, the young Jennifer Connelly, and the incomparable performance of Jim Bowie as the Goblin King are not to be missed.
What can I say. I like Danny Trejo movies. This is not what you'd call a "great movie" in the general scheme of things, but if you like the mixture of action and invincibility that is a hallmark of certain Danny Trejo films, you'll probably enjoy this.
