Son of Batman (2014)

Sadly Over-hyped

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Where do I start? I must say that, in theory, I really like the character of Damian. The problem is his execution within the story. The writers make Damian so invincible and so powerful that it's annoying as hell. I mean, OK, we know he was raised by the League of Assassins and we know that a universe of super-heroes is not usually realistic, but ... for God's sake, he's still a f.u.c.k.i.n.g 10- year-old boy. Did it cost something for the writers to give a Damian some REAL vulnerability and fragility ? Watching this boy fighting on the same level of Nightwing it's painful. Watching Slade Wilson having his ass kicked by a brat was painful. What the hell was that final fight? The brat literally had both his arms severely injured and stuck by two swords, and yet he was able to free himself. More than freeing himself, he continued to fight as if NOTHING had happened. More than continue fighting, he defeated Slade, a high- profile assassin twice his age, with no help!!! Seriously DC? Give me a break!

Son of Batman is based on the comic where Talia leaves Damian to go to Gotham and find his father Bruce Wayne A.k.a Batman but there's one problem his son is pretty messed up and rude. The problem with Damian is always that he's a 50/50 character there are times where he actually acts as a Robin or a hero and others that he's annoying and stupid but even tho he does the same in this it was the first film where they introduced him so i was fine with that but when Justice League v.s Teen Titans came out it actually bugged me a lot. I still liked tho as a movie Damian fights Deathstroke, Ras dies, Batman goes against Man-Bat and Killer Croc and i liked that seeing good villains in an actual good film besides the 6.7 rating.

This is the single worst Batman movie to date. I truly believe this is worse than Batman and Robin, because at least that film is funny.The plot makes no sense, the villain's motivations are frankly ridiculously stupid and nonsensical, the fights are uninspired, Damian Wayne is at his worst in terms of insufferable characterisation and insipid, mean-spirited dialogue, the voice acting ranges from fairly good to the worst I've heard in professional animation.Deathstroke is changed from an incredible and intelligent fighter into a pathetic, idiotic bumbler who gets knocked out with one punch from Batman. The supposedly unstoppable army of Man-Bats are actually less effective and far dumber than normal human beings, and stopped in one of the weakest anti-climaxes I've ever seen. The plot is so poorly handled that I honestly started to laugh out loud at what were supposed to be tense scenes. That's not even getting into the scene between Batman and Talia which seems to suggest the writers are rape apologists--yes, Bruce states he was drugged and raped by Talia, but that it was "not all bad" which is undoubtedly the most horribly awful thing I've heard in a DC movie.Bottom line, I only recommend this to people if you want a truly hilariously inept film to watch and laugh about with your friends, which is precisely what I did after trying to watch it on my own.

... could have done.The execution, the voice acting is indeed below par in places. This is true.But I confess the story got to me. Usually any production that starts with the words "SON OF" is doomed. Literally.But the story hooked me so I tolerated the subpar production values and actually had a fairly good time.More than once I even wondered if somewhere out there was a producer who would find the cash to do this live action but given the audience expectations for a live action BATMAN, especially after Dark Knight, I guess that REALLY WOULD BE A FANTASY.
